I hope to have an answer soon. I emailed customer service at both Triton and Wixey with your question and will share it. I really like my Triton a lot, so i'm also interested in the answer.
Which "Trend one"? I don't find any Trend instruments other than digital protractors.Got this answer from CS at Toolstream (Triton), and still waiting for Wixey's response.

I got an answer back from the guru. Below I what he said to me:
Hi Debbie
no reason why it shouldn't. Looks like the Trend one which is ok.
Thanks, and have a great day!

Yeah, I have one of those. Battery life is measured in minutes. Whenever I need to use it, the battery is dead ;-(I think the Trend unit they where talking about us this one

Not really what you are after.
Don't know if I'll install one on my setup because of the way I work. The bits that really need precision setting I have jigs for, including the Sommerfeld star shaped QuickSet jig, which also comes in a version for Freud bits. Saving my cash for another goodie at the moment. Looks like a pretty foolproof installation to me.Awesome! Let me know if you apply this to your Triton router and how you did it. I have to wait until I get my Incra Router table (6-8 weeks).
When you get the Wixey dialed in properly, it's really great to crank the DW 735 to, say, .75" - and it planes .75". Sounds simple, but I'm totally spoiled. Let me know how you like it when it comes. Not too hard to install. Installing mine came after putting a helical carbide head in it... that was not fun. Happy with the planer now.Larry, thanks. I recently got a DeWalt 735 and I just ordered the Wixey for it, based on your input.
I'm looking forward to doing that. On installation, seems to me that clamping the vertical bar in place before drilling is a good idea.When you get the Wixey dialed in properly, it's really great to crank the DW 735 to, say, .75" - and it planes .75".
