Thinking of buying a Triton Router ??

[Ken Milhinch]

You might want to think again, as the the company owning the Triton brand (GMC) has gone into receivership. The receivers have been called in by the company's Australian bankers so it doesn't look good for the future.
Of course the business may be sold, but I wouldn't want to bet on it in this economic climate.

Thats to bad. :( I think they had a nice unit. I have the 2 1/4
in my table. I must say,it is the most complete kit I have seen.
It comes with bushings,extension plate,adjustment handle for
above table use. Sad if they don't make it.

I agree with Rick. I'm very happy with my Triton 2 1/4.

Jerry,

Nobody is saying the router is no good, but warranty repairs and parts may be a bit problematic in the future.

Ken,

Is this the same company that offers the powered respirator? We are evaluating them at our company in a dusty environment.

[Ken Milhinch]

Rich,

It sure is.

'Tis a sad sign O' the times. All the money advisors on television are cautioning against giving gift cards this year. There's too much risk the cards will be no good if the store goes belly-up. A lot of people got stuck with Sharper Image gift cards earlier this year.

I was looking at the Triton router at Woodcraft last Friday. It does indeed look like a nice tool. It's a shame power tool choices are getting fewer.

[Rich Enders]

Ken,

Thanks for the confirmation. The powered respirators are working well for us. Hopefully Triton will get it together.

I tried to contact them, but the e-mail bounced.

That's good news. I just bought a 2.25 router 3 weeks ago, and I love it. I see on your web site you have a 12" sliding CMS. Is that available in the US? Is there anywhere to see one in person? It doesn't look like anyone carries it.

The 12" CMS is currently only available in Canada, I have no US dealers who have shown any interest in it as of yet.
