Incidents, Accidents or Injuries when using a Triton.

[Trav]

I have had more injuries sharpening my muji blades than with my triton stuff!

Unless you count the time that I dropped my router onto my finger when shifting it to get to my other tools. Jammed it hard up against my shelves. Damn, that hurt for like 1 minute.

But I think the design flaw relates more to my coordination than the triton.

I agree with all the above. Power tools are inherently dangerous tools. I think there is a voluntary assumption of risk when you use any kind of power tool, including a triton. Would my finger have hurt less if I had a makita router instead of a triton - no way.

a happy tritoneer!

Hey I'm happy to answer. I got 3 stiches once from my triton table. The only thing to note is that on that day it may have happened with any saw bench in the world cause it was all due to


nothing but my own stupidity!!!!!



so as with everyone else here I got no idea why u need specifics with triton.


"to err is human" so it doesnt matter what tools u have things will happen.

I have a Triton 2000 work station and I've used it almost every day since November 1999. On Sunday 13 March 2005 I had an incident between my left thumb and the saw blade. My fault of course, and being left handed, very much a challenge, both physically and mentally.

I'm yet to use the triton again and in fact bought a Ryobi table saw because of my negative vibes with the triton, however, I haven't taken the Ry out of it's box yet.

Here's some post surgery pics for now, even reliving it through this reply is giving me heart palpitations and sweaty palms. If you want more info on the injury and how it happened, email me.

I can think of several accidents involving Triton.

There have been many in a 100 acre area about 14 miles south of Chicago. It seems that couples would get rather excited either in one of the Triton dormatory rooms on in the back seat of a car and the result was that the accident reared its beautiful head about 9 months later.

Also there have been some accidents, usually in the south eastern part of the US. Usually while out fishing in a Triton and after consuming a quantity of legal beverages, the accidents usually start with someone using the phrase, "Hey y'all! Watch this!" Some of these accidents are, unfortunately, fatal.

Hope this helps,
