Hi folks,
On another board in a discussion about changing bits on the Triton and figured since there are more than a few Triton router owners who frequent FOG I'd give you a heads up. The discussion is here but what I basically did was mix parts between a Milwaukee router and the Triton to create a conventional collet nut.
The summary of the discussion is that in order to change bits when the router is not in its normal, as designed locking position the Triton collet nut prevents loosening because you cannot grab the nut at any angle other than perpendicular so 9 times out of 10 you're just not going to be able to get a grip on it. The problem is resolved by inserting the Triton taper into the Milwaukee nut. Works just fine. You can now grab that nut just like on any other router.
