Thread: In-table router

What spares might you need?

For above-the-table height adjustment and bit-changing, have a look here and here.

I am uncertain as to what repairs are necessary or possible. I am just considering alternatives to the Triton if delay to repair is too protracted. I make a lot of bit changes and particularly want to be able to change bits above the table. The only practical alternative may be a collet extender but I have no experience of these.
Freud routers are not available in Australia to best of my knowledge.

I tried to order spares for my Triton TRA001 router last week ,I was looking for some brushes , a new 1/2 x 1/4" collet and the black plastic cover for the top of the motor.
( mine fell from the table while trying to undo the collet nut).
I was told by the munchkin at GMC that they cant get spares until the GMC administration deal is finished ,about two weeks he said all should be finalised.

I can imagine the "sinking feeling" as the tool was falling - knowing what was going to happen but not able to do anything - DAMHIK

Kev, if I could suggest the following, one of my more lucid moments, has proven to be a great assistant to me.

PS I guess it could have been worse.

Q "Ever seen a belt sander turned on at the wall but the trigger was locked on?"

As it was not my sander I could see the funny side but only after making the appropriate noises to the owner.

Hello. After reading comments on these forums I was all set up to buy the TRA001. Is there something going on with trition that should make me reconsider and go with another brand? If all is ok with Triton I am also wondering what Table insert Plate will work well with it. Proper bolt hole positions, etc.

My understanding is that GMC purchased Triton and GMC are now in receivership. The ongoing availability of Triton products and spare parts is uncertain. It is to be hoped that the receiver will get the GMC/Triton business up and running again and we can all relax. There is widespread agreement that the Triton TRA001router is an excellent choice for in table use.
"Woodpecker" supply both aluminium and phenolic router table plates that are pre-drilled for Triton.
