It is the best dust collection system you will ever have.
I bought one for my bandsaw and loved it so much that I picked one up for my Sawstop table saw not knowing if it would work and it fit perfect and one for my drill press. Typical Harvey tool, went together effortlessly and they all roll extremely smoothly even on my uneven floor.
Unreal power. I broke down 8 sheets of plywood for a project and barely had any dust to clean up on the table. The floor was almost spotless. This machine is incredible and well worth the price. It's a game changer. It also sounds like a jet starting up, which my boys think is really cool
I have used a Biesemeyer overhead guard on my Unisaw for over 40 years. It worked well, until the last few years as I have gotten older. There are times when the guard in in the way & needs to be removed. The last few years, removing the Biesemeyer became almost impossible for me to move out of the way. After seeing the Harvey Shark S-10 overhead guard & how it would just swing out of the way, I had to have one. Then I had to get it mounted to my Unisaw. I did not need the very nicely designed sliding mount, but I did use it. In my install, I did not use the support leg. Harvey needs to offer a solid mount option for those that do not need the sliding mount option. The blade guard is also also much easier to use than the Biesemeyer.
I have a Sawstop PCS table saw and the S-10 was very easy to install. The only modification was three 9/16" holes in the rear rail. Install only took an hour with a little more time for adjustments. The dust collection is very good and I'm very pleased with the ease of use.
I’ve been using these dust liners for a while now, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. The material is thick and durable, holding up well even with heavy, continuous use in my workshop. Installation is quick and hassle-free, and the fit is perfect with no leaks or slipping.
Absolutely impressed with harvey tools across the board... Ii first purchased the Harvey ambassador bandsaw to replace my Laguna last year and was impressed on all the attention to detail so I decided to replace my Grizzly 3hp cabinet saw with the alpha hw110s 52... night and day difference on accuracy and dust removal... and again... the attention to details. The only thing I have found i would change or add to would be leg supports. They can easily be bumped and moved around making the table out of level if repositioned accidentally... I will remedy mine with a cabinet underneath for better support. That being said, if the legs fell off the dang thing I would still be blown away by your saw! Thank you for making such fine craftsmanship! I will continue to replace my tools with Harvey one tool at a time.
Great tool. Assembly took a little guess work. Could be more detail on each of the washers etc GO?? I figured it out - but directions could be clearer
I am enjoying it. Square out of the box!
Bravo and congratulations!
Thx. Matt Karr
Received my new lathe. Very heavy duty. Still setting it up. Can’t wait to turn with it.
Recieved this right before a prolonged trip, so haven't used it. The packaging alone screams "quality". I bought this because I am contemplating an Alpha table saw and wanted to see Harvey's quality. Based on my first impression of the RG-2 I will be buying the saw when the right sale comes along.
I tend to make a lot of cabinets and pre-finished plywood tends to be very difficult with my Diablo or feud blades. This saw blade cuts it so smooth. It is just unbelievable. I don't think I'll ever use another blade again
Just got my saw and it is very high quality. Highly recommend.
I have been wanting to get Harvey table saw for years! Finally was able to have the space and funds. I will have to say, I already have their compass router table with stand. The 4hp saws fit and finish are superb. Also, I ordered the M-1500pro mobile base and extension. Instructions and assembly video really helped out. I had it assembled in a day. The miter slots to the blade are dead on(0.01mm) from front to back, straight from the factory. Everything was dialed in perfectly from the factory, which made calibration EASY. From the miter gauge to the saw, to the big eye fence, nickel plating and the mobile base, I love it. Finally, I have my dream saw! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
This is a great tool. It's been a great addition to my shop. Easy to setup up and very accurate.
I have to say, I was floored by the quality of this tool. It seems like something NASA created for a space ship. So well engineered, precisely manufactured, just awesome. Because of the outrageous quality of this tool, I am now considering a Harvey table saw. If that is anywhere near the quality of this tool, it would be the most precise table saw ever!
The quality of this product is obvious as you unpack it from its high quality packaging. It works great on my 14 inch, Jet bandsaw. It makes resawing easy and, with the appropriate blade allows 5/4 lumber to be converted to two 1/2 inch drawer sides.
This rip fence system is above and beyond any other on the market. It is so simple to operate with a high degree of accuracy. The micro adjustment and "big eye" glass provide for precise cuts with little effort. I can't think of how it could be improved, but knowing Harvey Woodworking, they will continue to innovate and think of something else that will again impress an old guy like me.
I've been building cabinets and furniture for 30 years and have used many different makes and models of table saws. Harvey Tools' nickel-plated table saw is not only the highest quality I've worked with, but the best looking and engineered that I've seen. The pricing is decent for the quality of the machine. The only issue is the high costs of shipping to receive the unit. That said, I am extremely impressed with the table saw and hope that it will satisfy my needs for many years to come.
I received the zero clearance insert and cut the slot after removing the riving knife. Perfect cut, no clearance either side! Cutting veneer plywood reveals a splinter free nearly sanded edge. I do wish they would design one with replaceable slot, everything wears and it is an expensive part. A beautiful, well made part, which looks great with the red anodized face in my gold coated table.
I installed this on my SawStop Professional table saw and it's replacing the SawStop Overarm dust collection because it kept contacting my saw blade and it was a pain to change out blades. This unit solves so many of the issues I was having with the other unit. It does an amazing job collecting dust, but also makes it super easy to switch out saw blades. The extra piece that goes on the left side is perfect for mitered cuts and collecting dust on pieces when you're just shaving off a little bit. Overall I am thrilled with this Overhead Guard!
I know it is a strange title, but after getting a few Harvey tools, I am quickly learning that not only is it a well made tool, there are a lot of "little things' that make it outstanding. The distance between the scale and the indicator being microscopic the parallax error is 0 making every cut more accurate. The flip stops are SO useful when you do a bunch of repetitve cuts. You can do one, then do something different then return exactly back to that spot to make more cuts. When setting the rear rail, do not follow the instructions about aligning it to the right, I started at 4" in and then adjust to the final location.
Amazing saw. Dead accurate on delivery. Power to spare. Extraordinary piece of kit. Expensive, but worth it.
