I very well could be mistaken, but I thought the European
"prohibition" on dado blades was due to a short "spin-down" time
requirement that was difficult or impossible for a high-inertia dado
blade to meet.

If I'm wrong, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to be corrected, but if my
understanding is correct, perhaps some sort of brake could shorten
the coasting time enough to bring dado blades within the regulatory
requirement.

I really don't know why, and since I have a cupboardful of routers it
hasn't really been an issue - but I can see how for lots of jobs a RAS
with a dado could be a very quick solution.

FWIW, wobble and regular dado blades work fine on mine.

I ran a wobble dado blade on my radial arm saw - Once! :-)

I ran one for years. They are a bit crazy to run.

I found it a bit small in diameter - I thin mine was 5 or 6".

I now have a wonderful set of stackable ones that do all sorts
of sizes. I was doing a job and the job bought me a new blade set.

I have the bigger model and bought it when it was originally in the
$300 range and was the only Triton router choice and do not regret
paying more.

One other question. Did you remove the springs from the plunge
mechanism for use in the table?



I did remove the plunge springs from mine, it made the adjusting easier.
If you go this route be aware that the spring is under a lot of tension
and will fly out of the plunge tube even though you are holding on to the
cap. DAMHIKT!!

Yes, however the spring is "intended" to be removed easily. Remove a plug
and take out the spring.

No, Steve indicated that it might be a deal breaker in the future.
Agreed, if you have it you probably appreciate it more.

I can't speak for Steve. I speak for -MIKE-.


Sorry Mike.
