Are you still around Stu?

I was routing yesterday - got 10% through the job and the switch failed again - the router just stopped. This is the second time this has happened. The first time I...

Hello there,

Re the Triton Cross Cut Sled web page. I have had advice from Telstra that from the 30 September 2009 the Bigpond Webhosting facility I have been using will no longer be available. ...

Ancient thread but I'm getting ancient as well.

I just made Stuart's mod to my router table so that I can use the maxi extension with one end attached to the WS2000 and the other to the router...

Thanks for the info on the Time Life Books. I'd say that I've got them all, assuming that Heirloom Projects is the same as Gift Projects.

Sorry to have interrupted the thread.

Hey Barry, would you happen to know how many books are in the Time Life series? - I have received 18 so far and was just wondering how many you have - are they never ending.

Great books though.

The respirator let me down on the weekend. I had been sawing some MDF to make a bench top whilst wearing the repirator, but when I went to rout the edges my respirator failed to respond. I...

:) :)
Thanks for your replies and ideas. On the weekend I'll have a go at modifying my clamps.

Regards,

Bob J

I don't wish to put anyone off or lower the tone of this forum, but from personal experience, I suggest that you don't use the respirator with the air intake positioned in the centre of your back...

Has anyone out there in scrollers world retrofitted a tool less clamp onto a Makita?

I have no problems with the Makita apart from the frustrations of changing blades with the piddly little allen...

My one Bobs worth.

I use a Triton Respirator and it works like a charm. Just used it yesterday when using the saw. It is not uncomfortable and has ear muffs as well. It may seem a bit of an...

The respirator saga continues.

Still getting plenty of use, but I notice that as of late the tube just below where it attaches to the helmet kinks regularly restricting airflow. The soft plastic...

Thanks for your replies.

I have placed an order with MIK International and should have it in a couple of days.

Fellows, thanks for the info.

Had a look at the MIK web site, but couldn't see individual reducers in their online catalouge, so emailed them to see if they can help. Hope to hear from them...

I have just today received a gift of a set of 50 router bits from my daughter who is overseas. The only problem is that they have 8mm shanks and I have a Triton router with 12.7mm and 6.3mm...

In contact with Rob today. He has moved houses and should be back online soon.

Stewie,

I use mine on a very regular basis, sawing, routing, sanding and scroll sawing. I get so used to it that likewise it has become part of me. What I like about it is that I can still wear...

Tried Stewies mod to the hose and it is magic.

I had found that some times when I connected the hose to the pack (I do this with the pack at my side) and return the pack to the rear operational...

No so much as a problem with the planer attachment, but for me it was redundant when I bought a router/router table.

If you already have a planer and don't have a router I can appreciate why you...

I'd have to agree with bsrlee.

For what its worth, I have used my planer attachment once and that was to test it after I first set it up - I likewise use the router/router table set up to join...

Stuart,

Not a bad idea at all.

Just one question, and that is how do you ensure that the inner rail is precisely parallel with the router table when you are only relying on one bracket?

Or...

Thanks Peter for your response.

That's the track I'd been travelling down. Your mod looks great, and painted in goog old Telecom Gold too.

My stand is the newer one (RSA300), so there would...

Yes, you are right Barry, and that is certainly the Triton answer to the problem. The only problem is that I consider it a bit of a hassle and I am lazy, so I like alternate solutions.

So I am...

I know this is an old thread, but it is one that interests me.

Has anyone done any more work on using the ETA300 on the Router Stand? I'm about to build a storage unit and it would be nice to cut...

Thanks LisMaria for posting this info on the forum.

I can see what you mean about the restricted air flow through the bottom filter, and how the re-design would fix it. In fact I have just...

W C,

I have a similar problem with my system, but me thinks that my problem might be with the location of the circular indicating sticker on the flow meter.

If you look at Fig. 3 in the Flow...

Gumby, I had a similar problem and now only use the pressure finger on the protractor when ripping, and I don't use the mitre guage functionality at all.

Even though I adjusted the protractor in...

:confused:

Still impressed with the respirator, but disappointed by one small aspect. I find that the method of connection of the hose to the belt pack a bit ordinary.

I would have thought...

Magic.

I'd like to build something similar for my Triton router table. Have you thought of doing that as well?

My Triton router produces a mass of dust (especially when routing MDF) even...

My garage comes in at a little over 6 x 4, and to be honest I wish it was at least twice this size with a lot more headroom. Handling long lengths of timber or sheets, and timber storage are my...

I was a bit peeved at first that I could only vote for one item, when I felt that the height winder kit and sliding extension were both of my favourites, even though I use the height winder kit every...

Re biscuits:

I bought 200 size 5 biscuits for $15 from Specialised Joinery Supplies in North Hobart. They said that they were compatible with the Triton Biscuit Joiner.

I have been using mine to do absolutely everything where dust is involved.

It is magic with my scroll saw, and I was sanding this afternoon and I even forgot that I had it on.

When you see...

Rob,

BTW who is the authorised repairer in Sth Tassie?

Just come away from using my Triton Router to rout some picture frame slip moulding out of 19mm MDF (lots of super fine dust). When I changed my bit to a straight bit to create the rebate, the...

Sounds a good idea to me, so count me in.

Bob J :)

My dear wife destroyed my original orbital sander pad while trying to remove paint from an old door at the shack. She became a little too enthusiastic with a few stubborn spots and applied too much...

I have just set up a web page with details of my sled.

Let me know if anything is not clear or if you require any further information.
...

Re Stuart's suggestion of the two protactors - I tied it and it wasn't very successful.

I found that the short guides on the protractors that fit into the channels are simply too short and they...

After a lot of research, I have made a magic sled for my 2000 and it does a perfect job.

I will get a photo of it in a couple of days and put it on the forum.

Regards,

Bob J

Stuart,

I'm interested in your minor modification.

I had considered at one stage, mounting a piece of timber on to the side frame of the table and then mount a front and rear extension table...

Thanks for your replies.

I do have a sliding extension table and use it when I have a fair bit of work to do, and I'm very happy with the results. But my workshop space doesn't allow it to be up...

I know this must sound sacriligious, but I want to build a cross cut sled for my WC2000.

Often I just want to produce a perfect end to a piece of timber I've just ripped without having to...

Does anyone know who distributes Amana or Bosch router bits on the mainland - I can't seem to find a source in Tassie. Both of these companies manufacture a vertical raised panel bit that may...

Thanks for your replies and concerns. I take it all onboard. I'll have to locate a suitable vertical raised panel bit and then build a jig to support the work piece. I'll let you know how I go.

Re the router bit:

I acknowledge your concerns. I would prefer to use a vertical Raised Panel Bit, but I have yet to find the right cove profile that meets my specific needs.
