What reviewers say about the 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.

Tested by Pro Tool Reviews
Consistently 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
Commonly 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
Where reviewers disagree Single-source review, so there is no cross-tester disagreement. The reviewer's own split verdict: Bosch wins on ergonomics and well-controlled power, while the Triton wins on innovative features and raw power - making it a top pick for a plunge/table-focused shop rather than for precise template routing.

the Triton TRA001 had plenty of power for this deep cut (and actually felt more powerful than my Bosch 3-1/4 HP)
This plunge system is by far the best feature of the Triton router.

Source: tritontools.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by infinitytools.com. The official Triton page (tritontools.com/en-ww) confirms model TRA001 "Dual Mode Precision Plunge Router" with a "2400W / 3-1/4hp" motor, "Speed: 8000 - 21,000rpm", 1/2" and 1/4" collets, "Soft start and variable speed", and a single button that switches from plunge to fixed base (hence combo). Infinity Cutting Tools' US listing corroborates the exact same model (MPN TRA001, SKU 116-270), stating "Motor Power: 3-1/4 HP (15 Amps)", "8,000 to 21,000 RPM", collets 1/2" and 1/4", "Weight: 14.5 lbs", and "Regular price $399.90" — which is the sourced price. Both pages identify the 3-1/4 HP TRA001 (not the smaller 1400W MOF001 sibling), so model identity is confirmed; plunge stroke was left null because the two pages disagree (68mm vs 2-5/16") and neither states a clean verbatim decimal-inch value.
