The Series 2000 Triton Workcentre is the culmination of years of development and re-design - starting in 1976 with the very basic Mk1 Triton Saw Bench - going through five major upgrades to finally arrive at the current Series 2000 Workcentre you see today.

The major driving factor behind the design of both the Workcentre, and the Router table, was to allow the owner to make use of power tools that they already had, and re-use them in an entirely different, and quite possibly safer way. The router table achieved this by mounting the Router upside down, allowing for work to be performed above the table, pushing the timber through the tool, rather than the tool through the work.

The Triton 2000 Workcentre does the same thing, with a handheld power saw, mounting the saw upside down with the blade through the tabletop, making it a safe means of trimming and sizing both large sheet timber products, and accurately working smaller timber. Again, pushing the work through tool, not the tool through the work. The Triton Workcentre has the ability to safely and securely mount any handheld power saw, from 7-1/4” up to 9-1/4”, accurately aligning the blade to a sliding fence system not unlike that on any dedicated workshop table saw. The bonus being that the mounting of the saw is not permanent, giving the user the ability to quickly remove the saw so it can be used for traditional handheld sawing. The saw can just as easily be returned to the Series 2000 Workcentres saw chassis, ready for use as a table saw, without the need for re-alignment.

One of the most important things to look for on any table saw are the safety features. The Triton Workcentre has several that are supplied standard with the unit. These include an excellent clear blade guard that is adjustable in height and inbuilt anti-kickback fingers that provide ample support for the timber.

The handy sliding push stick has a track on the back of the fence assembly that it is mounted to, this allows you to push the rear of your work piece through and past the blade. Very handy when you have thin boards that would normally require you to get you fingers just a little closer to the blade than you my be comfortable doing.

The Series 2000 Workcentre forms the backbone of the Triton workshop system, with a great range of optional accessories that allow the owner to add various components as and when the needs arise, allowing you to build the system over time. That being said, the stock standard Triton Series 2000 Workcentre (when coupled with your own power saw) is a very capable workhorse.

The included protractor acts like any regular mitre gauge, and slides on either side of the blade it’s used to perform cross cutting operations of various angles. A nifty feature on the protractor is the opposing 45-degree faces, which allows you to cut perfect 90-degree mitre joints with ease and accuracy. Mounted on the protractor is a side pressure finger which when positioned just in front of the blade, and the normally sliding protractor is locked in position, will help keep your fingers away from the blade when ripping smaller boards.
