    Default Which Triton Router to buy?

    I've read as much as possible about the TRA001 and MOF001 and all the indications point to the the MOF as being the better router for my use. As part of my 2nd hand buying spree I've ended up with a super cheap 2000 biscuit cutter table (which is the same as the router table minus the ruler as far as I can tell) and the accompanying holder which I plan to use as the router table. I'm also wanting to use hand held a fair bit for things like mortises, corners, planing (as I'm not in a position to buy a dedicated one), speaker holes and other cutouts....

    Now here's the hard part. These routers cost basically the same $! So my big question: is the TRA001 that much more unwieldy for hand use (do I need Hulk muscles to use it!) that the power to dollars ratio is irrelevant and I should get the smaller machine? The decision would have been so much easier if the MOF was a fair bit cheaper.

    I would recommend the MOF. I have the bigger one for table use but I couldn't use it for handheld, I gave myself tennis elbow with a similar sized router years ago and still suffer. I now use a small Makita for handheld use.

    Thanks. I'm slowly moving to that decision!
