    Hi friends, I recently purchased a Triton TRA001. It’s fresh out of the box. I bought it to flatten slabs. I’ve only ran it a few times and got nervous bc of the smell. It’s a chemical smell, hard to describe. Additionally the other day it started to smoke after a few passes over wood. The...

    Had resigned myself to having to work with my Triton TRA001 router hand held, but then an RTA300 with stand came up on Gumtree for $250 so I just had to grab it. Problem is, the mounting plate doesn't look like what's in the user manual. Is this an older pre-2000/2002 RTA300? Did the guy...

    Hello everyone. I just signed up. Long time woodworker that has taken a hiatus from the hobby due to work, kids, and everyday life and now getting back into it.

    Hi everyone, I am a week end wood working enthusiast, who works out of my double garage. You know the one, where you have to move the cars, rearrange everything, do a little work and then put it all back again. I still enjoy it. I have just bought a TSA001 Triton router (2400w) to mount in my...

    Hi all, I bought a Triton TRA 001, and Trend insert plate. I took off the plastic slider base and marked up where to drill on the insert. However, the screws that mounted the slider base to the router are far too small to go through the 9.8 mm insert plate and securely fix the router - Triton...

    Hi. I'm Graeme and hail from downunder, more specifically from a place almost as far South on the Australian mainland as it is possible to live. I'm retired and have been engaged in woodwork as a means to exercise my creative side and as a change from operating a desk for 40-odd years. My...

    G'day Everyone, I'm Jim, a 30 year old I.T. Project Manager in Melbourne. Having the "router forum" open on my work computer looks like I'm doing Network Infrastructure research (BONUS) ;) I've always loved building, creating and fixing things, but space in inner city living has always...
  11. Table-mounted Routing
    I just finished my router table, and mounted my Triton TRA001 in it. I have only used the router briefely before, as a plunge router (used it to route the cavity for the Bench Dog router table plate). It worked great, and I was happy. I'm still happy, but there seems to be a "snag" when I...

    I am new to the forum and have a fairly complete shop. I am restoring a 100 year old house on the National Registry. I just finished the qtr. sawn oak kitchen cabinets using Sommerfelds tongue & groove methods in shaker styling. My Freud / Incra LS17 Table router got quite the workout and has...

    I just got a flyer from Woodcraft and the Triton 3.25 hp is on sale Mar. 6 - Apr. 2 for USD189.99, and the 2.25 hp for $159.99. I would jump on it but I just bought the TRA001 (3.25 hp) for $175.00 plus shipping from Peachtree Woodworking (limited time sale). Í'm guessing the manufacturer is...

    I just acquired a Triton 3.25 hp TRA001 router and want to mount it in my shop built table. Has anyone tried the Rockler aluminum plate (version C) which says to be made for the Triton? I would be interested to know of any issues you may have come across.
  18. Table-mounted Routing
    I just purchased the Triton TRA001 router, but I am starting to second guess my decision. I have been looking for a larger router to augment my PC 690 and plan to use the Triton in the router table. After reading some reviews and doing more research I am still confused about the router's...

    Hi everyone, great to find a solid resource in this forum. I'm building a barn, and have decided to build my own wood windows. Most of them will be 24" x 24" awnings. Probably going to use Radiata Pine. I have a couple of routers, and a cobbled together table, but would like to mount a...
