A Miter Gauge For Your Table Saw That's Actually GOOD!

My Sawstop Table Saw Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5bTaIKlf86gY9U

[@mikedavis5099]

So, I have seen several reviews on the gauge and while it was built well but not much is able to be calibrated. Also, the gauge markers are so far away from the arrow it is hard to near impossible to make a real accurate setting. The Wood Whisperer did an excellent job pointing out some of the faults.

[@travisedwards9983]

That seems to of been on 1 tool, everyone else had very good things to say about it.

[@pinktacoluvr]

New drinking game for the week: take a shot every time Matt says "premium". 😂 Great review! 👍🏻

[@731Woodworks]

lol

[@IndieCato]

$350 for a miter gauge? I'll pass! Steve Ramsey actually put out a video recently on improving the "hot garbage" stock miter gauges, worth the watch!

[@JohnWaclawski]

If harvey sent me a $360 miter gauge for free, I'd do a video on it too. Entirely too expensive for your typical home woodworker. Absolutely gorgeous piece of hardware, and I'm sure it's probably the absolute best in what it does. It's just excessively priced for those of us "getting by". Matt....you do this craft well. Stay grounded and realize not all of your subscribers can afford a beautiful piece like that. :) Thanks for the links to the more affordable miter gauges.

[@pteddie6965]

This is an impressive miter gauge, to be sure, but I could never justify spending $360.00 on a miter gauge. Still, it's nice to dream. I can't justify spending $60,000 on a pickup truck, but I still dream about owning one.

[@JoeGator23]

More like +$70k for a top-of-the-line pick up truck these days, right? No deal there, even at a deep discount.

[@Dolfan0925]

Yeah if I had that money I'd get the Delta miter saw.

[@webcrawler3332]

Yikes! That is not cheap!

[@shockjock35]

I paid $50,000 for my Tundra and I get it. When you want to buy mods for your Truck. Whats another $1000 for something. Similar to Matt with a $3600 Sawstop what’s another $360 for an accessory. I own a Dewalt 7845 table Saw so this miter gauge is almost the same price. If it were $40,then heck yea. I don’t know what can be differences from a Miter gauge vs a Crosscut Sled or an actual Miter Saw for that matter.

[@agowan1207]

That miter gauge cost more than my table saw

[@lawrencelunsford6028]

I bought the Incra 1000SE a few years ago and I've been very happy with it. The Harvey sure looks good. Just remember to double check the fence for clearance between blade and miter fence when making miter cuts, you don't want to cut through your fence! :)

[@jackerickson78]

It is as nice as you say it is. I just bought Harvey's 110S table saw and it came with it. It was definitely one of my deciding factors.

[@731Woodworks]

Good choice!

[@pizzaboy2020]

How do you like your Harvey Table Saw? I just purchased one.

[@jackerickson78]

@@pizzaboy2020 I really love it. It is my first cabinet table saw. It's powerful, robust, and reliable. In the context of this video, hopefully you will receive the updated t-slot bar for the miter gauge. I have added a couple of nylon tipped set screws towards the back.

[@shockjock35]

Wow, that’s nice but you’re right it’s expensive. $360 that cost almost as much as my Dewalt 7845 DWE table saw. lol I think I might just make a sled with t-track and a Katz-Moses Stop Block. Lol 😂

[@adamkirkland4348]

Accerut cuts. Thanks for this video. After watching this one, one by stumpy nubs and a few others I purchase this miter gauge for $270 on Black Friday. Just got it this afternoon. Haven’t been able to use it yet but out of the box I love it.

There marketing IS GOOD, you are a part of the team now. Let's forget about the bad samples sold

[@1975oldschool]

I feel like the biggest news in this video is SawStop including such a basic contractor style miter gauge? Thanks for the review, it sure is purrty!

[@731Woodworks]

Yeah it was disappointing that they include such a mediocre miter gauge with such a premium saw.

[@OCReventsAndbuilds]

I’m debating on this one or the powertec one Leaning more towards this one with the compass slide table too and gonna figure out making a bigger table for my compact DEWALT saw

[@GyWO10]

Thank you

[@naturaIIydifferent]

Looks sweet, but I don't have any issues with my Delta miter gauge. I screw on a sacrificial fence and use a small "C" clamp and scrap of wood as a stop block. It's pretty much dead on accurate. If I ever hit the lotto I may buy this Harvey gauge, but I don't gamble so that's not going to happen. Keep doing what you do bro, I have been watching since the beginning and am super happy for you and your wife! Blessings and love from Upstate New York ❤️💛💚

[@DirkieB]

Harvey is such good stuff. If I ever have the workshop space and budget, I'm going all out on that stuff. A boy can dream!

[@wannabefunnyman]

That’s a thing of beauty. Sure beats re-setting up my Delta miter turd every time I touch it. I’ve been looking at an Incra I think I’ll go for because it’s more affordable and still way better than what I have. Congrats on yours though. Every woodworker loves the days when they break open something they’ve been drooling over. Looks like you REALLY enjoyed it.

