    Yeah they seem a nice enough bunch..... compared to the "neighbours" at least. The one I cohabit with is okay and the little ones are 50/50 Oz/Canuck so I guess they get the best of both!

    A great review Shedhand. You covered everything so well.

    BUT I am still buggered if i know why people go to such expense!

    I have said this several times in other places, but Ill say it again; Build your own lifter use a car jack. Might not look as fancy but it will work.

    In any case the Triton is in no need of a lifter.

    I would sooner put the money to other uses.

    Thanks Art.

    "Build your own lifter use a car jack. Might not look as fancy gut it will work.
    "
    I didn't have 2 car jacks and the one have, I need for the car. If you saw my "shed" (2 converted bedrooms in my hut) youd know that space is at a premium and 2 jacks would require floor space under my bench which I use for storage.


    "In any case the Trton is in no need of a lifter."
    The Tritons DO need a lifter when mounted upside down in a table: 1: because they are very hard to adjust as it seems the press and turn release mechanism in the hand grips are not designed to work with the weight of the router when upside down. 2: because the poor state of my spine and hips makes it painfull to be reaching underneath to make adjustments.

    "I would sooner put the money to other uses."
    I already did!!

    Cheers

    Exclamation

    1. You don't need 2 car jacks Sheddie. A bottle jack is fine.

    2. I have no trouble with my Triton. You do need to take the spring out that controls the plunge mechanism.

    3. good for you. Mind telling me what?


    Still a bloody good review!!!

    Top review Sheddie, thanks very much. I've had the same idea as you - two routers for speed in doing multiple dovetails all at once. I was thinking I'd mount them in 2 separate tables, because I want to put them on wheels (mine will need to be shoved over to the side of my workshop when not in use). What do you think the pros and cons are of mounting them in one table or two? I'm interested in your opinion because you obviously use yours as is in one table - does that work well or do you reckon two would be better?

    Greenie on its way...

    Thanks for the praise mate. My table is fairly compact as I'm strangled for space as well. I've mounted a 4 gang power point on mine and I plug the two safety shutoff switches into these and plug each router into its own safety switch. I also plug the Festool C22 dusty in to the plug as well and then plug the power cord from the power point to the the dusties power outlet. So its all in one place and and good to use.
    Good luck with yours mate.
