Thread: Triton thicknesser

Parts for the older thicknessers are almost impossible to get. I purchased some from the EBay store below last year, they came packaged as GMC but were identical to Triton blades

These guys operate from a shop power tool/auto electrical repair shop in Victoria (bairnsdale I think) which you can ring direct. Unfortunately I cannot recall their shop name however if you do a forum search on triton spares you should find them, I am sure they have been mentioned here before.

Good luck

Thanks Andyd, I will start tracking them down.

Their shopfront used to be Bairnsdale Electrics and they were Triton warranty agents when Triton was Aussie based. The acquired most of the parts and a lot of the tools when Triton/GMC folded, and seem to have had ongoing access to Triton product since.

There are two Triton Thickies, a 13 inch and a 15 inch thicky/moulder. The 15 inch unit is available via Grizzly in US who can supply the blades, but I think they are reluctant to ship single sets to AU. You might be able to get them delivered to a US address and forwarded on however.

Same as this model?

Grizzly will ship to AU, but you are looking at $110 for 1 set! ($50+ shipping).

These guys seem a bit strange the way they advertise on Ebay. Sometimes they have a whole batch of items listed, and other times they have nothing. At the moment they have nothing.
I have brought the GMC blades from them which also fit the Ryobi AK13. I brought one set for myself and then a friend wanted a set. I had to wait a couple of months before they were advertised again, but at least I got them.
I found this listing on Ebay which may be of some help if they are the right ones. I am not familiar with the Triton blades.

This mob sells blades (assuming you have the same model) but shipping can be pricey.

I noticed that on page 54 of the Carbitool catalogue that they will make special sizes of solid carbide planer knives. Might be worth a call to see if they can help.
