- I'm adding the final parts to my Harvey Table Saw System. Installing the slider and router attachments. The third and final video will be a discussion about the pros and cons of the system as a whole. The things I like, and the things I wish Harvey would have done. Let me know if you have questions.

This table saw is so dam sexy, its taking everything i got to keep myself from saying yolo and spending every last dollar i have on one. just started a new woodshop business, and im trying to make some money before purchasing this thing, because all i have now is a cheap $70 craftsman Radial Arm Saw.
I can tell you man it makes a big difference having this nice tools. It is a lot to spend though.
I recently picked up the HW110TC-36PG, which came with the Big Eye fence (which is awesome), Harvey router setup with the JessEm lift like you. I agree with you on the instructions being practically useless. My question is will this slider replace a cross cut sled completely-seems like it would and wonder if you did the 5 cut test to ensure it is square? Great video!!
Great question. I would say that was my hope, was that it would and I would no longer have to drag and lift my big cross cut sled up to the saw, for most cuts it does, especially angled cuts. But honestly, a cross cut sled has it's advantages. I find that when cutting small pieces off, like 1 inch off cuts, it gets dangerous because the little piece sits near the blade and I'm worried it's going to drift to the front and then BOOM explode in my face or shoot across the shop, which has happened. It's very annoying and slows down production because I need to stop the saw, or carefully knock the piece out of the way each time. But with a cross cut sled, the sled moves as well so the small piece of cut off gets carried forward away from the blade and you can safely grab it. Also, the slider its always in the way, you can't easily remove it. So find myself having to put it at 45 degrees and pull it all the way back to stand in front of it when using the table saw normally, but now that wedges me in between the saw and slider which doesn't make me feel safe. Yes I did the 4 cut test, it was pretty dang accurate out of the box. Again with cutting smaller pieces, a cross cut sled holds the piece for you, there's no friction between the work piece and cast iron so its easy and safe to hold a small piece in place with a pencil or something. But with the slider, the work piece is sliding across the cast iron towards the blade so the more downward pressure you put on it to hold it safely in place, the more friction you induce. so again cutting smaller repeat cuts sucks. I would say it really depends on the type of work you do. If you cut a lot of sheet goods, this may make more sense. There have been many times where i break out the smaller miter gauge that came with the saw and my old cross cut sled, but now I think i will build a new smaller cross cut because the grooves in my outfeed table no longer line up because I had to shift it over for dust collection re work. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the quick response and insight on the slider vs cross cut sled. Your point on the small pieces by the blade is good, plus after I got my setup I noticed it takes considerably longer for the blade to completely stop spinning which makes it worse. I replaced a 25+ yr old 10” Delta contractor Table saw and having all this power really is impressive and a little stressful getting used to it.
@@clintmalmquist4423 yea I'd start of with a nice sled and if you find a need to upgrade to a slider, then you can make that decision
