    Default Triton WorkCentre 2000

    Hi

    I have read some of the comments here and have watched a few simple videos on this product.

    What is the market price for one of these and what attachments would you deem essential.

    I have watched a U-Tube video and one from the Triton site however does anyone else know of a good video going around which demonstrates the features of this product.

    Many thanks

    Essential attachments? None, mate. None. Except, maybe, for the dust collection bag and even then a bit of ingenuity could replace it with something better. Assuming that you have the Triton CS to go with the table, you don't need the height winder or saw stabiliser either.

    Hmmm... the router adapter is a nice accessory, but IMHO you're better off building (or buying) a dedicated table to save swapping between modes.

    Talking about swapping between modes, an essential jig is a crosscut sled. Plenty of rerferences in these forums about building your own and it makes life a lot easier.

    What else is there? The bevel ripping guide is handy but barely essential. The planer attachment is, IMHO, just a gizmo. The biscuitter is another handy doodad, but I ended up throwing the bolt-on part into storage and simply use their router bit on my router table with my normal fence.

    The finger jointer and jigsaw attachments? Well... I've never tried the finger jointer, it might be a handy thing, but given a bandsaw and/or a scrollsaw I can't see any use for the jigsaw attachment.

    Ooh! OK, extension tables... sliding or otherwise. And/or the in/outfeed stands. Maybe not essential, but so handy that they should be! (I knew I'd find something if I prodded the ol' grey matter for long enough... )
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    The 2000 really benefits from the height winder, no matter what saw you put in it. The Triton 235mm saw is one of the best, and works with all the adjustment gadgets. Next would be the wheels (which come in some sets as part of the deal) and then the sliding extension table setup. The bevel ripping guide is so-so - handy if you are doing a lot of compound cuts but very optional.

    A lot of the other stuff Skew talks about is really for the router table top - you are better off getting the separate stand & legs for this - I lasted for nearly a year without & it s P.I.T.A.

    Dust collection depends on where you are working - out in the backyard you can top drass the lawn with wooddust, in a garage with a door to the house you will want the lot.

    For market prices for new, try Just Tools. Also wander around Bunnings. There are often Workcentre 2000s for sale on eBay. I think that if you are buying new, and putting a good saw in, you need to think in terms of $750-$1000 all up, depending on the saw and the attachments.

    BTW I reckon it's worth having the wheel set.

    Thanks heaps guys, the Triton lools like a fairly good setup for the price and for a beginner.

    Have only read postive things about the company and its products which is a good sign.

    Anyone have the WC2000 in Perth and if so, where did you get it from?
