Highly recommend the well engineered product
Easy install, smaller frame and components, lifts from blade with ease, tilts away from the table with ease. Dust collection keeps the table clean. Very impressed with this unit. Big shout out to Gabriel in the customer service dept. Thank you
This swiveling extension table is ideal for all the tasks that the table saw can handle. Furthermore, with the router table mounted on the table, I no longer have any obstruction to using the router extension table.
Like everything Harvey makes, these Roller Guides are well conceived so that they operate simply and flawlessly. They are built for serious work and like my Compass Mitre Slide and G700 Dust Processor will likely outlast me.
The machine itself is excellent and very well made, as you can tell just by looking at the construction. However, I have two observations: the table insert is a knucckle buster, and I never did get the insert installed. Swapped out the spring set up and replaced with a new brass sloted bolt and wing nut. No cussing , just insert and tighten the wing nut. Second, the blade guard comes down so far that it blocks any pencled cut lines, and have to raise same. Other than that, highly recommended!
I really like the machine. Super convenient footprint; I built a bench overtop. Great suction… much more on full power than my old Grizzly 1.5 HP cyclone. Easy dust bag collection. My only beef is a quibble really is that I’d like the main shutoff switch to be on the front of the machine not the back so I can turn it off without having to reach way in behind the bench I built it under.
A wonderful table, every piece feels substantial and well made/
De grande qualité et la construction de grande qualité et jlen suis très satisfait de mon achat
There’s no regret when I bought this machine and I think it’s a very easy and reliable model to use
Overall the product is ok. It does what it has to do. Easy to assemble and to use. My only concern is the shock that holds the assembly over the saw. The shock seems to be not strong enough to hold the unit, so it won’t stay up… didn’t find any adjustment on the shock…. Bit annoying…
Purchased a 3hp saw, router table, fence, s12 overhead. Great products, set up took a bit but everything fit together well. One small issue with the S-12 and Gabriel from customer service, spent the time and effort to make sure the issue was solved perfectly. As they say you get what you pay for and these tools are defiantly worth the money. Harvey Tools 5 Stars, Gabriel from Customer Service 6 Stars.
I purchased a Table Saw, Router table, Router Fence, and S12. Have had a chance to use everything and they say you get what you pay for. That is exactly true these tools are amongst the best I have owned and used.
Had an issue with the S-12 Overhead Dust Arm, and ending up talking to Gabriel in Customer Service, he did an exellent job in trying to solve the small problem, spent numerous emails and phone calls working towards a solution. Problem was solved and it was due to Gabriels effort. Harvey 5 stars Gabriel 6 stars. Thank you very much for the excellent service and products
I received my table saw and dust collector in a very good package and was impressed how thinks are pack and organize! Very happy with the saw and the big eye rip fence ! Well done , and can’t wait to start my projects ! Thank you
I had trouble getting fitted to the table saw guide. Once i sanded the insert piece on both sides and bottom i was able to fit it properly. It looks well made and works as designed. Very pleased
Harvey Company / Andrew more than met my expectation on delivery, placement of the machine, easy set-up and performance on operation.
Thanks,
I received my Harvey Shark S-12S overhead guard. I installed it on a Craftex cabinet saw. It was easy to install and it is very well built. It is heavy duty and robust. The install well easy as i had already upgraded my saw with the Harvey Big Eye fence and the mounting holes were already in the rear rail. It captures much of the dust from the table top. I will update the review after i had some time to work with it but i feel it is an investment well worth the price.
This mobile base is awesome, easy to move saw around even on uneven ground. The directions for setup could be better as well as maybe showing how far to adjust base setup for each series of saws. Having marks on it for each series of saws would be so helpful. Also, I am in a garage and I did have to use a small piece of 1/8” plywood to put under one corner to try and get saw level. Could not get it to level perfectly because if you put too big of a piece of wood under the levelling feet you cannot get the base to lock down.
Setup was relatively easy. Smooth sliding and deadly accurate. Highly recommend if you are looking for an upgrade.
After owning and using a number of table saws over the years (contractor and cabinet), I finally felt it was time to treat myself by taking the plunge and try a quality cabinet saw. I watched hours of video and read too many reviews to mention and decided I’d purchase the Harvey HWC110LC36P. I am so very happy with that decision.
The saw arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. The quality of the saw, its components and accessories and even the instruction manuals are top quality. Who even provides manuals these days let alone quality ones printed on heavy paper in aesthetically pleasing envelops!
I’ve used the saw for over a month now and it performs perfectly, making accurate cuts right “out of the box” without needing any adjustments. The quality and functionality of the rip fence and mitre gauge, both supplied with the saw, are unparalleled in my humble opinion.
I am extremely pleased with the quality and functionality of this table saw. If I could mention one small issue I wish was disclosed in Harvey's literature. The saw comes equipped with a 5-20P electrical plug. I wish I had known that before the saw arrived. It isn’t a huge issue, only needing to change the outlet, but it did delay me being able to use the saw for an extra day.
I would absolutely recommend the Harvey “Alpha” saw! Now saving up for a Harvey router table!

When the saw arrived, the first thing I noted was that the packaging of the unit was impressive.
The saw was easy to set up and I had it running in no time. Very simple to install the blade. The COMPASS RG-1/RG-2 roller guide is impressive. This alone should be mandatory in every wood workers shop.
The SPIDER M-1500/M-1500Pro mobile base unit is incredible. Without a doubt the best mobile base I have used. This unit will last forever.
Simply stated, this bandsaw has exceeded my expectations in all areas. This unit gets the "BUY" recommendation.
