ALPHA HW110TC-36Pro & 52Pro 10" 3HP Stain-less Cabinet Saw with Big Eye Rip Fence

New HW110TC Table Saw

I’ll start by saying that I love my new saw. My previous saw was a well tuned Rigid contractor saw that I used for the past 23 years. I’m a 77 year old retired engineering supervisor that grew up a carpenter’s son that received a BS degree in Industrial Technology in 1971. In short I’ve been woodworking all my life. I would have given five stars if the saw didn’t have the following issues. Dust collection is disappointing. I use a 1200 CFM dust collector with 4” ducting. I tried the blade guard using OEM hoses and piping which was pretty useless. I removed the piping and tried my 6.5 HP shop vac directly on the guard and it worked much better. For most of my saw usage the guard will not be used because it is always in the way of setting up cuts. Cabinet dust collection has issues also. I taped off the air duct that is intended for the blade guard so all available suction goes to the cabinet. Collection works well for cross cuts, however when ripping hardwood the saw shavings bird nest on the forward top edge of the plastic duct just under the throat plate. The shavings also clog the hose inside the cabinet very quickly. I plan to route my 4” hose directly to the plastic duct under the blade to hopefully eliminate clogging. The other issue is the throat plates. When I ordered the saw I also ordered a zero clearance throat plate. So I have 3 plates to tinker with. It is a constant pain to readjust all the wonderful set screws provided to perfect fitment of the plate. And don’t ever drop the screw used to hold the plate to the saw. Retrieval requires removing the hose under the blade, or if you have the dust collector running… you wont make that mistake again. Loctite should take care of the tinkering issue, but will make future adjustments challenging. The big eye fence was the primary reason I wanted this saw. It does not disappoint ! The miter gauge is much better than my Incra 1000 that I’ve had for years. In summary it is a great saw for my hobby making heirloom quality boxes, clocks and furniture with high precision machine joinery.

Best Table Saw Made To Date

I've been building cabinets and furniture for 30 years and have used many different makes and models of table saws. Harvey Tools' nickel-plated table saw is not only the highest quality I've worked with, but the best looking and engineered that I've seen. The pricing is decent for the quality of the machine. The only issue is the high costs of shipping to receive the unit. That said, I am extremely impressed with the table saw and hope that it will satisfy my needs for many years to come.

Fabulous saw

I purchased the HW110TC 52 Pro. I have absolutely no regrets other than I didn’t purchase it sooner. I have a nickel plated cast-iron top, which is extremely well-made having the longer table top. It’s nice because it allows me to make cuts on bigger pieces when trying to make table tops and so forth it is a 3 hp saw which is not the biggest by any means but it works without hesitate of any kind on any wood. I have used it on. I also have the Big Eye fence. Which is a pure joy to use the micro adjustments on it make it really nice when you’re trying to make precise cuts and the fact that it does not have a knob sticking out and catching on your clothes is a a real bonus and being able to see the measurements through the glass window and see them clearly is also very nice. I also have the motor gauge which was a real bonus for me. It worked extremely well for the money there are other sources you can have that cost as much or more and I don’t believe can compare to the quality. I have a friend who purchased a saw stop before I got my table, saw and wished he had made some other choices. There are more expensive tiles out there, but for the money, I don’t believe in this price range you can find anything that can compare. I am absolutely pleased with my purchase would purchase again and feel certain I will purchase other woodworking tools from Harvey and Bridge city tools in the near future. I highly recommend her sauce as a matter of fact, I also own a Harvey band saw you will be unhappy with their customer service as it second to none for me and an issue that I had with a dust collection after a very brief conversation on the phone and a couple of pictures they simply replaced it as I said you won’t go wrong if you purchase a saw from them
