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.

Triton "spindle lock" is a safety feature only available to Triton (as far as I am aware). In Triton, the power switch has a "cower" over it that needs to be open in order to operate the switch. When you "close" the cowering, the spindle lock pushes in the spindle and locks it so you can change the bit. This gives dual safety, electrical and mechanical; that is you can not accidentally operate the switch with the cower on.
This feature is important to me as I use my Triton exclusively "table mounted" and use external (no voltage) switch.

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.

Neither! Just get the Triton router table and you will have the shaper/ moulder machine.
