Saw for Triton WC

I bought a Triton WC a couple of months ago, and have been using an old Ryobi Saw which I had to borrow when ever I wanted to use the WC. I have now been given permission from the wife to purchase a new saw as I have been instructed to build some more things around the house such as a pergola, garden beds and furniture for the house. I was after advice as the best saw to buy. Although the trition saw is a bit above my budget, is it worth spending that extra? Do the benefits outweigh the cons with the trition saw? And what saw blades are recommended? I am a complete novice with such things and not the best woodworker, but i enjoy trying to build and successfully built a great kiddy table for my daughter with a request for more from family memebers for the neices.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Get the Triton and also treat yourself to the height winding kit. If you need a freehand saw borrow the Ryobi.

Show us a piccy of the kiddy table.

When I bought the WC I bought the kit from Bunnings that had the wheels and hieght winding kit included and I must say that I think it is a must have.

Ok let's see..........it has to fit the table without a lot of stuffing around, it has to give the best cutting height possible, it has to be accurate, it shouldn't have any saw slump, it has to have plenty of power, it has to be good quality and it has to be orange(to match the WC).......hmmm

I'll give it some thought and get back to you..............
:p :D :D :D :D :rolleyes:

I third the motion for the triton. I bought a like makita to run in the workcentre. The second job I did needed the additional cutting capacity of the triton.

Do it and you won't regret it. I use the triton Triple chip blades too. They work really well.

Think of the long term and many less hassels - buy a Triton saw.
(Just look at the many previous problem posts from people who haven't used Triton saws).

Also, do you have a Mega Mitre 10 in Sydney?

Here in Adelaide we have Bunnings and Mega Mitre 10. Both say they will beat their competitior's price by 10%. So take the cheapest price you can find to the competitor's store and you get the discount! At around a $30 saving on what should have been a good price - it's worth the mucking around.
