This fence system is amazing. The fence stays in place when the lockdown is engaged. You don’t have to allow for the slight movement you get with other fences as you move the handle into the lock position. I was surprised how much I use the fine adjustment wheel and the stops. The stops are very handy if you have to change the fence position and then return to a previous spot. And there are four of them. The track on the top works perfectly for my Jessum guides. A couple of washers for shims and it works perfectly. I thought it was funny when I saw in Fine woodworking Magazine how they touted the breakthrough on the Sawstop introducing a fence that works in both a high and low position. It looks like Sawstop copied the Harvey fence. Easy to install too
Who knew that a zero clearance insert could be improved. All the ones I’ve used worked fine but they move slightly when placed in the throat of the saw. This causes the original cut in the plate to widen. Harvey’s plate has small nylon set screws on the sides. Once the plate is adjusted, it goes in tight and always in the same position. You can’t see the screws when looking on their website so I included a picture
These arrived quickly and in perfect shape. It will be so nice to have a spare set to speed up the filter service.
I have a Jet 14" bandsaw with the Jet fence. It would have been nice to have some installation instructions. I am mechanically inclined and was able to install by viewing pictures online. I have the Big Eye fence on my 3HP Harvey cabinet saw and fell in love with the functionality right away. Thank you for extending this fence to the bandsaw.
I replaced my 34 year old table saw after the motor finally gave out. The Harvey Spider Mobile Base was part of my purxchase. I am so glad I purchased it! Very well built and it supports my new saw with no problem. Its was worth the money!❤️❤️😊😊
I love this thing. Ill never buy another featherboard. Price is a little much but it is robust and expect to get my value from it
