To be fair, if you are going to drop that kind of money on a saw and router table, a router lift isn't that much of a wallet buster. I plan on doing the exact same setup that you have, but with the Incra TS/LS fence and Jessem router lift. Very nice setup!
I agree, but I had already stretched my budget. I am heavily considering the Jessem or Nova (not yet released) motor. If that happens, I will be getting a lift.
The Harvey is nice. Where I work, we used to carry it, so I'm familiar with all them. I still went sawstop. Harvey seems to be tweaking things some but the safety feature for me was what put it over for me. The sawstop is a beast of a quality saw and since I work alone, the safety is tough to beat.
@ChristcrossCrafts The safety aspect is what has me torn. If they both had the safety feature, I would probably go with the Harvey. Since it does not, though, and it will cost me $500 to ship the Harvey, I am leaning towards the Sawstop. I really appreciate insight.
@@mattro4902 Anytime. Izzy Swan loves the Harvey, but they sent it to him, so there is that. The machining, fit and finish, and owner's manual also contribute to why I chose the SawStop. Plus, they have amazing customer service.
Again, glad you're back! Looking forward to seeing whether you had to build new or could adapt your existing Microjig Sled(?)!
I was able to keep it but did have to modify the runners. I should have that video out in a week or two.

My Uncle works in a hotdog cutting factory and he say's these saw's are junk!
Yeah, they suck for cutting hot dogs... and fingers. I'd go another direction.
If they are junk for hotdogs then are perfect for wood cutting safely
Was the Harvey table saw ever considered? I feel like I have it narrowed down to Sawstop and Harvey and looking for feedback.

Still extremely happy with the purchase.
