Stuart, The 3 in one looks great but do you know if the Spindle Table can tilt & what the stoke distance of the spindle is...Triton Site doesn't mention either

Stuart,
I downloaded the Triton catalogue and this mentioned the universal work centre.

Hope the hardcopy version when it becomes available is waterproof (or at least drool-proof).

The 3-in-1 sander looks very similar to the unit recently introduced here by Timbecon. If it is from the same stable, the spindle table should tilt. Hopefully Triton/GMC will to the right thing with Quality Control.

Barry,
Is it a fact? They certainly look very similar. Here in Australia the Scheppach 8” is $499. Would love to see how much the orange one will cost.

Excuse my ignorance, but what would a "Universal Workstation" be?
Is it a fancy name for a tool stand?

Samples
I have samples of all of the above tools in the office here.
Can confirm some questions.
The 3 in 1 sander. Spindle does not tilt. Has variable speed, oscilating spindle which I haven't measured, but seems around 30mm. Don't quote me on this.
This baby is not a portable unit. Weighs around 60Kg, so once it has a home, it will stay there. Advantage of the weight is that it will stay where it is. Dust collection looks good, as it can be directed to each part of the sander individually.
As for the large thicknesser, I think it is a pressed steel infeed support. This model has electric height adjustment. THe one I saw was on a stand.
It looks like one of the advantages of the GMC takeover of Triton is the access to other mufacturers. At the German show, Sheppac had a blue steel cutter. Looks like a simple but effective arrangement for both companies and both groups of customers.
The 300mm band saw table tilts both ways, has variable speed and the stand is fairly mobile, thanks to a retracting handle. THe fence can be removed from anywhere on the table, without having to slide it off the end. Fence can be used on either side of the blade and looks to be well designed for clamping jigs and stop blocks to.

Can you send the thicknesser and spindle sander over - I think I need some intensive reviewing of this gear as well

Any news yet on a release date and RRP for the spindle sander combo?
I see there is a similar item on Timbecon's website but it is worth many coin, considering the price of a stand alone spindle sander.Now proudly sponsored by Binford Tools. Be sure to check out the Binford 6100 - available now at any good tool retailer.

And they're all so sexy in orange. One day soon my wife's going to see the credit card bill and I'm going to be a single man again. Has anyone else done the thicknesser-moulder thing before?

Wet & dry sharping system ???
this looks very much like the Tormek system. Has the same water tray, same jigs etc.
Is it just me tho, the triton one seems to be floating on air
