I saw this tool in operation and after all the years that I have been exposed to the table saw dangers this product impressed me the most. I think it would be of benifit for all of us to watch this in operation and it is reasonable in price as well. Much better than any push stick or…

Jay, I have been absent from this Kreg Tool Owners site for about 4 to 6 (?) years. I downsized my amount of equipment and tools 3 years ago, and recently decided to "gently re-engage" into simple woodworking projects. Previously I focused upon log furniture crafting, and now will focus upon dimensional wood projects, using (some) self harvested beetle killed ponderosa pine, planer, and jointer, etc. My last log furniture project (for a customer) was a queen over queen bunk bed, which, due to the logs and slabs I had to work with, turned out beautiful! ... Not because of my talents, but because of God's provision of amazing logs and wood! I'm wondering if you are still active in production of the outstanding furniture as you were 4 to 6 years ago. Your talents surely amazed me at that time, and my amazement continues if you are still producing the wonderful results! Are your recent projects available for viewing on the Kreg website?
Abundant blessings to you. Your Friend near Salida, Colorado, Lynn Shank
You are so kind. I agree. The table saw thing was beyond overwhelming. I bought several gadgets to try and solve the problem. Took them all back. Ended up using a combination square and the miter slot of the saw to get it square. Along with pulling out the manual and away we went. Was much easier than I thought it would be. Other than tightening it back up slowly and making sure nothing moved. It was a lot easier and less stressful with two people. YOU have a great memory. :) Next project is another fish rod holder. Different style. Will be my first attempt at making a drawer. This is a great test of me having patience with myself. Also taking my time.
Might be easier to talk under chat vs public. I do not want to start a war regarding who knows what etc. I agree with you, so much info just gets confusing. This is going to be my first attempt at cabinets, less is more for me. Thank you also for all your knowledge.
hello again Jay
I am not sure how many years we/I have been on the Kreg site but didnt realise although we have been communitating over the years had never needed to communicate directly.
It was only thismorming I sw all the messages and eagerly logged it to check them out, only to be dismayed with waht I saw posted. I was so upset I was going to reply then though better of it, I guess some people will never change and after reading your career background I am saying nothing new.
Here is hoping they withdraw their remarks and make a honest acceptance it was out of line and end the issue. Mind you I think the member who saw my stupid post wanted me banned from the site! So justice can be quite harsh if you draw the attention, regardlless of intent.
Have a good day !!
Jay,
Thanks for responding. I am wrestling with purchasing a router.
The Triton has a 3 inch router bit opening. Have you ever run a larger bit with the triton running above the router bit opening?
I currently own a Freud 3 1/4 raised panel bit and it was expensive, so I'm hoping to still be able to use it.
