Guys,

gettin all serious now. I did send a PM to Hennie addressing him in his mother tongue with some hints that may help. Basically around the issue of what the plunge lock lever possibly not being adjusted correctly. I have had this after my router was taken in for a switch replacement. I do however also agree with the issue of dust (especially MDF dust) being a cause of some loss of fine adjustment capability when mounted in the table.

Why don't you raise it with the moderator for the Triton section.....oh wait....that's me.

Hmmm..... guess I think that it has been answered as best as possible already, unless in servicing, the actual fault with the router is found, in which case we would all be interested. Otherwise, I guess I'll let this continue, as after all, this is a community......of strange individuals and not just a pose a problem and wait for a solution kind of place.

Sorry, I thought we were trying to solve Hennie's problem.

BTW for all and sundry, the website for Triton will be changing to www.triton.com.au (it already works). The old .net.au address was when Triton had to wait until the person who owned the .com.au address was prepared to sell it. A .net address is actually for network providers (such as optus, bigpond etc), even though they tend not to use the correct addressing either.

It's Tankstand's old avatar. He no longer uses it. I don't know why.

I still tend to assume that Tankstand is posting when I see it.

Conditioning I guess.

Well i think im being given some clues - evidently someone feels left out and wants to make sure nobody else has any fun either. if anyone is interested, PM me asking for their identities and i will forward them to you so you can deal out a reddie to them, as long as you send me a greenie as well to restore the damage. i will send you a greenie in return if possible.

really, some people should get a life of their own instead of interfering in every one elses, what s wrong with the appreciation of the finer things in life. its not a pic, the lady would be welcomed anywhere in the free workd dressed like that.

Thanks for the advice and PM's.

It's a good thing that you Aussies live on the other side of the World, doing all your chattering while I'm asleep so don't feel bad about the hijacked thread (Here in South Africa we're so used to being hijacked in any case, it's no big deal

Anyway, I spoke to our local Triton rep, and he confirmed that they've had a few cases like mine. Apparently there could be a problem with the worm screw being miss-aligned, or having a maximum tolerance screw in a minimum tolerance tube... He suggested that I return the router to the shop I purchased it from, and they will then send it to the South African repair centre for a warranty repair. He also impressed me by adding that if they can't solve the problem they will replace the router with a new one.

So, carry on chatting, guys

Hennie Landman

... and suddenly, this thread is quiet :confused:

I hope no one took offence with my previous post - It was meant to be funny, not serious. If I did offend, please accept my apologies

Anyway, if anyone is interested, I've just uploaded a photo of my current project, and you can see the raised panel doors which I made with the Triton router. The thread is here: http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...694#post167694

Hennie
Not offended by your previous post, us aussies can cop it on the chin .
I did see your post on the fish tank, very good work!!!!!!!! and I asked a question on the timber you used.

Getting back to the router problem. My mate a few doors down bought a Triton router the same time as I bought my Makita. I was p1#$$ed off. he got it for $399.00 and I paid $500.00. His router was everything you could have wanted, mine was lacking. His now has the same problem as Hennie's. We have pulled it apart, cleaned it, blown air through it etc, etc but still it sticks.
Have noted woodworker101 replies and advice and will check today. By the way I have given woodworker101 some greenies for copping it on the chin when not really deserved
