Because of my day-to-day job I don't have much time to indulge in my hobby of woodworking
but after some time of tracking them down because they always seem to be out of stock
I managed to get my hands finally on this Triton TWX7 work centre which comprises a
router table a saw and the actual table itself the basic principle is that there's a bench
dog taper on the top which can come out and both of these units can fit in individually
thus saving lots of space in my garage or my workshop at home let's get it open and have a look
this has been a long time coming
stuff
instructions
hello music
all right
so
okay
all right on that side let's see that's a there's a catch
so first of all
the wheels one of these in each corner
and then
legs slide in the wheels back up again
well, I have to admit it sounds cooler than I expected but that's not the best thing at all
so here we have worked up on top of all the holes pre-drilled for bench dogs
cat looking catches either side which pop out
and then you just lift the table up like so
and the other units drop straight in which you can see this one's come pre-fitted with all the
levelling screws etc
then lock them up we need a little bit of adjustment like this all down a little bit
turning around to the side
we have the European plug with the UK plug adapter on it
the actual plug which goes into the contractor saw module or to the router table and with a
contact switch to lock the power off in case you need to do that quickly
I’m going to have a little play with it I’ll let you know how we get on with it
so I haven't opened and actually looked at the instruction manual which is pretty unusual for me
I see I have to put these little black clips sliding clips on I don't actually know what these
are for yet I’m sure they'll come apparent soon I have the allen key for the adjustment screws
and I have the locking catches for the sliding rails very simply these come with some nylock's
on some bolts and as I pull the lever back you'll see the lever pushes in the locking mechanism
so to fit these you simply need to slide them into the rail
and the screws line up the bottom nuts line up even
might be easier to have your Phillips screwdriver to hand when you do this so as you do it you can
just wind them in and improve true nature of video it never happens first time as you want it to
there we go now according to the manual they need to be about 150 mil or about six inches
from the centre so just do that roughly about there and we'll just tighten it up
with these little black catches similarly,
you can see the shape on the back there now that slides into the rail along the other side
again, just ease in and there's a little knob on the back
I didn't show you a little knob on the back there which he uses that's
for the compression just to stop it from moving accidentally
taking a steel rule or something flat and smooth like a level we can see that the table top is not
level with the aluminium runner now to adjust that we take the allen key and in the very top here
there are some grub screws it's just a case of just adjusting them until you get it just right
like that
now you just have to go around and do all of them it's quite time consuming but it'll be
fantastic when it's done and contrary to what I said earlier regarding these little black clips
there's a little black catch on the back there and looking around the side
of the rail there's some little caption holes that simply just lock in in place
I assume this is for a tool with either the saw or the router bench which I’ll find out soon enough
so now the tail is nicely levelled off and my bench dog is in its rightful place
I’ll see you on the next instalment where I’ll be gripping open the box for the contractor saw
show you what that's all about so don't forget to hit the subscribe button so
that you know when I do that so until then thanks for watching.
