Thread: triton MOF001switch problems

Unless you can remove the exiting switch and search around to see if there is a generic one, you will probably have to go with one of these. Because the sliding plastic window is part of the safety system you won't be able to just put a toggle switch in without doing other work that will disable the interlock. Both sides of generic rocker switches rise the same amount when on or off, whereas the Triton switch seems to be flat when in the off position so the window can slide past it.
If you are going to get someone to do the repair you would probably be better off buying the switch yourself and supplying it with the Router when you take it in. You could try Carbatec now that they are the agent again and say they will support the brand.

I had the older TRO001, and there was a defect in not dust constantly getting into the switch, I think later models had a dust cover

not sure whether is got a dustcover or not
thanks so far -
no one round melbourne does these kind of repair? Im down Frankston area - 20 mins from dande south - be handy to know of someone down this way who does small machine repairs

I have the switch assembly for the big Triton, but didn’t replace it, just used a similar rocker switch from Jaycar. Of course this disables the interlock which isolates the motor when the spindle is locked for bit changes. I unplug the router for bit changes anyway.

Mine has lived in a table from new, and has cut many kilometres of mdf so has suffered dust ingress everywhere. As such I have formed a relationship with Tool Spares Online. TRITON

Fast shipping for parts, good prices

Ok good one Greg thanks.
Not sure about replacing the switch myself if its not a direct drop in. But the one on the triton spares sites looks to be a drop in replacement.

Like you I always mostly anyway unplug the router for bit changes
