Initial setup and use are a bit confusing. They could have invested more time giving step by step instructions in the manual. I'm a visual person so an instructional YouTube video on initial setup, use, and maintenance would have been helpful. I would consider myself a woodworker of moderate skill and it took me a long time to figure out the features. Even now I don't know that I understand all its capabilities. In fact, I saw a store clerk move the router up and down smoothly pushing in the button while rotating the knob on he side. I had no idea it could do that! (Forehead slap) I have had my Triton for a good while now and it works flawlessly. I bought it specifically for use in a router table and I especially like the fact that no lift is required to lift the router above the table for bit changes and adjustments. A great feature and a serious cost savings.

Apart from the evolved components added to the electrical brain of the TRA002, there are some visible additions. The cut area has been redesigned and enclosed to create a hyper-efficient cyclonic-dust-extraction effect, which is coupled with a new extended vertical hose and swivelling extraction port. These new features will make the TRA002 the cleanest-operating router on the market. Other additions include a bright LED worklight to improve visibility during hand-held operation, and the base now features a guide bush plate, making the new TRA002 ready for Triton’s range of guide bushes straight out of the box.Triton Tools, leading brand of woodworking hand and power tools, is revealing its new router: the TRA002. For over 20 years, Triton’s TRA001 has been a workshop staple around the world. Renowned as being the router designed for woodworkers, by woodworkers, it continues to rate among the best in product head-to-heads and is highly sought after. 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.

And it excels in all these features... I also love the soft-start which mitigates the torque reaction felt during hand-use... if I had any criticism, it would be that the pressed-steel collet spanner had a razor-sharp edge on one side from the manufacturing process, a touch-up with a file sorted that... The only thing I don't like about the new router is the new collet design. To change the size of the router shank it is necessay to change the whole assembly instead of just the collet insert. I find this an unnecessary complication, especially when working on the table using a narrow throated insert. In this circumstance it is quite difficult to get the collet nut through the table enough to change it or to insert a new cutter. For me, the old system worked very well - so why was it necessay to change it? I bought the set as they were on offer with a substantial discount - table, router table, table saw and a nice new router; I think I effectively got the router module for nothing! Yandles were far cheaper than anywhere else. But I have faith that when I do call, Triton's great tech support team will have me up and running in no time. It saves me a lot of time, especially since I just have one router for off hand use and use with this table. Attaching and detaching the Triton router is simple and straightforward.

Depending on the solution of the request I can strongly recommend this table or don't recommend it at all. Side air vents reduce intake of dust into the motor casing when mounted upside-down in a router table 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. In the meantime, I have already worked some pieces of wood with this router and I am just as excited as on the first day. I am now in discussions to convince them to make a plate with a bigger hole so that raised panel doors can be made on this table but from the first answers I'm not very confident it will happen!
