Triton Tra001 Router question

[sploo]

I removed the plunge spring on mine, but do lock it whenever I take a cut. For the couple of seconds it takes it's not worth risking damaging stock by leaving it unlocked.

Mine's in a table whereby the router is in its own cabinet, with a hinged door for easy access (with padding on the inside of the door and cabinet, and dust extraction out of the cabinet). Works well.

I have the same router and mine is attached to the triton router table this was then placed in a cutout of my bench. The underside of the table is a big cupboard which also houses the router and the vac. This keeps the dust in one area and I use a vac on the extraction point above.

I did think about trying to enclose the router but it makes it fiddly to use the speed and power lock to change the bit. I don’t lock the router in place when I adjust the height from above and never had a problem but reading this thread I may now do it.

I have added a few things to this setup, I brought a NVR paddle switch mounted to the front of the cupboard and I brought a second winder for the height adjustment which I mounted into an electric screwdriver so it’s super easy (I know it doesn’t really need it but it was a summer bored project).

Just a suggestion. Sell the router and router table and buy a small spindle moulder. Far more capable, stable, better cutting performance and capability than any router table setup. The ridiculous thing these days is that you can buy a secondhand decent spindle with a couple of modern safety blocks for about the same price as a new Triton TRA001 route!

Did as Deema suggested as it gets to the point where the quality of the cut is dictated by the sturdiness of the table not by the router itself.
