Thread: Triton 2HP router $99 in Bunnings Adelaide

Dear Damian,

Just thought of it now! If you do ring GMC/Triton for a new set of brushes and covers, it might be a good idea if you also get the through-table height winder while you're at it. Not sure if it comes as part of a kit of some sort, but whatever the case, I'm sure it will come in handy some day...

Cheerio,
Batpig.

Yes it does come in a kit it's the TGA 150 kit and at just tools is $55 but bunnings have it as $46 in Brissy. The TGA 150 comes with above table height winder, chip collector and 7 template guides to suit the MOF001 router which is the 1400w model.

Read this thread last night and decided I might like some of the Triton action myself if it was staring me in the face when I passed through today. Sure enough 1400 router for $99 last one in the store at Taylors Lakes. I use the big one all the time and it's a mighty machine. Now I don't have to unclip it for freehand use. Thanks for the insider trading. That's the best discount I've had on a quality item in a long time.

i wouldn't mind hearing a tweet or two from birdie as well

Bunnings Hoppers Xing lost their display (and last) 1400W router 15 miutes ago, the guys on staff were miffed because they didn't know they had been made code 'F' .

Make sure if they grab a box to scan it is the correct one. First up they scanned the 2400W box but fortunately I caught on to the higher price.

Mate, you've got a good heart. Ya' seem to get that with Muso's a fair bit...

Best Wishes,
Batpig.

Dunno about a good heart but I've got a fat wallet. And it's a no risk situation. If I'd bought say 6 and for some reason no one here wanted them all there is always ebay. How long do you reckon it'd take to sell a few mof's at $99 starting bid on the bay ? Meanwhile if I could unload them at no out of pocket and help some here get a deal everyone goes home happy.

Trouble is it didn't work out. Wish I'd gone to Rocklea earlier, or rang around. Oh well.

Don't get me started on that flamin accessories kit. It was right there, I held it in my hand at the wood show for $35! AND the guides fit my TRA001 AND the tra001 guide only kit was $39 and and !!! oh bother. I'm truly sore from kicking myself! I didn't know at the time if the guides would fit the TRA001 so I put it back. Sigh...

So if anyone sees the accessories kit cheap please let me know.

Bunnings Booval tomorrow to sort out my bits. And Cliff: say nothing!

By the way it's remarkable how much better the mof manual is compared to the tra001 manual. The TRA doesn't even have a weight as far as I can tell. The mof has a parts list in the back with all the part numbers, full specs everything...and colour...

There are four of the 1400W on the shelf at Bunnings Minchinbury.
Still priced at $287 on the shelf.
I just bought one for $99

I had to laugh! NSW seems to be waiting to start the great Triton sell off. My Bunnings also has them marked for $287 but .... and here's the rub ... the preprinted label has "$287, reduced from $288" ... I kid you not!

Fletty

Despite trying about six stores I've not been able to get one , theres no little triton left in the whole of victoria

lot of happy campers thanks to this thread including myself so thanks whaler and saw one on ebay today today starting price of 180 sold at buy now for 230

I've found another 3 routers at $99. Two are shrink-wrapped, and one is in its box but isn't shrink-wrapped.

I've offered them to:

pauly
RodP
Mog4

who expressed an interest in the last two I found. These went to Milar.

If these people don't want them, they'll be available for other forumites.
Same deal as last time. I'll sell them for $99 each, provided they go to forum members (and don't appear on e-Bay later...). Pick up from Glenbrook (or my workplace at Baulkham Hills if that's easier).

PM me if interested.

Picked up a 1400W router from Croydon Bunnings and they had one left on the top shelf, not sure if it is still there.

Pauly, PM sent.

I was way too late on this thread...I was looking to get a router too...

Northland Bunnies empty...
