Triton question from a newbie
Hi, I just moved a rarely used Triton 2000 workcentre with a Triton TSA001 saw. As I was putting the table back on, with the saw already in place, a small metal donut fell out and broke on the concrete floor.
The donut is about 7mm thick, with a one inch diameter in a dark metal similar to a magnet, but it doesn't appear to be magnetic.
I don't know whether it came out of the saw or the bench, but both look intact and unchanged. Does anybody know what this might be, whether it is important and how I'd replace it.
I live in Canberra.

It could be part of the cam lock lever assembly (WCA342), shown here. That's the best I can do at the moment (I'm on vacation, so not at home). I can't think of any part on the saw that fits your description. HTH

Hmm
I'm starting to think this thing has nothing to do with the bench or the saw - they appear completely intact and working. I guess it came from elsewhere and happened to be on the table without me seeing it....

Sounds like a ferrite core often used to filter high frequency noise in electronics. It may have fallen off something else.
The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.

My rather late response is that I have the same setup as you and it does not look like part of it. I would just forget it. I have not looked at my setup but I would remember anything like that in a position where it could come loose and fall off. It works. All is good.
