Thanks a lot for for your comprehensive info CHJ. I knew I read this information somewhere about 10 yr ago, and you have filled in all the blanks.

My router is a very tired Hitachi M12V, and it is...

Here is a post I submitted to the accident survey at the Woodworkers Central. It does refer to an industrial sander where the safety features would not allow the machine to run if any of the panels...

Sorry about the crap title and the slight off topic question.

I was just about to put in a copper foil backed mirror into a frame I made for it, to be horrified that it had a few small scrapes of...

I do all of my panel jointing with a reverse glue joint bit.

I find it a lot easier and quicker than biscuits.

The bit I use is at the following.

I have just used Scottish Ash for my new kitchen and I thought I should maybe mention its caveats.

Using 40mm X 650 deep made up of two planks made a stunning job, but I found out two things about...

Thanks for the info guys. :)

The cutters I have are not branded on the shanks. They were not cheap at about £100 for the set (10 yr ago), but they certainly are not as good (I think) as my CMT...

OK, this might seem like a silly question.

It has been a while since I have used my rail and stile cutter set. The last time I used it my routers variable speed worked so no problem.

However,...

This is just MY opinion....

I have been using my Triton WC, saw, router table and planer attachment now for 5 months, using it to renovate my house. The biggest project being the kitchen.
I can...

I feel that I need to add my tuppence worth on the merits of the planer attachment.

Like some of you have mentioned, you feel that the attachment is perhaps a bad design as it has a tendency to be...

I have detailed my problems in other posts, but suffice to say, that even after some impressive after sales service as far as prompt action is concerned, I have two sets of ruler arms where the...

I too also had to shell out yet more money for a new power planer for the attachment as my old planer had a weird handle and holes that were not suitable. Initially I was a bit miffed by this, but...

I am also one of the few that is happy with the attachment. It is a regular part of my cutting process. I cut to size + 1-2mm, lower the saw, swing up the attachment and dress to the exact size. I...

When I bought my Triton gear I included the router table and the planer attachment in the same order, purely because I had a fair idea what I was going to use it for.
I find myself using all of it...

The stuff I am using is called Liberon Finishing Oil.
I suspect that if you can get Rustins Danish oil then you can get this.

It says that it is 'Safe for toys' and is ideal for kitchen worktops,...

What is that method Soundman?

The worktops I mentioned I was sanding were 650mm wide made of two laminated planks. The source I bought the wood from were asked to dress it to 40mm but it was...

You could do an experiment and let one child eat from the table and the other from a plate every time they come around. When they are about 30yrs old do an assessment on any obvious personality...

Sorry to deviate a wee bit away from the subject of this thread, but since we are on the subject of the differences between cheaper sanders, here goes....

I can understand that more expensive...

Drool on this

The tool featured is a particularily good one(expensive)

Also, when you have to buy other accessories, especially spindle moulder cutter sets, appropriate extraction etc, we are...

I only ever did the work on good days in the summer. It was not my living so I was not too bothered by it. I put a good sized tarp on the ground to catch the sawdust, and kept another one handy if...

Triton V nothing at all
Hiya Shannon,

I've worked in a few woodworking shops in my life, one tooled up with super, money no object scribing panel saws, spindle moulders and 4 edge planers. All...

There is nothing worse.

The thing that puzzles me is how two sanders fitted with the same paper, like the sanders I have can give different results.

The cheap one makes a mess and the other...

Just as a wee follow up on the finished job.

I finally painted the doors with an extra hard emulsion. On testing its hardness by scratching and scuffing, I found that the paint did not chip but it...

I had problems with getting rid of burn marks from the rounded inset corners of a ceramic sink cutout. I just could not get in with a profile sander or by hand.
Just by luck I stumbled on a set of...

Hiya Shannon,

I've worked in a few woodworking shops in my life, one tooled up with super, money no object scribing panel saws, spindle moulders and 4 edge planers. All were a joy to use, needed...

Silent C,

Your case underlines my point.
I have only had my WorkCentre for a few months and have only ever inserted and removed the fence (as you do), cut up about a dozen sheets of MDF and a few...

