Default A bit OT, A rant about tool web sites

Well I have decided to order a new speed controller for my Triton
router. Unfortunately doing so is done through a web site that offers
no means of communications other than e-mail.


I rarely order anything on-line, for the exact reason that
there are too many badly coded websites out there that make
it difficult or impossible to address any problems. Ordering
by phone tends to be more reliable.


And had that been the easiest of steps the one I would have taken in the
first place. Unfortunately I had to go through Triton directly and use
a middle man to order from the third party source.


I also figure if a company doesn't provide an easy way to
contact them, they're saying they don't actually want to
do business with me.


But it was $80, now $44, or at least $250~$325 for a new different brand
router and maybe a lift. The Triton is still the best design for
hanging under a table and or using as a standard plunge or fixed base
router with out changing bases.
