Great video! I just received the Harvey router table wing to install on my SawStop PCS175. I'm going with the Jessem Mast-R-Lift ll and I already have an older Incra Intellifence that I'll mount. Just need some time from my 9-5 to get this build underway!
Nice! I did something similar with an older Craftsman cabinet saw. I changed out the fence system with Biesemeyer style fence. I went with a Benchdog cast iron wing and the Incra insert/ Portamate soft start motor for the router table. Also used the same start/stop switch. I easily have $1000 bucks in accessories on a $500 dollar saw! 🤣
Same here... vintage 1969 113. Three vintage matching cast extensions from eBay, a new cast router extension (Peachtree w/supreme fence), a new Delta 36-T30 fence system (V4, offset install), new emergency paddle switch and custom built mobile base & dust enclosure to make it practically a cabinet saw. Capable of 13" cuts to the left and 36.5" cuts to the right with that offset install. Added a Jessem router lift and enclosed the underside for dust collection as well. Next up... 220V motor for more HP. Built like a tank, yet can be disassembled to take out of my basement shop down the road.
Bro your putting out these vidoes quicker than i can watch em, im excited to watch all you stuff, the jigs and workshop ur building is really nice keep it up.
it looks great, the only thing missing is the clean sweep type inserts around the bit that incra do, makes dust collection so much better when routing rabbets, i like the wheel adjustment on the woodpecker though, cheers.
Nicley done. I recently purchased this combination... Sawstop 3hp PCS w/36in fence and the Harvey router table. I'm a little unclear from the video of you drilled the Sawstop rails or you drilled the Harvey cast iron router top? Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
I’ve been looking for someone who’s done this combination! The Harvey fence and system just seem so much nicer than the Sawstop accessories. Which saw do you have? I have the 36” PCS and it bugs me that the router table from Sawstop would require a second filler cast iron piece. I’m hoping the Harvey one wouldn’t.
I have the 36” PCS as well. I only wish that I bought the 52” for more freedom between the fence and the router. No biggie though. Still work’s amazingly well
Amazing Video! Clear and nice details of one of my dream table saw. Question: How many years took for you to had a woodshop equiped like that? And how or what was the jobs or products that allow you to grow more "easy" or had the biggest impact on your business? Thank you very much for your content and time!
Really nice set up! I'm curious does the router table work with the Harvey sliding table installed or is it a choice of one or the other? Also, does this place limits on the size of wood you can cut with your table saw?
Nice video. I have the same setup and am planning to install the router table. You drilled through the cast iron to match the existing holes in the fence. Was that simpler than drilling new holes in the fence to align with the slots in the cast iron router table?
So this video was done a year ago. Does the Harvey table still require all the drilling or have they added some holes to their product? Their website says the table is compatible with the Sawstop PCS, but if it requires drilling that seems like a misstatement.
I have the Harvey router table and no lift/ router combo yet. Was looking at a Jessem but not sure which 3hp router. Have you liked the WP lift so far? It seems like the long handle w spring is a bit awkward but I know WP stuff is great. I definitely like the external switch. Is that possible w most routers as far as I know. Thx, great vid and subscribed. Cheers.
He thinks for the vid. I'm thinking of getting a sawstop. I think the sawstop also comes with a router table insert like you have here. Did you consider getting that and what does the Harvey have is an advantage to the sawstop if you happen to know?
I did consider the SS version but the features on the fence alone plus the nicer dust bin made it easy to determine the direction that I wanted to go. The SS fence is fairly basic and works fine (seeing them in local stores) but I wanted functionality. Thanks for watching!
Similar question as @Crim1naLsiX -- what would the cost breakdown be for us mere mortals? Regardless of the costs to either you or those of us buying full retail, how has your workflow improved (ROI)?
Wow, $660 for a manual fence! For a fraction of that, I built a digital fence. Just tell it what setting you want, and it goes there- to 0.01mm accuracy. I say tell it- usually I just tell it what I want to do and it sets itself. Over and over, for each pass. Router height the same, of course. Measuring height and fence position is so last century... I included a linear rail sliding mitre assembly, of course.
Basically yes, although I have a contract in place to review this table and assist them with feedback and notes as I use it. I also have to produce and shoot the content around the table so “free” isn’t exactly the right word.
