I am incredibly impressed with the engineering and build quality of this tool. In the hand, it feels like it should cost 3X what it does. I imagine this thing will last a lifetime, although I could see a point where the wheels might need replacing after many years of heavy use. My only thought after using it briefly, is that including some adjustment (or a lighter spring) on the wheel pressure might make for a smoother experience and easier feed. All in all, so much better than feather boards for safety and accurate cuts.
This is the best table saw fence system on the market. I'm beyond pleased with this purchase, and I highly recommend it to any and all table saw owners
I purchased a Harvey Sliding table for my old Delta Unisaw. What a dream. It is installed easily and squared up in minutes. I don't know how I got along before. The packaging is excellent and the order even included hex wrenches. All the hardware is top quality and the fit and finish of the sliding table and miter is outstanding. Put me down as impressed. I also ordered a cast iron top for my router table which I installed today. A nickel-plated beauty.
Solid components with impeccable design and functional. Endless possibilities and precise micro adjustments make this tool invaluable
Awesome product! Heavy, Built like a tank. Much larger and heavier than expected. Well designed and Works GREAT. Very happy with my purchase. Worth the money, although the shipping charges are a tad high.
From the first time I saw this fence I knew I wanted one. It solved all of the issues I had with my old fence and more. The ball-bearing guides are smooth and make fine adjustments so much easier than the old tap,tap,tap...damn! tap,tap,tap...damn! method I used to have to use. Installation was easy and it fit perfect on my Laguna F3. I recommend watching the installation video from Harvey. Rails and fence are well made and feel like they will hold up for years. So far it is well worth the money.
Solid build.
Easy installation.
Only issue was missing nuts for M10 bolts. Not to worry, had some in my shop. Used a 5/8 inch aluminum bar stock shim to avoid having to cut any tubes on my SawStop ICS. Love it. Might be good to include the locking knob from the MG-36 pro miter gauge to secure at dead zero but that is style points.
This saw is a beast! I’ve had it set up for about a week now and have zero regrets going with Harvey. The big eye rip fence is unbelievable and the 31 1/2” table depth is awesome for crosscutting with the mg36. The motor handled 8/4 walnut without bogging down. My only complaint is the saw shipped with some generic 40t blade instead of the destroyer bg52 as advertised. I’ve reached out via email and have yet to hear back
Great service
so; far beautiful machine, just un crated, need a different plug for my set up but packaging was amazing, easy to remove from the pallet, (one man show). Only thing no instruction manual, but will get online.
well built, easy to assemble, lifting/lowering mechanism works great, rolls smoothly. Will be buying for other stationary shop tools.
The saw is everything I expected except the legs on the extension table are pretty flimsy.
This is a first class band saw and I’m very excited to have something this nice! Set up took a little longer than I expected since I bought the spider base and had to cut some squares of plywood to raise the feet up a bit so the bottom bandsaw door would clear the cylinder and open. No biggie
Had to cut several strips of 1" material. Works great and the craftsmanship is great. This is a welcome addition to the shop.
This table saw is not only a power house this saw is accurate and amazing. The fit and finish of the parts is above and beyond the other saws on the market.
Packaging, design, feel, functionality and safety. This thing has it all. I had recently returned a $40 t-slot thin rip guide from amazon which worked fine for repeatable cut sizing, but did nothing for safety and accuracy. Having to push your material from three different planes can be challenging and dangerous no matter how safe you think you’re being, so this eliminates one of those planes stopping potential kick backs. I can’t wait to use this more and definitely appreciate the work put into designing this!
This riving knife does a great job of eliminating kick back. It’s not only engineered to perfection it’s also so beautiful.
The big eye fence system is a dramatic improvement over other T style fences without a doubt, however, if installing on a Sawstop, it is anything but straightforward bolt on, you will have to modify the bolts and/or drill new holes in the casting in order to get the rails low enough to not interfere with the miter slots, the mounting holes must be 26 mm minimum from the top to the center of the hole.
The destroyer rip blade is amazing. Rips are so smooth you can't see a swirl anywhere.
The saw is everything I’d hoped it would be. Hands down the best piece of woodworking equipment I’ve ever owned. Couldn’t be happier.
Overall this is a very well built cabinet saw. Two things that I feel could be improved are the upper dust collection doesn't work well and I am using a 1200 CFM collector. The other thing is the right side extension wing is made out of a thin piece of poorly edgebanded melamine. This is out of character for a saw that is this well built and highly finished. A cast iron right side should be included even if it costs more. I have only made a few cuts so far but I am impressed with the quality and performance of this saw. Well done, Harvey. I will be looking at your lathe next.
Solidly engineered and manufactured. it had me as soon as I uncrated it and saw the lifting eyes built right into the machine. Love the adjustable vacuum pressure and remote control on/off fobs.
pros: sturdy table, low noise, passed the nickel test (very low vibrations), large infeed table, emergency stop is excellent, miter gauge is excellent, over all I feel I got value in this purchase.
cons: my only issue is the fence setup, not simple , there was a few scratches on the cabinet.
yes I would recommend it to a friend
Maybe I should have purchased the the more expensive fence, but that was $800.00 more
Very happy with the saw. The delivery came without a hitch. As noted by many previous owners the manual is a bit sparse when it comes to directions, however, there a many assembley videos available on youtube that helped me get through the process. The saw arrived along with period of very cold weather and my "shop" is in the garage and it has been a bit to cold to do much other than put the saw together. Looking forward to my first project as soon as the garage becomes a bit warmer.
