Set up a triton router
Afternoon all , i bought a triton router years ago . I had an Elu router which broke in dec last year , i don,t too much and it has not been used ( product wise ). Searching online i came to a Triton 265709 TWX7RT001 Router Table Module also a Triton 265253 TWX7 Workcentre . The Triton 265253 TWX7 Workcentre was alright setting up , the Triton 265709 TWX7RT001 Router Table Module was ready made . Which meant i only had to fit the triton router that's where the problem starts , am i doing it right i'v watched lots of videos saying how to do it . There is a black object with a round hole where you insert the winding handle . Iv tried umpteen times but can't connect with the item used to raise the router bit . I bought the item from FFX , they have a FFX chat line I was given a number for the Triton Technical Team , but it was an invalid number . See the photos they are all shot from the same edge there are other photos from other angles ( top etc ). Thank you Trevor Bilton

Hi trevor
Its hard to see anything in those photo's
there should be a "T" attachment protruding from the alloy body that the winder handle engages with
it may be possible they have supplied an older model router without that feature

When I set mine up I had to drill a hole through the table top so I could access the height winder

Hodgo , Bertr , i didn't realise you ciould get router tables with winding handles on the top ,i had ancient Elu . I'm trying to figure out why the winding handle isn't lowing or raising the router bit . The Triton 265709 TWX7RT001 Router Table Module was ready set - up , all i had to do was fix the triton router . TDSC01079.jpgDSC01087.jpgDSC01088.jpgDSC01098.jpghats why i'm wondering is it set - up wrong , because the winding handle won't work . Here's some photos of the top . Thank you Trevor Bilton .

did you release the locking lever before trying to adjust height . If not you may have stuffed up the worm drive that drives the height adjustment.
cheers

A closer up shot from below of the handle going through the table top and attempting to connect to the router may help so we can see what is not aligning.
Going back to post #6 maybe I'm misreading your problem. Maybe you have got the handle to connect and it's just not moving the router up or down. Does the router wind up and down using the handle on the opposite side to the switch?

Suggest taking the router out and making sure the winding handle works out of the table. Then it's just a matter of aligning the router winding shaft with the hole?

Silly question 1: Did you remove the black plastic router baseplate as per the instructions?
Silly question 2: Have you fitted the router the wrong way round? It can be fitted 180 degrees out....Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

Chief Tiff , the Triton 265709 TWX7RT001 Router Table Module , was already set up . My main question is was it set up properly , thats why the winding handle ain't working and the locking handle is open . I didn't try the winding handle before i loaded the router . I will show a photo of then winding handle , to make sure its right ( connection i mean ).DSC01102.jpgDSC01105.jpg

The handle should go through the table, past the router baseplate via a notch and engage with the bottom of the height winder mechanism. I suggest the first thing you do is actually remove the router. It’s really simple; you’ll see two black knobs on the router base. Undo them both until there is about about 4-5mm of thread showing, then push them straight up and rotate the whole router. It’s a bit like a big bayonet fitting.
Once it’s off you can then investigate properly.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

If its engaging and turning the "T" connection that I mentioned in my earlier post and nothing is happening, there has to be something more sinister within the router itself, ie. stripped or very clogged adjusting mechanism
Its hard to make any assumptions with your photo's
