Bzzzzz! Wrong! You should have used your lifeline.....

It is in fact hard evidence that apes evolved from Bush ancestry. We should have only looked sooner at Dubbya's family album to see the...

Which model Makita is it? I'm using the 3612 in my RTA300 and I get full blade height. Check that your depth stops aren't in the way, I think I removed or unscrewed the shortest stop so the motor...

Actually I find Triton a little backward in this area too. I was told the same thing about their having no plans to convert the training video to DVD once, now it's on DVD, well most of it that's...

For a little more than $150 (approx $199 in Bunnings) you can get the RDC100 or similar:

The depth of cut might be the major factor from what I can see. If it had the full depth of the 2000 with a 9 1/4 blade and I was starting again I probably would have gone for one myself over the...

Ahh but there's nothing like a virgin setup, untouched by others. You can marry that orange knowing you're the first to try her out.

:)

Great feedback there guys, it does sound too limiting for most people with bigger intentions. I guess Hills want the saw to be one half of the tubing package deal so people can follow their project...

Thanks Interwood, looking forward to your report on the pricing.
Maybe we'll see the tubes in Bunnings in the new year, probably too new to have gotten around as yet.

Yes it does look and sound safe enough, not sure if I can justify the price though. Might have to stick to the trusty hacksaw for a while yet.
I like the idea of the tubing and the projects they...

Anyone here got the Triton steel cutter yet? I haven't seen it in my neck of the woods and was wondering what the going price is on one of these and also what the steel tubing per length costs as...

I never use the fence to bevel so I don't know what the result would be. The paper fix has lasted since I did it months ago and yes they slide in under the red plastic thingies, I didn't need much...

Thanks guys, good to know.
I'm chasing one of these before the year is out.
Got some more grovelling to do until then. ;)

I found my fence was a little out as well, what I did to fix this was insert a bit of paper between the fence's scale arm joints to pack it out a bit, this helped to tilt the fence forward enough to...

So once the extension is attached it prevents access to the 2000's fence arm guides? I was hoping you could still slide it in if you just needed to do a quick rip of a small piece.

Having seen some demonstrations of the sliding extension table I never noted or asked if the 2000's own fence can still be used while the extension is attached. Is this possible or does the extension...

Go for the silicon spray as a lubricant, far less of a messy residue and I haven't seen rust develop from these either. I use silicon on the lathe and Triton gear all the time.

Sorry for not getting back on this topic. Had to do a reinstall and just got going again. Will add the rest of the links to the pdf's as soon as I've reloaded all my software. If you think the 2000...

Another thing, I can make a utility that will list all the pdf files and launch them as well. So you won't always need access to the forum or a webpage to find them. Once the webpage is finished I...

Well seeing as I put some time into it then I don't mind finishing the job off.
I have some of the pdf's on my drive as well but they get lost or I forget about them and redownload anyway so a...

Bugger so you have. Maybe you should post the link as a sticky note in the forum. Not much point in my reinventing the wheel I guess.

Added some of the links to the PDF files and reorganised the 'lesser' MK3. :p
Hit refresh on your browser if the old page is displayed.

Bunnings, don't get me started on them. My store...

Thanks Sturdee, just need some of the other items sorted now. Any takers?

Ok I can probably figure out most of the items pricewise but with some things I won't know where they would go in the order. Hmmm, bit like the 'price is right', maybe I will win a new car......come...

Had a muck around with it. Links to the respective pdf files not working as yet. If it's on the right track I'll finish it over the weekend. I wasn't sure if adding superseded models was worthwhile...

Personally I can't stand the way a lot of magazines insist on continuing articles half way through the mag, just start it and finish it on the next page I say.

There wasn't a 'Have read it once' so I put 'Occasional'
Might be worth adding?

Ok spot the typo and win.
;)

It doesn't look like they changed anything except that the rings and plate they sent me now let the rings sit flush. Well *almost* flush, there's a tiny amount sitting proud but it flattens down as...

Got my replacement router plate and new set of rings from Triton today (finally) and it fixed my previous problem where I couldn't get the wood to pass over the insert rings without hitting them and...

Maybe your locking arm needs to come up more so it can tighten the saw properly when pressed. I found mine was too far down too apply enough pressure when it came out of the package, just pull the...

I forgot to add:
I used the ducting that came with the Triton dust bucket to connect the DC connector to plus the one that came with the Router table.
The 100mm to 35mm 3-way connector looks like a...

I picked up the GMC extractor today and was fully expecting to have to do some mods to my table and workcentre guards but luckily the thing comes with three adapters. 1 x 100mm to 35mm outlet, 1 x...

Thanks Sturdee. It certainly looks a viable option. I won't rule out getting one after all.

Wayne thanks for the info, much appreciated. Don't quite know how to make the ports bigger on the workcentre or router table without taking away the original guards. Not something I want to mess with.

Echnidna
That was the advertised price. Didn't suggest there was a special on.
So do you guys think it might be of no use if having to reduce the pipe to fit the workcentre? Big bummer.
I thought...

Seen one of these at Bunnings for $199 last week....

You just need to use scare tactics:
If you can't get the tool you need, then you have to get a tradesman in to do the job(s) and the cost will impact on further fashion accessories.

;)

I should have asked the size before jumping in.
Yeah sometimes it just isn't worth buying the wood when you can source something like that. Good one.

nah you're totally off the mark Ozwinner, it's an Irish thing, look:

Please don't judge the replies in this thread as indicative of the generally excellent user-support that can be found elsewhere in the Triton forum, if it does tick you off then an email...

I've had no problems using the workcentre as a thicknesser.
No doubt it would work ok on larger stock as per the instructions for turning the piece over.

Great work!
It's pics like these that help pursuade the battle axe I need to get in a new piece of orange too!
"Look honey, this is what I can make you, I just need that other Triton accessory...."...

Nice one. I think that will be my next piece of orange in my collection as well.
I started off with the dust bucket first as I wanted to stop the dirt getting into my vaccum cleaner attached to the...

Ahh that's better.
Now make us a cuppa tea....
<runs>
:D

Someone turn on the lights.....
:)

Ditto what everyone else has said. I had a 184mm saw when I first bought the workcentre too, it's way too small. I bought the Triton saw and it certainly makes setting it up to zero better than with...

At long last, Triton are sending out a new router plate and rings, they were a bit reluctant over my probem as they still maintain the rings are designed to be a bit proud of the plate. Maybe so if...

I scratched quite hard on mine to rub one of the index's off, it only partially removed it. You might be unfortunate in getting 2 of a bad run maybe, it happens, especially Friday arvo knockoff jobs....

From Triton's faq page:

"Always switch on the power with the sander against your work surface. Starting the sander in mid-air will speed it up too much, and could gouge your work or damage the...

I took it to mean that as you were pushing your wood across the table you were experiencing the scales rubbing off as well, my mistake.
It shouldn't rub off that easily, well they don't on mine at...
