Received lathe in good time, we'll packaged everything there have it set up but haven't used it yet as wood working is done later in the year for me. By the looks of lathe build should be an excellent machine!!
I have a Sawstop professional tablesaw and was finding a need for the ability to break down sheet goods a lot easier, fast and repeat the same cuts due to many cabinet making jobs. I didn't have the space for a full sized sliding tablesaw and therefore had two options, either the Sawstop or Harvey Attachment. I'm very please to say that the Harvey didn't disappoint. Quality build, smooth operation, easy to install, great value for the price point. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an accurate sliding tablesaw attachment who doesn't have the space or maybe the money for a full sized sliding table saw. I have no regrets on this purchase. Good job Harvey!
Thing of beauty, precision and safety. Once you get it calibrated. Easy install onto my Sawstop PCS. Great post-sale customer support.
I purchased this product from Harvey so that I can customize the size exactly to my drill press. It is so easy to cut a piece of ply and then attach the four corners/wheels to create a sturdy mobile base vs. fussing with the angle brackets and multiple bolts other mfg provide. Everything in my shop is on wheels and this base lets me do that quickly and cost effectively. I highly recommend.
Love the Compass. Would love to have a Harvey saw but most of your equipment while excellent is also out of range for regular woodworkers. I will continue to save up again to purchase something else from Harvey. Love the Compass just what I needed. Thankyou!
Look - full disclosure...I am an enthusiastic woodworker, but not very good. I do, however, consider myself pretty knowledgeable and safety conscious.
The Compass RG-2 is ridiculously easy to use and is super solid with only a firm turn of the knobs. The best safety equipment is quick and easy to use. I have zero reason not to reach for it - every time (it's appropriate).
Treat yourself to one.
I'm very happy with the purchase. I like how accurate this saw is, I look forward to having this for many years.
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
