    Default Triton TR001 with broken housing

    My old big Triton router had a stuck router bit, done up too tight, and the housing around the stop cracked as I tried to loosen it. Ended u getting the bit out by using monkey wrench on the main shaft and spanner on nut both with extensions for leverage. I thought the cracked housing may be ok but looks like a bearing has now come loose as the shaft wobbles.

    The local repairer says it would be after Xmas before he could get to it, and that is if he can get a new housing, and cost unknown.

    So, maybe just a slim chance, but has anyone got an old router that doesn't work anymore but housing Ok I can buy?

    I would have thought that with all the complaints on here about faulty Tritons you would be overwhelmed with offers with people just wanting to get rid of them.

    Another option is to buy this one:
    TRITON TRA001 1/2" PLUNGE ROUTER | Power Tools | Gumtree Australia Burnside Area - Kensington Park | 1234489658

    You would have to add postage but then you have spare parts and I suspect not much more cost than repairing your current one.
