PRODUCT LAUNCH - TRITON


situation where we press reviewers were encouraged to make a simple frame using pocket holes.


A brilliant idea, because the process of getting ‘hands-on’ is a key to understanding how the jigs work.


With a few minutes of explanation we were given some ply, some tools, and some jigs then guided through the process. I have to admit that using the professional jig with a built-in workpiece clamp, makes life a lot easier - because it is simple to adjust and simple to operate.


This makes for a minimal setting up time and is something professionals need. What also became clear to me is that the jigs are strong and well-made, and will last for years even in a professional trade environment.


It is also handy the jigs can be screwed to a sub-base that could be held on a portable worktable, or workbench. The jig is much easier to use when the pieces to be jointed are not moving the jig.


What I learned from the exercise is jigs make the process of pocket hole jointing quite easy, but following instructions and accurate lining up of materials is crucial to getting the perfect joint. But even the non-perfect joints were still strong enough to be serviceable.


It is good to see Triton has full confi dence in the pocket- hole range of jigs, because they all come with a three-year guarantee. Of course, product users will also need to top up on screws and plug dowels, and they are freely available online and in regular Triton stockists.
