When I needed a new belt sander, I checked out the last FW roundup and the Triton 3×21 looks fantastic. I had an old Ryobi (my only Ryobi tool) that lasted almost 20 years and though generally Ryobi tools are not great, it had a good “flat” feel for me similar to an old Bosch that always worked better for me than some of the Makita and Porter Cables I tried. The Triton looked similar, and even though it was back ordered when I ordered from Rockler in April, and it was out of stock everywhere, but I figured it’s worth waiting if I keep the tool a long time. (Obviously I’m a hobbyist if I (a) use a belt sander but (b) can make do without one for months!)

Now I have no idea when it will come. Rockler has no update and Triton has been unresponsive on their online contact form and Twitter. Has anyone out there gotten one of these in the past few months?
