David, the nice people at Oak Park will be happy to assist you with your order. Hands down I prefer their system over any other on the market. Drilling mounting holes is simple, but I am pretty sure they have a plate drilled to fit the Tritons.

David seems you got some good refrences. I built my own, but were I to be buying, the folks over there at Oak Park would get my business. I have seen the one Bob has and is very well built. When you get the one you want take some pics and post.

HI David,

I've had my OP table for several yrs now, no issues with it at all. It's well built. I think you'll be pleased if you choose the OP table.

hi David,

you do have some great suggestions! i think from all ive heard the OP is a great table.
i built my own. would i do it again or buy a prebuilt one? id build my own again because i can buld it to suit my needs and i can build it for a lot less and have more money left to spend on bits and accessories!

I have to agree with Levon. I just built my own table top, (still working on the cabinet). I don't have any experience with OP, but I have seen some posts on here where people have had issues making accessories work and others have mentioned that some of the OP pieces are not compatible with standard (Porter Cable) accessories. Making your own table can be frustrating if you make mistakes, but very rewarding when your done.
