Hi commoo.
Here is a link to the Triton homepage ,you will be able to download instruction manuals and spare parts manuals by following the links onthe individual product pages.
http://www.triton.com.au/retailer.php

I just ordered some spares for my router table today direct from Triton ( GMC) by calling the 1300 hotline number ,then following the prompts on the phone message machine .I was on hold for a while but it was worth the wait..The guy I spoke to was Mark and he was very helpful.I had the spares print out in front of me when I was identify parts so it made it easier.

Telephone: 03 9584 6977
Facsimile: 03 9584 5510
Hotline: 1300 655 686 (for all other Australian states outside Vic )


Spares are also available through a number of retailers like Bunnings,M10 etc , but you may have to order and wait.
Hope this helps

Cheers

I hope it was cheap

Hi Commoo,
I am sure I have a near new MK3 owners manual somewhere at home. If you are interested let me know and I will have a look for it when I return in a couple of weeks. I also have a couple of blade gaurds with brackets and an adapter I made to fit a 2000 series protractor onto a MK3.
All the best with the Triton it can be great fun.

Triton stopped making spare parts last year but maybe they have some left, and like Gumby - I too hope you got it cheap...

$90 with 184mm ryobi saw

I personally would prefer to buy a mk3 over the newer ones, the simple box shapes allows quick alterations or modifications as reqd. Also mk3's can be obtained from 50-150 bucks compared to 400. Value for dollar they win hands down

So I gather you dont like the mk3 units mate, post up a pic of your unit then if your so happy with it, heres a pic of mine, which houses a router, circ saw, and jigsaw and the good old fashion solid extension fence

The fence on the WC2K whups the Mk3 one hands down! But apart from that, and the "EZ-fold" legs of the WC2K, I preferred the Mk3 too.

However, for those two things alone the WC2K wins...

Nice setup you have there though, Simso, but I gather you don't rip long lengths on it? Or does the DC/ductwork travel with it so you can roll it all into the middle of the shop?

Yeh the dust extractor moves with it all, its all fitted together on wheels I can rip widths up to 2100mm wide and lengths of whatever as I just have to move the unit forward or lift the roller door up. I set my unit up at this position for that exact reason, when I cut doors down for friends we just remote the door up and feed them through. If I had used the later model units firstly its not as easy to mount as these are and secondly would have started the build price at 1500 just for the workcentres without the tools extension tables ect

Steve , your setup is very good and i don't wish to sound like i was putting you down , HOWEVER, the WC2000 is streets ahead of the Mk3.

I don't have mine anymore. I sold all my triton gear in favour of a dedicated TS but I did have a big involvement with the Triton Woodworkers Club in Holmesglen as assistant Editor of the newsletter and defacto President for 12 months. I support triton regularly on these forums.

Your comparison wasn't entirely fair either. You can buy a good WC2000 on ebay for a lot less than $400 and I have recommended that path to many new people on here.

cheers,
Gumb
