Problems with Triton Router TRA001
Hi all,
Well my reliable Triton Router TRA001 is now giving me big problems. I noticed this a few weeks ago that the height seemed to be slipping down. I have it mounted in a router table and it has never been out of that table.
When I try to use the fine adjustment height handle winder and wind it up, the router just slips back down again. Doing some research I was told it was likely to be the worm drive being worn. I happened to find a video on this exact model and found how to pull all this apart. I also found out there are a half dozen or so different sorts of worm drives in these models.
I pulled it apart, it was full of sawdust and gunk, cleaned it all, compressor blew all the dust and gunk out. All the cogs seems to be in good condition. Put it all back together again and still the same. The ratchet handle which usually grabs and holds it in place, just isnt grabbing it. Allowing it to slide all the way down.
I will now pull it all apart again tomorrow and see if I can work out the problem....................Any suggestions,.?
