Thanks for your kind comment :-) I use a cheap Ryobi half inch router - it has plenty of power and was easy to fit to the Triton workbench router table.

I want to know how to use the router,the routher cut slot, and the table saw still cut slot in the wood, who knows the difference of table saw and router cutting slot

Thanks for your question Calinji - I think by slot you mean a dado - a groove in timber to slot in a shelf. For that you can either use a dado blade set on your saw or a straight bit in a router. The router will typically give you a cleaner cut, and with the triton saw bench you may have difficulty fitting a dado blade to your saw as the triton is designed to give you minimal clearance, while providing for adjustment. I would use the router.

I was wondering what Router do you use? Nice vid and some good tips as well!

Bloody noisy. Surely for a dedicated jointing system they coulda used induction motors? Fidel Listeros

Ah but the point of the triton system is that you can use your own tools - the triton is really just a big jig, leaving your tools versatile. That's what makes triton good for compact workshops - you can just put on a router table top on the same stand so you don't clutter up your shop :-)

yeah it's floor space - but it lines up the bickies really well :-)

ma, too much floor space... sorry, mate, but let's be realistic. and the cost compared to a hand-held? but good luck.

Like any router it makes noise - that's why I wear ear protection when doing this
