Triton TRA001 micro adjust problems

I have the same router mounted in a table, as well.

One of the handles has a button that you either push in, or pop out (I can’t remember which) which engages the lead screw. If you can move it up and down freely, you’re in the wrong setting. It should only move if you rotate the handle.

I know this thread is a year old, but I had the same issue. The fix is to completely disassemble the router and clean the rack and pinion with an awl. I went through a year of frustration with this router and was ready to hold an “Office Space” baseball bat ritual. It was full of sawdust and a complete cleaning really fixed everything. Next time I’ll definitely buy a router lift to avoid the four-hour disassembly, cleaning, and re-assembly.

Thanks so much for the info, I have just been dealing with this and I know I should have sent it in but now I have a project for a rainy day. Thanks again!

The only thing I can think is to check that the “mode” (not sure what the actual name is) button embedded in the handle is flush with the outside of the handle. Then test that you can wind the bit up or down by pulling in the locking ring on the inside area of the handle while turning the handle. If you can do this then the above table winder should work.
