Hi all, Remember my Triton Router with the wobbly chuck? The replacement arrived direct from Triton today courtesy of a very generous gesture by Colin @ Triton. The machine seems perfect, at least it coped with the same cut easily as the one that showed up the fault in the first one. Hopefully...

Ok, though I would just update you all on the situation....I got an email from Colin at Triton yesterday asking me to phone in and discuss the problem with the router. He says that Triton has never seen this problem before and initially the advice was to swap for a new one at B&Q and they would...

I watched a guy on QVC this morning flogging a router table and router. He was using what looked like a 3/4 roundover bit with a guide bearing and rounding the corners on a small piece of pine, no guard at all, just the bit poking up through the table. The look on the resident "expert" Orlando's...

Just an update on the router problem....Well, it's been a week since I sent the email to Triton about the problem but no reply as yet so I've dashed one off to head office. What I'm hoping for is that someone there may be able to say, "just do xyz and that will sort it out" without having to...

Hi Barry, No, definately not dropped :) This was out of the box litteraly. At powerup it was nice and smooth but it just went wild once I started cutting. Top and bottom is I got one which had never had the collet body tightened properly to the shaft in the first place, I got a friday...

That was the other machine I was considering Paul TBH but I was swayed by all the good reports in this here forum :) Maybe it's a one -off problem, scary one tho'

Just been back out to the workshop and as I suspected, the whole collet is loose, in fact I managed to just screw the enitre thing off by hand. On a tool capable of swinging a TCT bit at 22000 RPM, a fundamental flaw in workmanship like that is criminal. Of all the parts you don't want to come...

Hi all. I recently bought a Triton TRB001 to replace my Makita 3612c in my router table largly on recommendation from messages read here. Well, today I fired it up in the table for the first time with a 12mm straight bit to put in a 3mm deep dado in a piece of soft pine, dado running 300mm...

Hi all, I've just bought the Mite-r-slide from JessEmm. In the instructions for fine tuning the gauge for square it say to turn off the detent on the angle gauge. In the instructions it shows a switch but my unit doesn't seem to have one. Can anyone who owns one of these comment on whether they...

I use one of these: http://www.rapidwelding.co.uk/899020 I know it's mega expensive but as I have to use the airpack with a Speedglas welding helmet at work it seemed silly not to splash the extra 80 quid out for the clear visor. It's wonderfully light, two speed fan, you can wear prescription...

Hi all, Thanks for the comments and the help, I finally found the jig at http://www.katiejig.com/ just need to find a UK supplier now. BTW, I have ALWAYS cut dovetails by hand, since I was at school back in the 70's but I have always hated doing them. I find nothing at all satisfying...

Hi all, Just watched Norm making a writing desk. He used a dovetail jig on the router table which has four large handles. As a dovetail jig is high on my list of must have's and I've just finished my router table (Jessem top and Fence), this look like the sort of thing I'm looking for, looked...

Just to update the group.... I sent an email to Rutlands last night and this morning I was called at work by Georgina from Rutlands to say they had seen my message in this forum, and recieved my email with pictures and that the replacement parts are already on thier way to me. Also, Rutlands...

Many thanks for the help lads. I never realised it was the same as the axminster unit.... I'll get an email off to Rutlands with some pictures of the damage and see what they say, I'll post back with the results. Regards to all, Jeff.

Hi all, I've just taken delivery of a Fox F22-565 planer thicknesser. I've never used one before and the instructions are brief to say the least as well as being in some form of "Franglaise". Could anyone who owns one of these machines please reply with a little advice re: How do I set up the...
