Thanks Bsrlee - I discovered that the distributor did not send me the parts for a Triton - parts are on the way I am told. I hope before Christmas

I modified the above table guard to take 4" pipe

Just about to start install the router Raizer to my Triton router(the big beast) and discovered I am missing two parts - #5 Red Rollpins(2) and #45 Black Nylon washer. What is the size of the...

If you search through the list you will find many ideas such as these I made copying others and they work.

I stole Studee's idea but used the Triton fence

It is - the B signifies that it is for the British market as opposed to the A for the Australian market.

Each time I use the BRG, which is not often, I do 4 or 5 practice cuts until I am happy with the results. The BRG frightens the hell out of me as your fingers are with the 250mm (10") danger...

Al sorry for the delay in replying but I have been in Paris . I just butchered the Triton saw guard to fit the 4" pipe

Al you have to play with the blastgates when you have both above table and below table collection as there are two competing forces. I have run 4" to both top and bottom. During cutting the...

Pwill thanks for that - I got worried about the airflow to the router from comments on the Triton section so I drilled a number of 25mm holes in the perspex and left a gap abound the edge. I use a...

Sorry I just looked at the pictures. I to have built a "Norm" type table but ran a seperate extraction pipe to the fence rather than to the cupboard below the table. Your table got me thinking as I...

Pwill how is the above table dust extraction working - it looks like this goes to the below the table and not directly to the extractor? You will need a cover with holes in it in the front where the...

Terry Gumby's advice is very good but you have to note where he assembled it - don't do it in the workshop unless you can view the video there. It is essential for an easy install to do it in front...

Outsider please let us know how you get on. I to have watched this demo twice and could not make up my mind if I needed one. I have a Triton Super Jaws and have got so used to using it. The Zyliss...

Don't think buy Triton. Its the best router I have owned.

Just for the Triton people prior to the GMC era.
I talked to a former Triton Manager from the UK who said that during the Triton era that on average most products were 12 months late from the stated...

I got the Dewalt DW056 with 98 feet pounds - the best screw in town
Bought it when I had about 300 screws to put into hardwood - no pilot holes just screw.
Barry

Bill as HiString says its nearly impossilbe to get the seperate bits and far cheaper to butcher a dust extractor. In the UK the biggest impellor is 13.5" and 3HP motors is the largest I can find...

Al B you are a glutton for punishment I just go down to the aircon distributor
Well done it must have taken you some time

Harry I changed to plastic bags from the cloth ones. I have seen an improvement from the filter version and the two plastic bags to my existing system - I cannot detect any drop in suction with the...

Wongo with the prices you get back from selling the WC on Ebay makes it is valuable experience learning on the Triton and then you will know exactly what table saw you want. You waste very little...

Ironwood - I hope you are up and about soon and back to your cyclone. Don't want you getting cyclone withdrawal symptoms
Barry

Gumby I used two sheets of birch ply and went about marking my design on them so when I glued and screwed them together I would not hit any screws. I then laminated both sides - it turned out very...

No it's 5mm there was a production error and a batch had the total wrong collet so no 1/4" bits fit and they have no replacemnts at present.

From what I can remember you are right the original had 2 spines and in the end did it not go to 4 spines ??
Barry
Looking for my 1/4 to check.

Les a number of people in the UK have been given a 5mm collet not a 1/4" (6.25mm). Triton have a problem

Also remember that two years ago I bought a Triton dust bucket and then looked at 'Peter the Jigs' modification to make it into a 'Mini Cyclone' followed by making a dual mini cyclone and many other...

I found that using a big dust bucket with a small motor did not work. I continued to read BP site and decided from my tests with the dust buckets to decrease the diameter of the cylone rather...

HiString I was referring to the main body of the cyclone. In the Pentz shreadsheet put the diameter in as 14" and not the default of 18"and the input pipe size as 4" and let it calculate. The cyclone...

Ironwood the Pentz site suggests that if you reduce the diameter of the chamber it will work better with smaller motors. Their motors also run at 3400RPM verses 2850RPM with 220/240 volt. It is not...

Zenwood yes Itried it for a short while without a ramp and the results were not as good as I now get. I have clear tubing from the cyclone to the impellor and see no dust going to the impellor. There...

HiString
I looked at the same comments but I had run the 4" piping before reading the sites so I thought that I would try reducing the diameter of the cyclone and use a 3 HP motor - its worked -...

HiString if you make the main chamber at 14" diameter instead of the usual 18" the 2HP motor would work much better. You have to adjust all the other dimensions using Pentz's shreadsheet. 4" piping...

Wajor its only attached to the outside as all the dust forms a cyclone effect on the outside and you also have to have the option of removing the pipe to the impellor in case of blockages.
Barry

Zenwood you would see a big difference with your cyclone if you added an air ramp and went from the round pipe to rectangular pipe on entering the cyclone. I just cut the ramp out of masonite and...

Ironwood if you look back to page 1 of this thread you will see my solution. I found it best to seperate the impellor and motor from the cyclone. I have hung the impellor and motor from the roof...

Ironwood my 3HP blew the 13amp fuse in the cyclone mode - the clamp meter shows I am drawing 15amps. In the dusty mode it drew about 9amps if I remember right and increased when I added the filters...

The baby router is also sold in plastic case with all the extra's in the UK
Barry
ps Just you Assie's are losing out!

Stu is right - went through all the hoops and finally made a cyclone - what a difference its the only way to go.
Barry

The dust bucket with the 90 degree worked best

JimboJ if your dusty is only a 1HP motor it might not have enough suction when the dust bucket is in place. I used a 65 litre drum and made a number of tops to try which worked best. With a 3HP motor...

I would not make that a rule as if you have to collect above and below the table (Table saw & router) it is better to use 4" collections and blast gates so that you can regulate the airflow. I found...

Stu I am getting no visable dust/chips going to the impellor. There is some evidence of MDF dust left on the transparent 6" tubing. Using the 65 liter drum my diameter is reduced to 14" so I changed...

I agree with Stu only fix the outside of the ramp as the chip/dust are directed to the outside in my mini cyclone that has a see through plastic top. I have not had a blockage so far in my big...

Well done ironwood. I to was inspired by Stu in Tokyo but was convinced I did not have the skills in metal work to do it so I started with a conical flower pot from Ikea and a 65 liter drum and mdf...

Paddy is the power switch off? If the switch is on it will not let you fully extend so that you can remove the bit.
If you have got compressed air blow out any dust - usually it gets covered if only...

Scheppach would not let them use the big bandsaw in Orange - devalues the brand so I am told.
They can only sell the Chineese ones.
