Use: While turning a piece with both eye and head protection I must admit I felt very secure wearing the respirator. DEWALT DC820KB battery Breathing the fresh air was an added bonus. There was a little distortion of my peripheral vision caused by the bubble face shield but looking straight on was fine. I had just begun turning some spindles for a cradle and things were progressing well. I had 35 of these to turn. About an hour and a half into the session my neck was getting stiff...the weight of the respirator the culprit. Standing relatively still with my head in about the same position spindle after spindle was taking it's toll. I removed the respirator and replaced it with my face shield and I immediately felt better. DEWALT DC821KA battery

Working around the rest of the shop was much better. I was able to perform all sorts of other tasks without a problem. DEWALT DC823B battery Again the annoying thing was the hose pushing the hat down on my face. I did find that it could get warm under the shroud if I was exerting myself. The air blowing in front of my face stayed cool but I would start to perspire around my neck and shoulders under the shroud. DEWALT DC823KA battery

Over the course of the next few turning sessions I again tried to to wear the respirator and each time after a couple of hours I had to take it off. Maybe it's just these old bones. I also ran into a low battery situation when I left it for a week after using it for about 4 hours. Upon testing the airflow prior to using the respirator, the sitting around had caused the battery to drain and the flow was under the required lever. I had to forego using the respirator until the next day. DEWALT DC825B battery

Accessories: Right after I completed this review I found a company, Airware America, that sells replacement parts for the Triton. In addition to the replacements they offer stick on overlays which can be used with the Triton as well as other facemasks. Since they are not made specifically for the Triton they don't fit perfectly, but they do fit well enough for use and should greatly extend the usable life of the faceshield. DEWALT DC825KA battery

Conclusion:
Safety isn't free and the Triton Powered Respirator like most safety devices causes the user some inconveniences. Compared to a face shield it costs more, weighs more, is hotter to wear, and causes more fatigue. What you get in return is clean lungs, your sight, your hearing, and few less bumps on the noggin. That's a fair trade if you ask me. DEWALT DC825KB battery

I've been in contact with Triton USA and they assure me that a new more flexible hose with quick connect fittings is on the way. The current hose is the biggest problem with the respirator. If they can solve that issue and come up with a quicker/smarter way to charge the batteries or even package the batteries without the motor to reduce cost, then they will have a real winner here.

The Triton "TROS" Random Orbit Sander is one of a number of new products to be released by Triton under the new ownership of Global Machinery Company (GMC). Given that Triton were previously well-known for innovative power tool products, and GMC were known for lower-cost tools designed for the DIY or enthusiast user (although they do also have a trade quality line), it will be interesting to see the direction Triton as an entity itself will go under the new leadership of GMC.

As mentioned, the TROS is a new product to be released under the Triton label, along with several other new products which we hope to review soon. So let's see what this new random orbit sander (ROS) has to offer. DEWALT DC925KA battery

Out of the Box
If you decide to purchase the Triton TROS sander from a hardware store, you should be able to find it easily as the box is bright and eye catching. But usually, this is the first thing to go in the bin after you get it home! Inside the box you will find another box... well, a hardened plastic molded case at least, which holds the TROS sander, attachments and manual. DEWALT DC925KB battery

The full-color manual provides all the instructions you will need. Given that these sanders are fairly basic feature-wise, the manual isn't a brick, rather, a brief concise outline on operation, features and maintenance required to keep your sanding working in optimum condition. DEWALT DC925VA battery

Now, with regard to the plastic case, regular readers will know that I do like to retain these cases and find them useful. They keep everything together and make transporting the sander easy, and they provide that additional bit of protection against bumps and scratches during transportation, but if you don't like keeping cases, you can find another use for it, or just throw it away. Your call. DEWALT DC988VA battery

Unlike some plastic cases, once you take the tool out, you can never get it to fit back in! Not a real problem with this case. There seems to be enough relief to fit everything back in, stuff the power cord in and lower and lock the lid without causing a world war between you and your tool case. DEWALT DC989KA battery

The Triton TROS Sander
The TROS sander is a 5" (125mm) random orbit sander. The base takes standard 5" hook and loop sandpaper discs. DEWALT DC989VA battery These are the velcro-attached type discs as opposed to the stick-on ones which are difficult to remove (and rarely seen except on heavier stationary sanding machines). Most ROSs use the hook and loop type for quick and easy addition and removal of sanding discs. The sander base and sanding discs have eight 10mm holes around their circumference to aid in dust extraction. These are of a standard size and configuration and designed to allow you to use most 5" replacement sanding discs on the market, so sourcing replacement sandpaper discs should pose no problem at all. DEWALT DC998KB battery

The TROS features a 275w motor to spin the sanding discs. DEWALT DCD690KL battery This is not the most powerful random orbit sander available. You can readily find models with twice as much power, however, these are not generally of the "palm" holding type, having front and rear handles to better hold the tool to handle the larger power on offer. At 275 watts however, the TROS is comparable in motor size to many other palm grasp random orbit sanders on the market. DEWALT DCD760B battery

Actually, this sander will look very familiar to those who have some of the DeWalt 5" ROSs. DEWALT DCD775B battery It's not the same design, but they do look similar in shape and features. These sanders are designed primarily as finish sanders rather than sanders designed to remove a lot of material fast. If this is what you are after, one of the 500w+ ROSs would be better suited to the task. In saying that, however, you can remove material relatively fast using the TROS sander with an aggressive sanding pad fitted (60 grit or so). DEWALT DCD920B2 battery

In fact, the motor is powerful enough, DEWALT DCD925 battery you just have to be careful not to apply too much pressure to the item you are sanding as the motor can struggle under heavy load. However, proper use should dictate that very little pressure should be applied anyway. You should apply light pressure, really the weight of the sander itself provides sufficient pressure, and allow the sandpaper to do the work. For fast material removal use a coarser grit paper with light pressure, not a finer grit with more pressure. You can bog down the motor on the TROS with excessive pressure, but as mentioned, this is not how to use a sander properly. If you need to apply that much pressure to remove material you are using the wrong type of sander... try a belt sander instead. DEWALT DCD925B2 battery

The TROS is best suited to finish sanding or lighter-duty initial sanding of joints. DEWALT DCD940KX battery It can be used equally well for sanding flaking paint on a variety of surfaces, including metal, but undertake precautions relevant to the material you are sanding, i.e. you should not be sanding materials with asbestos fibers or similar, and for sanding metal surfaces, ensure there is no wood dust or other combustible material in the collection bag before you begin. DEWALT DCD950B battery

The motor provides a no load speed of between 1200-1900 RPM. DEWALT DCD950KX battery I find the tool's power is suitable for all types of finish sanding of wood joints and wood surfaces. I found I used it often for sanding down pocket holes plugs or counter-bored plugs level with the surrounding surface as this tool is light, easy to grasp and works great for this task. It's also very handy for pocket hole joint sanding. DEWALT DCD950VX battery

Although the pocket holes generally create a flush joint on one face, DEWALT DCD959KX battery often you need just that slight bit of finish sanding to remove any visible dried glue or to ensure the joint is perfectly flush. There are many other uses for such a sander of course. The random orbit action generally produces a nice smooth finish free of swirl marks or cross-grain scratches that can occur with other sander types, however, different wood species will display different results in this regard, some worse than others. It worked fine for panel sanding, general board sanding and edge sanding. In general I managed to achieve a good finish on most wood types. The key is using the appropriate grit sandpaper for the task, and then going through the grit grades until all marks are no longer readily visible. At a 600 grit finish, I noticed few problems.
