I had the same experience as George, and came to the same conclusion. Chuffed to bits with my Triton - if you get one just make sure you follow the instructions VERY closely, and the training DVD is worth every penny.

From that Google summary it sounds like they were being used as piling in some sort of waterway.

I'm a bit curious about this one. I used to work in the pit and I've never seen a pointed pit prop, and can't think what they would be used for. The whole point (or not :roll: ) of a pit prop is to support a load, so you want the ends to be as flat as possible. I was wandering if it was for...

Stripping the bark off them??

I've just had a look at Pat Warner's web site and I notice that he does CD ROMs that might be useful, especially "Routing for Starters": http://www.patwarner.com/rfs.html Could be a worthwhile $20 worth (especially at two dollars to the pound!).

For what it's worth here's my five penn'orth. I collect and shoot air rifles - mainly precharged pneumatics, which have to be filled to between 165 and 200 Bar, using either a high pressure stirrup pump or a scuba cylinder. The problem is that virtually every manufacturer uses different...

To anyone who's got a Work Centre (or is thinking of buying one): can I recommend the Triton training DVD? It's far more detailed than the video that comes with the Work Centre, and contains masses of hints and tips, ideas for jigs etc. (including a handy one for occasional bevel cutting wider...

Thanks for the warning - mine will be bolted down and well guarded!

Cheers George - I think I'll be adding quite a few of the optional extras! I've decided to go for Triton's own saw, it might be bit pricey but seems to allow you to get the most out of the Workcentre (I doubt if I'll be using it much handheld though - I'm one of those rare beasts, a 51 year old...

The more I'm hearing the more tempted I am! One of the reasons for going for the Triton is my current lack of adequate workshop space, I do however have a very large paved yard (with power supply and good lighting) so I would be able to use it outdoors, weather permitting, but lock it away...

Interesting! You're confirming quite a bit of what I was already thinking. I'm looking for something that is easily portable, can be folded away when not in use, and can perform a number of functions that would otherwise require separate machines. I will need to be able to handle quite large...

Hi, Time for my first post after lurking on here for a while! Although I'm no great expert at woodwork I've certainly had a good deal of practice renovating my old cottage. It's got to the point where my limited range of power tools and trusty panel saw aren't up to some of the jobs ahead of...
