Wasn't aware of the need of a piece of plywood but for the price and the fact it will fit anything I may buy a few more.
Absolutely amazing build quality and precision! Took a bit of work to dial it in, but love how well it fits and moves now that it's setup.
I've had my G700 for about 2 1/2 years now. After spending twice what G700 cost me for Ducting I know have a pretty dust free shop. Machine works great. Couldn't live without the remote.Bags are easy to change. And YES.... it is much more quiet than any of my previous machines.
Absolutely love it. Purchased in February 2024 but didn't assemble until early April 2024. Excellent quality throughout. The Big Eye Rip Fence is nothing short of awesome. Well worth the money. So is the Compass MG-36 miter gauge. Both the rip fence and the miter gauge were dead on right out of the box - no adjustments needed. Scratched my head putting it all together. No manual came with the saw - I had to download it off the internet. And watch a couple Youtube videos, but it is an amazing tablesaw - so smooth in the cut, both rip and crosscut.
The Harvey MB-600 mobile base is very heavy duty and seems to work well. I'm glad I bought it because the Harvey Alpha model tablesaw is very heavy and the mobile base allows me to move it around.
I love the cabinet and the versatility. It can be used under any cabinet and the dust collection is adaptable to 4".
It's been just over a month since receiving and setting up my new table saw... I have been using the saw almost daily since then. I could not be happier!! From ordering, to notifications, and shipping everything went without a hitch. I also included the MB-600 Universal Mobile Base and the COMPASS RG-1 Universal Roller Guide... both of which have exceeded my expectations. I struggled for years researching for a replacement for my 30yr old table saw... the Harvey was the answer for my search/needs... my only regret was that I wished I had pulled the trigger sooner! Thank you!
This will be the insert that I use the most. Although I typically run thin kerf blades, I set this up with a full kerf 1/8 inch blade. Then I finished off (widened) the slot with a file to account for the minimal movement of the insert. Just what was needed to keep those thin cut-off pieces from dropping down into the dust collector and choking things up.
The B36 is a little pricey, but it is worth every penny. If you are looking for a very high quality rip fence, this is the one. Save your dollars on others and see the difference with the B-36. I have other Harvey products that I can only say I see the pride they take in there products and nothing but Quality
I bought the G700 to upgrade from one of those cyclone and bag filter units. The difference in dust in my shop was apparent instantly. I was able to uncrate and set up the machine completely by myself. I just turned 70. It fits very nicely in my one car garage shop and allows me to reclaim some vertical space above it for an assembly/outfield table that I will soon build. Buy it again in an instant!
Ended up buying the complete Harvey Compass routing system, cast iron top, fence, dust collection box and table. Couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the materials and the ease of use! Assembly instructions could always be better but was able to assemble the entire table without any additional help.
I thought the product quality was excellent. I ran into some issues with my Jet cabinet saw and it took 2 days to get a response. The 6 of the 8 allen set screws stripped out. I think they were overtightened at the factory.
I was impressed by;
1) The way the way the saw and its parts were packaged for shipping.
2) The overall quality of the saw and its parts.
I was not impressed by;
1) The instruction manual was weak to say the least.
2) The polycarbonate center section is warped and rises above the cast iron table top.
I have not yet used the saw, but will know more once I do. I’m looking forward to a pleasant experience.
