Harvey Gyro Air G700 Review After 3 years and modifications

We will review the Harvey Gyro Air G700 after 3 years. I will also cover issues I have had with the unit and how Harvey handled a shipping issue. Lastly, we will cover different types of cyclone dust collectors and what might be best for you.

Great review! Only confirms the decision that I made to have my own G700. Thanks.

Thanks! Good luck with your G700.

I eventually cut out the grate because of the "fluffy" shavings...also used my Festool jigsaw to cut it out in about 30 seconds. The caution about the blower being in front is important....one shouldn't use a floor sweep with the G700 for this reason, IMHO.

Good advice!! I don’t have one and I have a magnet on my Rockler “shop vacuum “ attachment.

Thanks for sharing.
How is air movement compared to the oneidas (v3000 or 5hp dust gorilla)?
(and I'm guilty of similar man-handling of equipment, knowing it is ill-advised)

From what I can tell, it moves about the same amount of air on dual 4 inch lines or running a single 6. I suspect you would be able to run more 6 or 5 inch ducting (for longer) with the larger sized unit. For me in the shop, I knew I was never going to have more than one person working in the shop, meaning more than one tool at a time. I do think it will handle the larger drum sander, I have been eye balling, just fine.

Look up Stumpy Nubs 4 year UA-cam review of the G700. He says it is comparable to the Clearview 5 hp unit he has as well.
I LOVE mine!

Sometimes, it's a good idea not to watch your husband unpack a really heavy tool. Yikes!
