I had the full TWX7 setup, which included the table, contractor saw insert, router table insert with TRA001 router, mobility kit for the table, and the in and outfeed extensions. I thought this would give me a decent kit for my garage shop that would also allow me to pack everything away and still park two cars.
The TWX7 table was great. It was sturdy and I could easily store it along one of the garage walls when not in use. I was not as pleased with the contractor saw insert. It was sometimes difficult to secure in the table and I could never figure out why. However, once it was properly set up, it handled all of the sheet goods that I passed through it. I used additional stands to support the plywood as I fed the sheets through the saw.
The saw insert and router table insert shared the same flaw for me, which was repeatability of settings. The miter and fence guide tracks in the TWX7 are on the table, not the inserts. The rip fence for the contractor saw had to be removed in order to store the table, and it was always a gamble when re-installing it and having the previous calibration apply again. I tried to arrange my workflow so all table saw operations were done without having to remove and re-insert the saw.
I foolishly tried to make a crosscut sled for the saw, but failed. The sled fit in the tracks of the table, but because there were always slight variations in alignment each time the saw insert was replaced, I was never able to achieve any accuracy with the sled. As with the rip fence alignment, each setup required another round of adjustments and test cuts to ensure the fence or sled could make accurate cuts.
I never used the router table insert because I abandoned the garage shop in favor of a basement shop before I had a project for it. The fence for the router is part of the router insert, which helps, but has a limited range of movement. The dust collection above and below the insert appeared to be good, and I bought a kit from Rockler that had the hoses and fittings to allow the top and bottom dust ports to be connected to one vacuum.
The more I used the Triton Workcentre, the more I realized it is best suited as an on-site contractor setup. I've seen videos where the system is used as the primary tools for a woodshop, but I decided it wasn't for me. I gave away the complete set last month under the condition that it never returns.
