Hi Frankie and welcome to the forum. You may be better off asking your question regarding your Triton in the Triton threads. Here

Hi Frankie, Welcome Im still trying to work out how to cut straight wood lol. Soon to retire I hope. Then I can practise all day every day.

G'day Frankie and welcome to the show.

Lots of good woodworkers in Perth so you should get plenty of personal help, if needed.

Welcome to the forum.

I started on the Tirton about three years ago. Still using it as something prevents me from getting rid of it. Space and Money.

Post in the Tirton area and I am sure someone will be able to give you a hand.

thanks all>>>> i think i find these forums as difficult to use as i do cutting a straight line ..I am in a couple of them (caravan, 4wd) and have the same problem navigating them as this one hopefully all will be sorted one day
