Hi All,
Following on from my previous posts Im now starting to look for a plunge router. Many people seem to suggest Triton, Makita or Hitachi. Ive used my fathers OLD Makita previously and a mates Worx router - The Worx (UK machine) has soft start and I found that nice, it was also a lot quieter than the old Makita!
To start with I'll be using it free hand (not on a table). One of the first jobs will be to cut 6mm grooves in drawer sides for the drawer bases on my garage storage unit. Depending on how much space I can free up I may also introduce somewhere for the router to sit in the drawer cabinet.
As some of you already know I don't have a table saw (nor do I really have the space for one).
I have found local to me, offered for sale as 1 used lot a Triton TRA001 and the Triton TSA001 circular saw - $300. Firstly, is this OK money for the two tools? Secondly, is the TRA001 simply too big to use when not mounted in a table, or would I be much better advised to look at the Triton MOF001? Im interested in these two because I could also use the circular saw and had thought about making some sort of collapsable table that I could mount it in to fashion a kind of table saw for when the need arises.
As a second question, the Triton website says that the MOF001 has a 1/4" and 8mm collet, whereas other websites suggests its also a 1/2" machine. I want a 1/2" collet machine (buy once, buy right approach) - Can anyone confirm if its a 1/2" collet?
Thoughts please gents.
