    Default Triton router

    My triton router wouldn't start this morning,
    changed the fuse = not that.
    Tried to undo the switch cover end,+ wouldn't come apart.
    Telephoned British agent= engaged on the other line.
    Thought whilst I was waiting for return call I would undo the 3 pin electric plug (that goes in the wall socket)
    VOILA=
    screw holding negative lead to terminal not connecting.

    However, how come this connection screw was so undone, it reminds me of the old British Leyland days, when some of the factory staff used to get up to some of those tricks :eek:

    Anyway if your router stops check the terminals.

    i normally get this on products from the States where the UK supplier has chopped the moulded plug and put the a 3 pin one on by hand, reminded me of my youth when i did my electronics training and the instructor kept us in the workshop for hours wiring 13 amp plugs the correct way with the earth a cm longer then the neutral and Live wires )

    While we are on a Router thread i have a quick daft question, i upgraded to the Triton Router when it first came out, however all my Bits are 1/4, i have the collect adaptor fiited, i now have some 1/2 inch bits, can't seem to find a colllet if it supplied and there is no indication in the leaflet of one to be used. Have i lost it or do you not use one in the the Router, i alos have some 1/8 bits is there a collet avialble for these?

    On my router the 1/4" collet fits inside the 1/2" collet already there in the router.

    No separate collet required for 1/2 inch bits. It goes straight in.........
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
