Triton DCA300 Dust Collector

Mike.C · 6 Mar 2007

After ordering my Triton router I was looking around their site and I came across the DCA300 Dust Collector. Has anyone got one of these?

I realise that it was produced for their workcentre but I wondering if it would be any good using it on a handheld router or my Festool plunge saw?

While on the subject does anyone use the full size extender such as the one Axminster sells? If so does it make a difference?

I have the Triton dust bucket, I think that is what you mean. It works ok and stops a lot of dust getting into the vac. It has a filter in the lid that tends to clog after a while, but it is easily cleaned. There are also plans around to convert it into a mini cyclone. Can't find the link right now but have a look at the Aussie Ubeaut site, they have a dedicated Triton forum.

Forgot to say that I also use the Triton dust collector with my router table. It has two collection ports so I can hook it up to the fence and to the router under the table. Spare connectors, hose etc. are cheap from the Guys at Sharpend services.

Two collection points what a good idea. You can really see that Triton put a lot of thought into there products.

Have you got a web address for them?

Thanks for the info.

Hi Mike,
They now call themselves The Woodworking Centre and they have updated their website since the last time I bought anything from them. They have pdf files with exploded diagrams and parts lists of all the Triton kit so it is easy to find what you need.
