A sort of different saw

Post by robinson46176 »

I'm not posting about the saw as such, just posting for those like me that are always looking for an idea to steal (probably most of us). :)
I just had not seen this unit before when I stumbled across it this morning while trying to steal dust collection ideas.
Do a Google image search for:
triton workcentre 2000
I gather that it is an Australian? product.

I did not equip with Shopsmiths in spite of the setups but because of them.

OK, Appears to be UK instead of Aussie.
Here is a page. (note) the "Shop" link seems to have good content.

I just bought the OSS this week. The colors on mine are reversed and it came from Harbor Freight but it is identical as are the Shop Fox and a couple of others. As far as I know HF sells it the lowest. (~$110 vs 148 pounds)

Makes you wonder if Central Machinery is looking at any of the more innovative pieces of kit in the line.
