I have the big 3.25hp Triton. I really like it. The power switch cover gets a little fiddley. It does auto lock on the collet shaft when raised to do bit changes. It only requires a single wrench to change bits. It also comes with a nice height adjusting handle with a spinning handle that is great. Highly recommend this router in a table.

Thanks for the recommendation. I had the Triton 2.25hp thinking it would be great in a table. I quickly sold it. Just too gimmicky with the power switch safety device. I still prefer my old Freud FT 1700 which also has auto collet lock and above the table features. Sadly it's no longer made. Thanks for weighing in.
