Triton router space requirements

I am in the process of finally making my router table, using the large Triton router.
The design will be much the same as the one on New Yankee Workshop, shown attached.

Can anyone please advise on the space requirements for the Triton router mounted underneath the table, to allow free access to the raising and lowering handles, the on/off switch etc?

regards,
Jill

Triton TRA001

I use the larger Triton TRA001 (the older model without the through plate winder) in an Oak Park table.

The plate is 11" x 11".

The router is mounted at an angle as per the attached photo.

There is no problem with clearance on my set up, but if you are going to use the router in a confined cabinet, I would suggest another 2" of knuckle clearance.

Perhaps just bolt the router to a cheap piece of plywood or MDF (not intending it to be the final surface) and then measure.

Here's my 2 1/4 HP Triton hanging like a bat under the MDF (which I am using as the final surface)

Then box it in with some cardboard or whatever. See if your hands fit.
Prototyping.
