I have never needed to lock any of my 3 tritons that are in tables, it’s never even occurred to me to do it, in fact I stripped all additional plastic handles and parts off my machines as well as taking the plunge spring out… they have never moved when doing cuts.

Depends on the sort of size you need, I have a floor standing JOVS10, it’s great, use it most days but I remade my own custom spindles that were much taller for my jobs and took hook and loop paper. there are loads of smaller bench top models

just to add to this, i inherited a Laguna 18BX that actually had been imported, its amazing, i love it... but its a 3phase version of the single phase saw available in uk, so i have never had any transaction through a UK dealer, i emailed Nick at laguna UK needing help & advice, he was...

i have many buffing machines for lacquer & metal finishing, mostly lacquer buffing for high gloss work on wood, but i also learned early on if you are doing finishes such as guitars & in my case drums (same finishes but much bigger areas on drum) a covered grinder is useless long term. i burned...

only thing i dont like is that its a pain to keep taking the cross cut fence off when i need more cutting room, its rather annoying, I'm deciding how to mod it to make things work better.

I have 3 triton routers in tables, one is the model you mention, all are just in home made insert plates made using 6mm aluminium I had cut from eBay, just clicked buy, send them the size and simple drawings for the holes.. they lazer cut to my requirements for far less than a commercial bought...

I have 3 triton routers, I made my own router table
