I’m ecstatic with the new overhead guard. It’s a tremendous improvement in dust extraction and makes changing saw blades and Irving knives so much easier.
The base is very sturdy and is straightforward to assemble. The mechanism to raise and lower the wheels works well with the foot pedal. The saw is easy to move with the wheels engaged and stable when they are retracted.
I purchased the HW110TC 52 Pro. I have absolutely no regrets other than I didn’t purchase it sooner. I have a nickel plated cast-iron top, which is extremely well-made having the longer table top. It’s nice because it allows me to make cuts on bigger pieces when trying to make table tops and so forth it is a 3 hp saw which is not the biggest by any means but it works without hesitate of any kind on any wood. I have used it on. I also have the Big Eye fence. Which is a pure joy to use the micro adjustments on it make it really nice when you’re trying to make precise cuts and the fact that it does not have a knob sticking out and catching on your clothes is a a real bonus and being able to see the measurements through the glass window and see them clearly is also very nice. I also have the motor gauge which was a real bonus for me. It worked extremely well for the money there are other sources you can have that cost as much or more and I don’t believe can compare to the quality. I have a friend who purchased a saw stop before I got my table, saw and wished he had made some other choices. There are more expensive tiles out there, but for the money, I don’t believe in this price range you can find anything that can compare. I am absolutely pleased with my purchase would purchase again and feel certain I will purchase other woodworking tools from Harvey and Bridge city tools in the near future. I highly recommend her sauce as a matter of fact, I also own a Harvey band saw you will be unhappy with their customer service as it second to none for me and an issue that I had with a dust collection after a very brief conversation on the phone and a couple of pictures they simply replaced it as I said you won’t go wrong if you purchase a saw from them
So far I was very impressed from unboxing to installation. From delivery to putting together, all pieces came with clear directions in nice packaging. Not only the product , but the presentation is thought about. I was very impressed with the calibration out of the box. The saw was within .001 of an inch. Good enough is not enough is a very true statement with this company. I had one issue with a left side imperial tape that was incorrectly printed. I sent an email and within 20 minutes had a response asking for a picture of the shipping label in the box for there records and my shipping address to send a replacement tape to. Excellent customer service. I can’t recommend this company any more so far. Thank you.
The T 40 Turbo lathe is the best lathe I have had the opportunity to use have not had it long enough to do any big project yet but getting the legs ,extension bed and out board tool rest was the best move I made can't wait to do a bowl and outher projects
Adding the cast iron legs to my lathe freed up my workbench for other things and make the lathe more solid and look complete great addition to my shop
The Bed extension fits great and the tail stock moves smoothly, and the extension really adds to the versatility of the lathe
Purchased the Big Eye Fence to replace the fence that came with my Grizzly table saw. The accuracy and control are night and day between the fences. My only complaint is the new fence and rail are aluminum and now I have to come up with a new solution for my magnetic accessories.
Put on a Grizzly bandsaw only minor alterations.
Outstanding quality I wish I did this a long time ago.'
Thanks HARVEY
From packaging, Instructions, Assembly and Use, this thing is a Cadillac! As for Customer Service... Not so great... Have sent 2 emails with questions about 3 weeks ago with no response... Saw: A+, Customer Service: D-
I have two Spider Mobile Bases. One for the Band saw and one for the Table Saw....and I highly recommend you get the base...especially if you have to constantly move them, like I do; the saw is in my garage and needs to be moved everytime I want to use it (and move the car)
I’ve never owned a table saw that is this beautiful this heavy duty in this accurate it is so nice. I don’t want to use it, but I will. I think they are making the best tools when it comes to table saw
What can I say about this? It works perfect beautiful to look at very accurate. Easy to install made of heavy duty aluminum. I know I made a bright purchase.
It's remarkable that the S-10 is cheaper than the S-12 was and has more features. Having the stock blade guard on is inconvenient for blade changes or moving the fence to the other side of the saw. The S-10 eliminates that and has a simple switch to unlock and rotate the head out of the way. the base is near the router table, but it can slide on the base to get out of the way. Very nice feature that I don't believe the S-12 (or other overhead guards) have. My dust collection is tied to the bottom connector and the overhead so this has completely eliminated all fine dust emissions from my table saw. Larger dust particles can still make their way out on the table but they are certainly not in the air that you breathe. I would recommend this as a 'buy once cry once'. And given how well this thing is finished I don't foresee it ever rusting so it will hold its value without a problem.
The Shark S-10 does a great job capturing the dust that comes out of the blade slot and lands on the table or me when making cuts. It’s really 5 stars but realize that for some thinner width cuts you have to swing it out of the way which is more frequent than you might think. But for most typical cuts that have several inches between the fence and the blade it’s an excellent way to reduce that ejected dust cloud. The construction is top notch and heavy duty and it’s very easy to use. I highly recommend it and am glad I bought it.
I've been working with wood for over 40 years. Just a hobby for now. I finally decided to purchase the Big Eye Fence system, and it is absolutely great. It was simple to set up and is simple to use. Once it is dialed in, it is ridiculously accurate. No more bumping fence into position, only to have it move as you clamp it down. Just move fence to desired measurement using the indicator and lock it down. That's it. It truly is a game changer when it comes to fences and accuracy.
I was so impressed by the thought and engineering that went into it, that I also ordered and received the Harvey MG-36 Pro (and will review that as well, once I have some time with it).
If you're on the fence about ordering the Big Eye Fence system, just do it. I think you'll be extremely happy with it.

Make sure you understand this is made for Harveys sliding table - it doesn’t fit a standard T-track - at least not as it is offered - maybe there is an option for a different std T base - i am in discussions with very helpful customer service ((Andrew) - I bought it planning on using it on a std T track for high pieces of wood to work on - not for my table saw - probably the wrong intent. Regardless, it is amazingly well constructed and designed - like a piece of art. Maybe should be framed 😂. Amazingly well packaged- clearly a lot of thought went into it and the price reflects it. The shipping cost is prohibitively OUTRAGEOUS!
The Harvey COMPASS Router Table System is exceptionally well built and designed with precision. The heavy-duty construction provides excellent stability, smooth tabletop and accurate fence system make routing clean and controlled. Assembly is straightforward and the overall fit and finish are exceptional. A premium router table that delivers professional-level performance and is a solid investment. Buy once, cry once.
