Back then, they didn't even have a boat...

Nothing special to worry about when changing the jaws other than the rubber inserts fit with a keyhole locking system (slide one > withthe other one sliding < toget them apart.

Her indoors has requested that I make a doohickey for her that requires curved components. I plan to do this by bending thin (1 to 1.5 mm)strips of wood and laminating them together. They won't be...

Thanks for the advice, fellas

A query to all you learned persons out there...... My brother is about to re-weatherboard his house with new boards. Does anyone have an idea as to how long they will take to dry and shrink so that...

You blokes have got it all wrong. Personally I wait until I have a few tools, such as the router, hammer drill, jig saw etc ready to be cleaned and put them all in the washing machine along with the...

If you are contemplating the purchase of a Triton Workcentre I would advise buy the latest 2000 series model (with the pressed steel saw chassis). I have used the Mark 3 version and the 2000 series...

The short answer is you don't (unless of course you want to remove the saw from the bench everytime). My saw is mounted permanently on the Triton so there is tension on the guard spring all the...

A query.
Would there be any interest out there in reviews of Triton equipment?

's response as to whether the setup is a daunting process is spot on ........ although I dont quite trust my tape measure that much. I use a steel ruler for checking the scales on the Triton....

Is it safe to buy second-hand? Probably. Like many things it will depend on the individual items. I wouldn't buy the Mark 3 version in preference to the 2000. I have used both and the 2000 is MUCH...

Have a read of the previous postings, especially Triton Newbie - Angelo - Feb 5 2000.

Barry,
I assume you are talking about a Makita electric planer coz I'e never seen a Makita non electric anything.

If it is the same as mine (which is ancient so these instruction may not apply. ...

The Triton Random Orbital Sander works well for that final smooth finish. It is no good for removing lots of material quickly but when used with some oil and smooth sanding disks it gives a great...

I haven't used the Mk3 for quite a while but from memory you need to screw it down quite tightly to ensure that the top of the base sits flush with the table surface. A bit of silicone spray on the...

George, The short answer is yes, the Blade Height Winder will easily accommodate the saw stabilizing bracket.
I use an Hitachi C9 saw in my Triton and even though the C9 is a great saw I still use...

The Triton Blade Height Winder has arrived. I paid just under $45.00 at Bunnings for it. It takes about 45 minutes to install and installation is generally straight forward although the instructions...

Barry,
I don't know how many projects the Triton site had available previously but there are still three there now. Click on Projects on left hand side of front page.

Cost of the Blade Height Winder is supposed to be about $35 - $40.
Thisis what I was told when I originally emailed Triton in early February.

According to an email from Triton the Blade Height Winder should be available from "early next week" (Week starting April 16,2000). I plan to get one when it comes out so will post a review in this...

Triton have updated their website. www.triton.net.au

Rex,
You should buy the Super Jaws. Very Handy.

Ps..... Please excuse the large number of typing errors in my last post. I forgot to check it before sending it.
As an addendum to my last message regarding George and the table saw, George mentions...

With regard to the table saw versus Triton argument the points about the table saw are valid but remnember that if you buy the triton saw it comes with a decent blade and allegedely doesn't need the...

I have found the 2k quite accurate with its cuts if you have taken the time to set it up properly. You also need to have a quality saw with no arbor float. If you are going to buy a 2k it is probably...
