I am considering purchasing a Triton router for my table but am curious about this spindle lock. I can't find much info or any good videos showing how and when it activates. Can someone shed some light on this. I currently run a Dewalt with plate in my table but changing the bits is almost impossible considering were the motor housing lines up.

Thank you for you help.

I am now more confused. I thought the router would lock the spindle from rotating when it was turned off and not having to adjust the height. I have some operations that I don't want to adjust the height for when changing the bits so that is what im trying accomplish.

I have a bent wrench to loosen and tighten the collet but the locking of the spindle is what I am trying to get around.

So it seems like I am just an odd duck of trying to change bits without moving router height. I guess I will just abandon my thinking and go with the Triton. Now the next decision is to order a new WP router plate or drill out my current Dewalt version to work.

I already have the wp inserts fir my plate. I did purchase the muscle chuck but have not been able to try it yet. I’m still trying to decide on a lift or triton but will work with the muscle chick for now.

I installed my muscle chuck but am very disappointed as the Dewalt mount doesn't go high enough above the table to make the Allen bolt on the muscle chuck accessible enough. I am looking at making a shop notes lift and if that fails I will be ordering a triton and muscle chuck for the triton.
