@VanClaaude The Mk3 will do a T-joint if the end of the T leg is well supported and you can move it exactly with the guide bar - possible, but a tricky operation. Obviously there are some biscuit joints it won't do, such as halfway up a cabinet face in the middle, but these days portable biscuit jointers would do that task more easily.
@MiCompre Sure a proper dedicated biscuit jointer will do the job fine - I had the Triton one and it works well too. I made the video in response to those who said you couldn't do long boards with the triton attachment.
@ijerry1 The thing about a variable speed router is you dont have to have 2 dif router tables set up. Get a nice variable speed router and you wont have to worry about running those 3/4 inch and 1 inch shanks at a high speed.
@Phishboy26 - Thanks - yes the speed is probably a bit high for the half-inch bit I was running - but it did the job fine for my dining table. And yes it is a single speed router.
Some have criticised the audio on this video - please note that workshop machines can make sudden. loud and unpleasant noise - I use hearing protection in my workshop - so if you are listening at full volume, please be aware that routers can make a high pitched and loud sound, and adjust your volume control accordingly.
@CommentClown - Thanks - yes that is an accurate description - you are right it is an audio compression. I think you are right that it is a function of the data compression.
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.
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 :-)
I would really like to see you making biscuit T- joint as in a cabinet (a shelf in the middle for instance). Is it even possible on Triton MK3?

But why not use a proper biscuit-jointer? It's much quicker.
I can't see me getting this attachment for my Triton.
Thanks anyway for the vid. Interesting for sure.

Running that bit a little bit high.

@Phishboy26 - Possibly - but the router only has one speed - not a variable speed one.

@ijerry1 Yes it's a single speed router - fine for half inch bits, but a variable speed would be better if you are using 3/4 or one inch bits.

It's an audio compression problem. It makes it sound like a sci fi movie.

I'm trying to find a video which shows how to join two long boards perpendicularly.... to form an "L". Any suggestions would be helpful. Thx.

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 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?

yeah it's floor space - but it lines up the bickies really well :-)
ijerry1 4 years ago
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
