About this deal
The Triton TDJ600 is very safe to use. All the action is “hidden” if you want to use that word. That makes it very hard for things to go wrong. On top of that: A dust port makes it possible to connect the tool to a shop vac or a simple bag. That’s good to have since working in a clean shop is safer and also nicer;

Compared to other jointing machines the DDF 40 makes great economic sense, as long term there are significant savings by using standard wooden dowels compared to other more expensive alternatives. The base is perfectly square when the fence is at 90 degrees. Thanks to that, the tool delivers perpendicular cuts every time;Obviously, you want to be fully in control, and the tool offers great balance and ergonomics to provide that control. The front bale handle is big and grippy, and the body is compact enough to wrap your hand around. The anti-slip pins (or jig teeth) on the front plate can be adjusted to that you’re guaranteed that the tool won’t slip or move while you make the cuts.
What about depth? It can be set at different levels, ranging from 0 to 1-1/2 inches. Matching the dowel’s length is very important to obtain a reliable joint. If the cut is too deep, you risk the dowel sliding in further than needed when joining the second piece, this resulting in an imbalanced and weaker connection. The TDJ600 is a pretty compact tool, and it only weighs around 6 lbs. That makes it easy to handle, even for extended usage;The ergonomic motor housing, with a moulded grip at the front and a hump at the rear, gives the operator a perfect hold no matter what the job, while ensuring the ideal transmission of force to the machine. Another important area to evaluate is a tool’s versatility. Does the TDJ600 allow the required adjustments for different tasks? As mentioned before, the tool has a handle on top of it that allows you better control. To be honest, most of the time you’ll want to place your hand on the fence for additional stability. The handle comes in handy (you’ll pardon the pun) when using the tool vertically.
