I currently have a Bosch 1617EVS mounted in the side extension table of my old Unisaw. I got all excited about the Triton MOF001KC 2-1/4 HP when it came up for sale and having a rather large credit at Woodcraft, I bought it. I tried using the Triton for a couple hand-held jobs but found it heavy and awkward (more so than the Bosch, anyway) and didn't like the lack of soft start. So I put the Triton in storage until I get time to swap them out...I may need a new plate for the extension, but that's pretty cheap, I think.
Because the extension table of the saw is currently a storage platform (as I work on landscaping and such other tasks set forth by SWMBO), I haven't yet got around to making the swap. But on the to-do list is a white oak mantle for the fireplace and I will surely want BOTH routers working then, eh?
Don't need a penny... this thread is worth a nickel.
