Triton TRA001
Only one whitelisted tester covers the TRA001: Pro Tool Reviews, whose reviewer ran it hands-on for a week across a horizontal box-joint jig, freehand plunge recesses, and a router table. He rates it a serious Bosch 1619EVS rival on raw power and a class-leading rack-and-pinion plunge, but flags handles that sit too high and dust-obscured shields. No lab measurements (spec-sheet figures only); forums and blogs excluded. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Strong, deep-cut power that felt stronger than a Bosch 3-1/4 HP; Rack-and-pinion plunge with micro-adjust for repeatable, controlled depths (the standout feature); Table-friendly design: fully removable spring, smooth height adjustment, and auto spindle-lock for single-handed bit changes.
Flagged: Handles sit too high, hurting control in freehand/horizontal routing; Dust builds up inside the shield and obscures the workpiece; no dust-port adapter that fits the threaded port; Heavy and less ergonomic than the Bosch 1619EVS for extended handheld use.
