Anyone use this? I have questions!

I have that Triton router.

I am not sure exactly what you are talking about?

Is this what you are referencing?

Thanks.

Sorry it’s an adapter plate that accepts template bushings. It’s got issues with design IMO.

Researched and researched some more. Came across this:

Triton Router Template Guides

There has been a bit of confusion about the Triton Router Template guide kit in a number of forum posts, so I thought I’d go through a few of the aspects here for the sake of clarity. This is…

Not sure exactly what you are dealing with, but there is a section that talks about mounting the base plate:

Please read the entire article, just in case my above snip isn't exactly the issue you are dealing with.

I haven't spent too much time with looking for the best way to attach bushings to the TRA001, but now that you've posted your Q, I am intrigued.

Hope this helps.

Thanks that is very good information I never came across.

There is no information on the Triton site, nor with the part which I find a little ridiculous, but I’m not surprised with Triton.

I did not know about the alignment tool, but had already figured something like this was necessary as the holes allow for adjustment.

And I have also found out standard template bushings do not fit and even if they did, the collar is not tall enough to extend below the base. So you have to buy their bushing set, which is a $200 item.

So I’ll be returning the part and going back to a different system. I won’t get into it now, but I was hoping to be able to house the bigger router for a job I’m doing.

Thanks for your help tho.

Good to know about the plate and standard sized bushing. I was about to buy that plate from Amazon.

Have a look at this and see if this'll work for you: Infinity Tools router base plate
The plate seems to be built rock solid. It is 3/8" thick and accepts the Porter Cable style bushings.

Thx. I'll take a look at that. I saw a similar one made by PowerTek but was concerned about quality.

 

[Warped Woodwerks]

You are welcome.

I see 2 on Amazon, but they are both 1/4" thick. Personally, I'd go the 3/8" thick Infinity tools route for just a little more.
