SHARK S-10 Universal Overhead Guard

Shark S-10

The unit is very well built and is robust. I had a lot of difficulty in repositioning the main arm even after removing the set screws. The fit was so tight that I had to use a rubber mallet to position it where the guard would fit properly over the blade. The blade guard does a decent job in catching dust except when you have a cut that you are only removing just a small cut. I think the opening gap just allows dust shoot out the open side. It would be a great design if the two plexiglass sides were free floating independently to allow the open side to fall all the way down to the saw tabletop.

What an improvement.

I have used a Biesemeyer overhead guard on my Unisaw for over 40 years. It worked well, until the last few years as I have gotten older. There are times when the guard in in the way & needs to be removed. The last few years, removing the Biesemeyer became almost impossible for me to move out of the way. After seeing the Harvey Shark S-10 overhead guard & how it would just swing out of the way, I had to have one. Then I had to get it mounted to my Unisaw. I did not need the very nicely designed sliding mount, but I did use it. In my install, I did not use the support leg. Harvey needs to offer a solid mount option for those that do not need the sliding mount option. The blade guard is also also much easier to use than the Biesemeyer.

Well Engineered Product!

I have a Sawstop PCS table saw and the S-10 was very easy to install. The only modification was three 9/16" holes in the rear rail. Install only took an hour with a little more time for adjustments. The dust collection is very good and I'm very pleased with the ease of use.