It is not really anything to do with the calibration of the table. More to do with that the arms seem to be missing a finish.

As I said in the original post, you can scrape the black paint off...

Has anyone had a problem with the scales on the ruler arms of the fence wearing out?

I have only used the workbench for a few hours, ripping MDF sheets and some Ash, but the scales have sections...

The man from Triton has looked at my saw.

At first he was not convinced that there was something wrong with it. As mentioned, the problem is a bit subtle.
It was not until he compared it to an...

Thanks for all of your replies.
A triton rep is actually coming out to visit me and to view the saw (the second replacement saw) and so I will let you know of the diagnosis result. God, I hope it...

My replacement saw arrived today. My supplier is to be commended for a speedy replacement. (well done Taylor Bros of Liverpool, my faith in buying over the NET restored)


BUT...The new saw...

I do not think it is the blade. Other than it does not look warped as it slows to a stop, it would be vibrating all of the time if it was.

The vibration feels like oscillation maybe something...

I have just used my new Triton power saw, but there is one worry I have with it.

On start up and under load there is a definate vabration that seems to be coming from the motor housing. It is...

OK then, so you need more proof eh?

What about:
I like marmalade, deep fried Mars Bars, have seen Braveheart 14 times (I had to watch it this many times to get used to the travesty of our 7 foot...

It is my Wife who is afraid for me to spend money, and in the last month, with me buying this Triton gear, she has been absolutely terrified. :D

I am...I am...honest I am!
I like haggis, whisky,...

Being an ex wood machinist, I am almost certain that it is impossible to eliminate chipping when cutting melamine using a single sawblade. This after all is the reason for the design of a scribing...

Sorry Stuart, but you were not quick enough in your reply.:rolleyes:

I had just came back from the hardware shop with my dimmer switch and was out setting it up in the workshop when you replied....

Thanks for the reply guys.

Since I do not know of any panel beaters and also cos it sounds expensive, I am going to try an alternative. I can imagine this would create a great finish though.

I...

Danish oil is mentioned quite a lot in the info I have found as the stuff to use to maintain the worktop.
I suppose it makes sense that this is what is used as the primary application, and it is...

I am just about to make my first ASH kitchen worktop.

What is the best oil to use and what is the technique to apply it?

Basic stuff I know, but the wood is costing a bit and I want to get it...

Actually, I exagerated a wee bit.

I have just moved house that happens to have great potential for the workshop I have always wanted. So I went on a wee spree and spent about £900 all in for other...

Driver,
The router I have is a Hitachi M12V with a broken variable speed. I have removed the variable speed switch so it is essentialy a single speed. As long as I brace myself when I start, it's...

This looks like the very thing Peter. Thanks for your effort.

I have noticed many good things about Triton equipment on this forum. Please read my post 'Oh no, what have I done'. I am feeling a...

I realise that this question may be a common one, but I am a newbie so please bear with me.

I am just about to get started on a new kitchen and will be making the doors out of MDF. What is the...

I am just curious.
I have just invested a good amount of money in Triton equipment, because in 1982 when I was an apprentice joiner(yes we had apprenticships at that time) I was so impressed by the...

My old planer is a B&D professional. It was/is a very good planer but it does not have the required holes at the front and the handle is a bit wierd, hence the planer atachment handle grip assembly...

It is the 2000. I am a totally new Triton user.
Is this stand you speak of another Triton accessory?

I have used the planer attachment and the results were quite good, so I will probably...

Ok, so I have bought the 2000 workbench, router table, planer attachment, dust extraction and it does not look like much for my £900 outlay. I have had to buy a new planer and have just ordered the...

I have a Hitachi M12V with a broken variable speed switch. After being quoted £75 for a replacement switch (a third of the price of a new router) I decided to investigate the use of a...

I too have spent 5 hours assembling/setting the planer attachment. After much gnashing of teeth and a new planer purchase (my B&D Pro did not fit) I finally got the thing going only to immediately...
