An alternate solution for anyone with a similar issue, is the Router Raiser from Professional Woodworkers Supplies.
It is designed to be an improvement to the microadjuster, provides through-the-table height adjustment, and the bonus here is it bypasses the Triton Microadjuster altogether.

That may be so, but if you remove the spring before assembly, you can never use the router as a plunge router again. If you don't remove the spring, it's harder to lift the router.
As the review states: "There are two locking spring clamps fitted to the Router Raiser main shaft to hold the spring in place that are destroyed if removed. It's either in, or out - not both."
I understand the principles involved but I wouldn't do it to any of my TRA routers.

It's here, Aussie. For completeness, here's another review of it being fitted to another router brand.
I'm aware why you offered it, Stuart, but your wording suggested, to me at any rate, that it was the answer to everyone's prayers. That's not quite the case, as my reply pointed out, but that doesn't make it a non-starter, nor did I suggest it did.
I've never had any major problems with my TRA routers, although I recognised early on that the plastic worm gear - which wore on mine due to not removing the plunge spring - was a shear point if the mechanism was overloaded. This was the main reason behind the dismantling page I produced a while back.
The Router Raizer will certainly overcome such problems, but I felt it pertinent to point out that - in some cases - it would restrict the use of the modified machine, that's all. If that caused offence, I apologise.
Ray.

I managed to find all spare parts I need here in Australia. Most happy . I have tried to log on the the WWForum but the system times out all the time. Makes it vary hard to participate and to respond.
Special - Thanks to Ray, Stuart and the guys at http://autoelec.com.au
Thanks again without you guys life would be much more frustrating then logging on to this forum (Technical issues maybe band width - Although I have fast broad band. This is the only site I experience such difficulty - Works well when not logged in - Spyware I think is the issue - firewall's do not like it)
