It very quickly became obvious that the Triton had been designed for table mounting and using this router, it would be relatively easy to make my own table. It was just by chance I saw a YouTube video on a homemade router table, which happened to use the Triton TRA001. It became obvious that I would need a router table, but it might be possible to do a homemade one once I decided which router to go for. I researched all the popular brands, read all the reviews and watched most of the videos. I had some projects in the house which required edge bead and architectural mouldings to reproduce some Victorian skirting, so time to get a more powerful 1/2' router to supplement my 20 year old ELU. I had been looking for a new router for some time. This router carries on the Triton tradition of powerful, versatile machines. The question now is, will it last as long as it's illustrious predecessor? Time will tell!! For me, the old system worked very well - so why was it necessay to change it? In this circumstance it is quite difficult to get the collet nut through the table enough to change it or to insert a new cutter. I find this an unnecessary complication, especially when working on the table using a narrow throated insert.

To change the size of the router shank it is necessay to change the whole assembly instead of just the collet insert. The only thing I don't like about the new router is the new collet design.

At the same time the height adjustment means that it is easy to get precise adjustments for accurate results. Nothing daunts these routers they can cope with the heaviest work with easy. I mainly use it in my Triton router table, for which it was designed and is ideally suited. It carries on the tradition of powerful, versatile machines. Thiis router replaces an earlier Triton router which has served me well for two decades.
