    Default Triton 9 1/4

    I'm sure this is probably been done to death but i'm in the market for a 9 1/4.

    But has anyone had any real issues with there saw...is buring out decause of awful windings etc. I know its heavier than most other 9 1/4" on the market
    but i like the way its designed. I want it for general work rather than upside down in Triton table.

    Correct, it's been done to death.

    Do a search and then just go and buy one.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Sinjin,
    when I sold the WC2000 I kept the Triton saw. It is a very good saw. Very good results when fitted with a good blade. I use a CMT 48 and a 36 tooth in mine and when slicing up sheets of ply the results are good. I then trim further on the table saw with 80 tooth blade. (CMT)
    Regards
    Les

    I heard today of someone fixing their saw (not necessaily Triton) to their kid's scooter, and using it as a lawn edger!

    (There is no way I'm condoning this BTW- just passing on something I heard)

    I have 2, one setup for the workcentre and one for handheld use. It is very well made, a little heavy so probably not the best choice if you plan to have just the one saw but otherwise very powerful, easy to adjust and accurate.

    I dont think you would ever regret getting one!
    You can never have enough planes, that is why Mr Stanley invented the 1/2s

    Having a run-in is pretty easy- just ask a question that requires a knowledgeable answer. If they don't know, they tend to fabricate something that sounds good (and tends to be wrong), and awaaayyy you go.

    No referring to any particular company here, if anyone wants to try to sue me for defamation.........

    It has more features than any other 235mm saw on the market. The best feature is the ability to adjust the bevel angle if required to provide a dead accurate 0 to 90deg setting. All other saws are relying on the accuracy of the manufacturing process. I even had an Hitachi saw that was not exactly 90deg at the zero setting and I had to file the channel out about 1mm.

    Eas of Depth adjustment is also excellent and easy with this saw and has easy access when mounted under bench when you don't have a height winder kit fitted

    At 2400w, it's at the top end of the power scale. When you consider that for 90% of the time it will be mounted in your workcentre, weight is not an issue and you want as much power as you can get.
