User Comments about the Triton MOF001KC/MOF001C 2-1/4-Horsepower Precision Router Kit

You can eliminate this problem by rotating the router mounting another 90 degrees CCW so that the crank hole is farther away from the fence. Otherwise for table use, it can't be beat. The only drag is that we had to get the second Triton from Woodcraft Supply for a little more $ because Amazon has been out of stock. Per Fine Woodworking magazone this is indeed a fantastic router for a permanent table setup: Above-table one-wrench bit changes and depth adjustment with the crank handle. We have two indentical setups with Rockler tables and fences on home-built melamine cabinets and it's perfect for frame and panel door fabrication.

One gripe is that if you set it up like it shows in FW, you have to move the table fence out of the way to adjust bit depth which means you have to go back and forth between bit depth and fence adjustments when using a bit that is tight to the fence. The only bummer here is that then the under-table adjustments are harder to get to (micro-depth and power switch, especially if you have it wired to an external power switch so that the router and vacuum start together). But considering how wonderfully this router works with a table setup it's a small price to pay. If you want a router to do double-duty as a non-table freehand plunge, then perhaps a different router should be considered (DeWalt 625, Makita, PC).

Google MOF001KC and check out review pictures and you will see what I am talking about. It is great and easy to use but be careful of one thing. I bought this router based on FWW's reviews. This is the MOF001C, not the MOF001KC which is the kit. Otherwise, great buy at a good price. This does not include the extra templates, storage case and other accessories that the KC has.

great router bad operator. It is really robust and has a lot of power and changing a bit is as easy as turning a screw.

I wanted an economical router for a table mount with top adjustments, but that didn't need an expensive lift. This Triton was everything I hoped it would be.

After contacting Triton, I was told that the guide bushing set is designed for the larger 3 hp router, and they were very vague as to when/if a suitable guide bushing set would be available. I'm very pleased with the router itself. However, I'm very displeased that the guide bushing set that is sold as an accesory does not work with the router. I'm considering returning the router and bushing set because much of my routing is hand held, and I use bushings extensively. The baseplate doesn't fit.
