If you have a Workcentre 2000 and want a router table then this is a no-brainer; buy yourself one of these and (preferably) one of the excellent Triton routers and you will be set. I'm now using this TRA001 router in combination with the RTA300 precision router table and the BJA300 biscuit joiner. I only wish I'd bought it earlier!

A year ago I was using a homemade router table, with a cheap router. I had to partially strip the router to insert my homemade lift system. Eventually the router broke because it was taken apart too many times (and the quality wasn't up to par). I was fed up with this, and so I decided to invest in some decent equipment. I was VERY disappointed to see that the router bit hole is too small for raised panel doors cutters - all, doesn't depend on the brand! They don't fit in that hole so you can't use them unless the cutter is completely over the table which means you have to put another support board under the raised panel board to be able to cut it.

‘The BEST’ just got better: Triton’s new TRA is almost here

Big, Beefy router capable of easily handling the toughest material. Ate through 1 3/4 inch mahogany like it was nothing. The foot is stable, bigger than average routers. The plunge construction very ridgid which helps to keep narrow tolerances. Safety wise the on/off button is a nice as it is protected by a door. There is a small delay when powered up. Once you get used to it it is good to have. Speed is fully adjustable to router bit/ material you are cutting. If I had to change one thing it would be the point where the cable exit the machine to slightly lower point. Adding some hear protection in the box would be a bonus. Die Platte des Moduls ist leider nicht eben, in der Mitte (Fräser) fällt sie um ca. 1mm ab, ob man da noch eine gleichbleibende Tiefe für eine Nut erreicht, ist fraglich. 520€ in den Sand gesetzt, ich werde mir die von Incra kaufen. Functionally this does everything you could ask of it from rounding over, slotting, edge planing, etc. There are also extras you can buy, like the finger jointing jig, that work well (albeit being a little fiddly to set up but this is the case with box jigs).

Overall I like the router. I guess the only thing I'd chage is some of the parts feel like very cheap plastic. Like the plunging height stops and the plunging shaft. I have a feeling I will have the same problem in a few months because I use the router a lot. I was looking for an additional router to hang permanently in the table and this looked the ideal unit as it offered some exceptional features which i’ll List. Somebody, somewhere, has actually thought about how to make this router useful and simple to use and, whoever you are, I take my hat off to you! The Triton TRA001 lives up to its reputation in both hand held and router bench modes. The soft start and variable speed adjustment provides greater control while delivering the power to cleanly cut through hardwoods.The power switch has a plastic window you have to slide out of the way to switch on power. This is really inconvenient with the router under the table. I suppose mounting another switch to the table saw could solve that problem. Or, perhaps breaking off the plastic safety window.
