Thread: Triton 2000 Enquiry

Martin

In addition to condition there are a heap of variables that you need to take into account:
1. Is it with or without a saw installed - if so is the saw 185mm or 235mm, is it a good one and what condition is is in?
2. What accessories does it have? For my money you need the height winder, wheel kit and dust bag, but some sellers either do or don't include the accessories.

Against that background, I think that you can assume that a Workcentre 2000 in good used condition will sell for 75-80% of RRP, as will those accessories - other accessories are much harder to price in. The saw will probably only add $50- $80 to that price.

I purchased my 2000 recently from Bunnies at $499, without saw or any other accessories. So second hand you should pay about $399 for the 2000, $235 for a triton saw 235mm, $36 for a height winder, about $39 for a dust bucket, a wheel kit $20 and about $65 for a dust bag. In total about $800. If you can get them for less good on you, I've used 80% in my calculations. You could save more by getting a cheaper saw but don't get one smaller than 235mm.

Martin, I've sent you a PM.

They are actually all over the place. If you go to ebay, log in and search on triton in home section or alternatively put "triton 2000" in quotes as I've done just there, then go to the left column and tick completed items and hit show items at the bottom of that panel you'll see all the auctions form the last couple of months and the final sale prices. The range from a bare table in poor condition for about $160 to one with saw and accessories for nearly a grand.

The triton stuff holds it's value well, good if your selling, bad if your buying.

Where you can make real savings is buying a bundle. A 2000 plus say RTA300, quality saw, maybe a router and a few other bits can sell as a job lot for a significant discount. Make sure your buying stuff in good condition. If it's stuffed it'll cost time and money to put right.

If your set (no pun) on just a saw table go to justtools.com.au print it out and check prices about the place. Shop around for a good price on a newy and don't be shy about haggling.
