Enjoyable and informative viewing. Smiled at your relationship metaphor (my wife also). Nice to go back to memories of the time of Cream. I can take from all you have had to say in both videos, and think about duplicating the basic design of the bought-product (as best can), for an upcoming movement of tools and such, from a spare room (which my wife wants back) in the house, to what initially (and perhaps always) will be a "small shed". Currently I have lots of bench tools fixed to bases, which tools are taken when needed from shelves and clamped to fixed or mobile workbenches (recyled furniture for the most part). I look forward to your videos, which I always find relaxing.
i like it it is not very expensive for what it is , but it is over my budget . it does give me ideas on a home made version . thank you very much for sharing
Good video Peter i have been looking at router tables with the possibility of buying one in the future i do like the look of the triton router where it has the built in lift.
Great overview Peter 👍. I have a Triton router currently fitted in a small Axminster worktop cabinet which is not ideal for various reasons. I will take a look at this workstation based on your experience. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Paul, the router insert has been a game changer, and I'm doing far more with the router now than I ever used to. The Triton router is a great piece of kit.
Thanks for this review Peter. Workshop construction has taken number one priority at the moment, but hopefully once completed I do need to look at a safe, time saving routing option and some form of routing table seems the obvious way forward😀
It's certainly been a game changer for me Leo, I have had a big Makita router for about ten years, and hardly ever used it because it was so brutal, having the router table makes it much easier to control what's going on. The Triton is great for being able to adjust the height and change bits one handed, so give it serious consideration even if you fit it to another table,
Yes Garry, there are only a couple of bolts on the bottom plate of the router, and as long as you get the hole for the winding mechanism in the right place it should be easy. I would actually just make a plate that dropped into the workbench top and make my own fence, or buy the Triton one from Triton spares, that would save a lot of cost.
Hi Peter. Very much appreciate these two reviews of the Triton TWX7 system. I am currently looking to upgrade my new workshop (now I have retired and moved) and replace the 'homemade' table saw and router setup I have (which allows/allowed my old Elu circular saw or an Elu 1/4" collet router to be mounted). Have spent a lot of time pondering whether to get a dedicated 'contractor' table saw, as my 'homemade' setup does not allow for either a proper electric 'kill switch' or the fitting of a saw blade guard and I also really need a 1/2" collet router, for the things I now have in mind. Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but which Triton router did you go for, on your setup? TIA
@@thesmallshed Hi again Peter. Well, I made an executive decision and went ahead anyway. So I have the TRA001 now myself, as well as the TWX7 Work Center and the Contractor Saw Module! Would have got the Router Station as well, but my supplier (and another I usually use) are out of stock and the 'Amazon Prices' being quoted are, shall we say, a bit optimistic - perhaps not surprising given the current circumstances. All unpacked and setup, so I will be testing the saw out next week on a DIY job. At the moment, I'm trying to decide whether to bother getting the extra collet for the TRA001 to allow the few 1/4" bits I have, to be used. They are all very well-used though, so I think I might just crack on and get all the 1/2" bits I need and forget about accommodating the others.
Supplementary to the comment/question I posted about a month ago, have you investigated/thought about getting additional saw blades for the Triton saw table module? The reason I ask, is that I would like to get a separate 80T blade (cross-cutting) and a 24T (rip) for this table, but its not proving easy to find a supplier. The saw module comes with a 254mm dia x 30mm bore, 40T x 2.6mm kerf TCT blade, but ironically, Tool Station (who I bought it from) don't stock any 254mm dia blades. None of my local suppliers/merchants do either and online, all I can really find is Screwfix, and the 80T from them would be by Erbauer and the 24T by Freud. Any thought or suggestions of other suppliers or brand recommendations? TIA
I can't say I have had cause to get any replacements yet Stephen, but I note that Saxton blades do an 80T 255, which should fit, and I would definitely go for the Freud blade over the Erebauer. It's worth searching for 10" blades as well, the additional half a millimetre in radius is easily accommodated. It's also rare that I use the full depth of cut, so it might be worth considering going down a bit in size, Axminster do 230mm, Toolstation have a Bosch 230 x 24t etc.
@@thesmallshed Not to worry, I got there in the end. Eventually (much later that same day) I managed to find a supplier who had Bosch blades of the right diameter + 80T & 24T, so the problem is solved. As for the notion of using smaller diameter blades, I wondered about adjustment of the riving knife. The, not that helpful, instructions talk about setting the knife, but it seems pretty fixed to me - certainly not adjustable enough to adapt to a substantially smaller blade as far as I can see.

Thanks Colin, with the small space mobile bases are definitely the order of the day.

If you need to use any of the fittings they are available from Triton as spares.
Exactly the kind of honest "review" I was looking for. Thanks for clearing my head and helping me decide on whether to get one or not.
Glad I could help!

Hi thanks for the video. Do you think it would easy enough to fit the router table part into your existing work bench.
Yes Garry, there are only a couple of bolts on the bottom plate of the router, and as long as you get the hole for the winding mechanism in the right place it should be easy. I would actually just make a plate that dropped into the workbench top and make my own fence, or buy the Triton one from Triton spares, that would save a lot of cost.

Hi Stephen, I bought the TRA001, the biggest of the family, and it's proved to be a wide investment.
