For many woodworkers, rust on bandsaws has long been a source of frustration. About ten years ago, Harvey began addressing this challenge by incorporating the TiN PVD Coating technology into products, reducing wear and rust on table saw surfaces.

However, Harvey is always striving for perfection. Five years ago, we started exploring the nickel plating technology. After countless tests on the process and formulation, we have successfully implemented optimal nickel plating technology on the tabletop, the cast iron flywheel and the Rack and Pinion Table Tilting System within the bandsaws, ensuring a literally rust-free experience for users by completely eliminating issues of wear and rust.

This superior nickel plating solution adopts the autocatalytic plating process, combining with a mid-phosphorus chemical nickel formula, significantly enhances wear resistance and rust prevention capabilities, resulting in a smoother and more lustrous finish.

Furthermore, the nickel-plated table surfaces achieved an impressive hardness of 500HV - 700HV, considerably improving their wear resistance. Extensive friction tests using wooden blocks consistently demonstrated that the nickel layer effectively protected the table surface.

We conducted a series of high-temperature and strong acid corrosion tests to evaluate the longevity of the nickel-plated surfaces. The results indicated that, under normal usage conditions, the nickel-plated surfaces could maintain their rust prevention performance for years. Notably, even in highly humid working environments, they exhibited exceptional rust prevention capabilities.

We are confident that the AMBASSADOR C14Pro Stain-less Bandsaw represents the ultimate solution to the rust problem in bandsaws. Guided by our steadfast philosophy that "Good Enough is Not Enough," this bandsaw exemplifies our unwavering dedication to innovation and precision.

Nickel-plated worktable

A substantial 19-3/4" x 15-3/4" cast iron table offers a smooth surface for precise work.

The worktable undergoes a chemical nickel-plating process that bonds the nickel layer thickly to the base material, reaching an impressive hardness range of 500 HV to 700 HV, significantly enhancing its durability and resistance to corrosion and wear. Extensive friction tests using wooden blocks consistently demonstrated that the nickel layer can effectively protected the table surface.

Additionally, we performed a series of tests involving high temperatures and strong acids to determine the longevity of the nickel-plated surfaces. The results showed that, under normal conditions, the nickel-plated surfaces could retain their rust-preventive properties for many years. Impressively, they also exhibited excellent rust prevention in highly humid work environments.

Impressively, they also exhibited excellent rust prevention in highly humid work environments.This ensures rust resistance and longevity, making the flywheels maintenance-free for rust prevention.

The reinforced solid steel frame provides remarkable rigidity and stability, enhancing durability and performance under the most demanding conditions.

Nickel-plated Cast lron Rack and Pinion Table Tilting System

Tilting Table: Precisely tilt the worktable from 45 degrees to -15 degrees using a Rack and Pinion Table Tilting System. Gas pistons assist in micro-adjustments, making the process smooth and straightforward.

The nickel plating of the entire Cast lron Rack and Pinion Table Tilting System offers enhanced resistance to corrosion and wear, making the C14Pro virtually maintenance-free for rust prevention.

We carried out a series of high-temperature and strong acid corrosion tests to assess the durability of the nickel-plated components. The findings revealed that, under typical usage conditions, the nickel-plated surfaces could sustain their rust prevention performance for years. Remarkably, even in extremely humid working environments, they demonstrated outstanding rust prevention capabilities.
