Trtions Don't Bounce!

[wizer]

Managed to knock my big Triton router off the bench yesterday. The concrete was unforgiving. It landed on it's head and seems to have damaged to speed controller. When I plug it in I get the power light but nothing happens when I switch it on. I replaced the speed controller out of my other Triton and it fired up. A replacement speed controller costs nearly £70. :? Don't know whether to go for a new router all together or replace the speed controller.

No one's got a dead Triton hanging around have they?

Bad luck mate, that is a real sickener. If you can find one of the B&Q £99 deals that have been posted on the forum regularly, I'd be tempted to go for a new one. If not Triton Tools is about the best I've found for parts and complete tools.

It's typical. Now the Workcentre is out of the workshop and I am waiting for the Jet to arrive, I was going to busy myself with a couple of router projects! I can use the one Triton between the table and HH but it's a faff. I might have a drive round the local b&q's but i'm prety sure they are all gone (bought by me ) Common sense tells me to just bite the bullet and get the spare part, but it hurts..

I've got a variety of bits and bobs, including a speed controller, vented black top cover, fine adjuster knob and spring cap. Let me know what you need and PM your mailing address.

Argee, you are a good guy. You reap what you sow mate.
Nice one, am sure Wizer will be made up.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nice one Ray, on both counts.

It seem Tritons may not bounce, but they can bounce back.

Ray sorted me out good and proper! The man is a true gent!


Tho, I probably shouldn't have popped into Timberline on the way back :roll: :wink:


Thanks Ray!

Over the years I have acquired a habit, reflex really, of catching anything I drop on my foot.
One day...

I used to do that Roy, until something heavy fell off the bench, :shock: and now I do the opposite. My children remarked the other day how quickly I move my feet when I drop a knife in the kitchen.
