Triton TRA001/TRC001 3-1/4-Horsepower Precision Router

Triton TRA001/TRC001 3-1/4-Horsepower Precision Router

Innovation in a powerful package, with convenience to boot--that's what you get with Triton’s 3-1/4 horse router, including something we haven’t seen anywhere else: the ability to change bits without taking the router out of the table or reaching underneath the table. When it’s fully plunged, the router brings the collet above the table, saving you time and effort. Brilliant. The body travels smoothly and effortlessly on its huge columns. There are two ways to adjust depth, too: free plunge and lock the lever, or use the micro adjustment knob for the finest changes throughout the depth range. The soft start feature won’t pull this heavy router out of your hands, and the variable speed switches easily. The handles feel good and offer excellent control, too, a plus because this is a hefty piece. In the table or out, we’d like this one in our shop.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
