True, however it was a gift and I don't have the receipt. I've managed to warranty stuff before without but it was a HUGE hassle. They almost wouldn't cover it, stating they couldn't prove I bought it within the warranty period. I then pointed out that the product was new and had not been available longer than the warranty.
Crappy tire is pretty great with their warranty stuff.
I think 3 years.
You can probably take it in and get a new one!

Somebody had Triton at the Woodstock woodshow but I can’t remember who. Here is a list of dealers within a 250km radius of my place. Enter your postal code and you might get some different/closer options for yourself. I have a triton and so far like it but it also gets very little use as most of my routing is in my router table.
I have that Mastercraft one, while the the collection worked pretty well with an up-cut spiral bit, the port to attach the vacuum broke off after only a few uses. I have it rigged back with a combination of screws/zip ties.
Was looking into the Oneida one, disappointing to hear it mat break easily as well.

Typically just whatever Lee Valley sells, althought if I'm going to peak toolworks for sharpening I'll sometimes get bits there - I forget if they're Dimar or someone else but they're pretty good. I should pick your brain, I want to build a telecaster-style electric some time soon!
I honestly can’t find them on Lee valleys new website.
I spent my lunch break searching and found no spiral bits with a bearing.

– These shear angles cut faster, cleaner and lasts longer than straight angle because of the chip removal speed. Amana Tool® recommends using a shear angle in most instances especially where large diameters are used.
These bits are essentially a plunge-cutting straight with a shank-mounted ball-bearing pilot. Versatile, useful for template/pattern routing of parts, joints, internal cuts, and can be used in handheld & table-mounted routers."
Are you using an upcut bit? A downcut bit will shove everything down and generate that kind of mess with a shield/chip catcher, but an upcut should send most of the mess towards the vac. I use the same shield and never see that kind of result.
That's a great point
I am using this

Just a basic easily obtainable freud top bearing bit.
I tend to go through a few of them so I stick to something inexpensive that I can get locally.
What brand are you using for bits?
Do they work for edge trimming or plunge routing only?
