Everything about the ST-1500 sliding table is superior to it's competitors. I have either owned or looked closely at the ST-1500 competitors ("G" for cheaper and "SS" for comparable price) and now having installed and used the ST-1500 I can state without reservation that the Harvey is superior in every way. It's fit and finish is impeccable. Everything works smoothly without play and just feels more durable. So far it has been a delight to use. I had some contact with the company before I bought this slider and they were very helpful and responsive.
Works good now I can use thinner blades
Accurate fence and dead flat top
Enjoy the ease once you get it set, glides smooth as silk.
So far so good. Upgraded from a SawStop Revolution motre guage which had issues locking.
This guage is rock clsolid, has extremly positive clicks at commonly used angles. And the micro-adjust on the stop block is AMAZING. 100% this os the best mitre guage on the market hands-down.
Haven't really had a chance to use the fence. However, it moves GREAT on the mounts. Locks down very tightly. The micro adjust could be a little finer in the micro part of the adjust. Will take a little getting used to. There are 2 scale view ports on the fence. I guess only one is used and the other just sits there. Not sure why there are 2.
Just received my new saw and have, finally, finished assembling. Assembly was quite a process. Some of it takes 2 people. Instructions were mostly good. In retrospect some of the items were out of order. Finished product is outstanding - so far. I really haven't had a chance to use the saw..that starts soon, but the quality is great! The assembly process ensures one is intimately familiar with the product, definitely not a bad thing. If I have an issue, I definitely know where to look and how to resolve.
I’ve been hand carrying my Powermatic mortiser from the floor in the corner of my shop to my bench when needed. This horrified my wife given its weight and my 70 year old back. So she bought me this stand and it works perfectly with the mortiser! Very mobile and yet very stable when dropped on four feet. This is a very high quality stand and I can praise it enough!
The fence is absolutely incredible. Super high quality! I had to do a little more modification to my saw to make it work, but that was largely due to my own inaccuracies while drilling according to the provided plans (my drill bit wandered off the mark). That aside, everything else went together wonderfully! I can't wait to get the sliding table attachment next!
My Alpha series table saw arrived exactly as described and the build quality exceeded my expectations. When I reached out to customer service about a promotional item I hadn’t received, they handled it quickly and made it right without any hassle. Highly recommend Harvey — great product backed by even better customer support!
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.
I have been using the saw for about a week now, easy to use and am very please with the saw and fence system.
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
Very well designed. Easy to use and works very well. Exactly what I needed for cross cuts.
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.