Thank you

[@Aspire2Cycle]

I love to dream or over spend on a "Cool" tool, mostly dreaming; because this tool might not make it into my shop. It's not about how fancy of a tool you have, it's being able to use it and adjust to the limitations it might have. Let the tool teach you what you both can do and then you can upgrade when it's time.

[@stevehelton1963]

So glad to see this review. I have an incra that i love although in my haste and lack of attention I managed to run it directly over the blade. I absolutely HATE making dumb mistakes but we all make them. Will definitely give this some thought now that I need to replace, appreciate the video. In fact thanks for ALL the videos, ive been watching / listening to everything you have uploaded while I work at the KTP Ford truck plant in Louisville, KY over the last 6 weeks since discovering you! And thanks for your previous police service, I'm a huge military / police supporter! Keep the videos coming man, you rock. Steve H.

[@nickbrutanna9973]

You might to want to look up the Wood Whisperer's review of different miter gauges, and also Stumpy Nub's response to it. They specifically discuss the Harvey gauge. Both are about a year old, so a year after you produced this.

[@richardlug6139]

And now Harvey has improved some of the old MG faults. While I will not buy Harvey’s gauge it is a plus for buying their table saw.

[@scottmorris4914]

Harvey includes this miter gauge with their table saws, it is standard. I got my Harvey with this gauge for $1,595. Take off the $350, and my Harvey for $1,245. It is a 2 HP 110v cast iron top cabinet saw. Keep an eye out for specials and sales, I have seen it on sale before.

[@kwilliams2239]

I'm late to the party but I received mine a couple of weeks ago and have major regrets. First, it's supposed to be able to be used on the right side of the fence. Well, it will push wood through the blade on that side but it's a pretty poor excuse for a miter gauge on that side. Notice that is very little information regarding right-side use. It's not an accident, IMO. First, the stop, slider, and pointer are on the wrong end. The pin comes nowhere near the blade. On the left side, it's about an inch from the blade. On the right its 2-1/2", or so. The micro-adjuster is backwards, as well. Second, when the extension bar is moved from the left side of the gauge to the right, the T-slots mirror to the back of the gauge, making a sacrificial fence impossible without drilling through to the slots. I don't think I want to, nor should have to, do this on a $300 tool. Third, when the extension is moved to the right side, it's not square to the table or miter fence. It's out about .065", or 1.6mm at the top. This is unacceptable. This sample also had the large gap between the cursor and compass. Thanks to the Internet, I found the solution for this but I had to force the cursor block as far as possible to close this gap to make reading the angle reasonable. In short, I certainly wouldn't recommend this miter gauge. Knowing this, I would have bought the JessEm. Harvey makes pretty tools but this one is a fail, IMO.

Hand cuffs? :))). I have incra and MG-36, incra is good, does an ok job, I don't like their fidgety adjustments, have to have the hex wrench. But the Harvey miter gage is in the separate category and they include it with all their table saws and others should too. Harvey support and service are great too.

[@jacktrotter5357]

Could you demo the hongdui miter gauge and fence? Do you prefer the Harvey over any Incra miter gauge or Jessem miter gauge?

[@CaryInVictoria]

The Wood Whisperer evaluated a slew of miter gauges and put two on his "do not buy list", one being the Harvey (though he likes other Harvey products). Yes, it's gorgeous, but he found several functional shortcomings. He's not the only 'tuber to have panned the product.

[@beccamayberry9907]

The iPhone comparison is a real deal bc like you said it’s cardboard but it really makes it feel and look premium and I’m a huge fan of that stuff. As well as your shirt sir, nailing it. This gauge is amazing, I’ve seen a few people with them but man that’s steeeeeeeeep 💸💸

[@prestonbowden]

Great review brother!

[@731Woodworks]

I appreciate it!

[@JamesKelly89]

I have the Fulton precision miter gauge and I'm looking to upgrade. One significant difference between INCRA and Harvey is that INCRA is Made in USA while Harvey is Made in China. That said I'd much rather support Made in USA if I'm going to get a premium miter gauge.

[@cheryltaylor107]

It sure is nice and you Definitely weren't wrong about that Premium price!

Question? In your video you have this litlle black box you keep moving. It looks like it measure distance from to miter fence what is that device please. Ty in advance

[@gXXrGoNe]

I bought their saw as well as the sliding table. Amazing machine. Their saws go on sale all the time, indefinite sale, but even the sale price goes up amd down. But you have to be able to pull the trigger when the price drops super low. Thats what i did!

Crazy timing bc I've been looking for miter guage! Mine has too much wiggle to it and doesn't have positive stops. Makes for very frustrating work.

[@731Woodworks]

For sure! This one works well and can be snugged up in that track

[@hamilde]

I could not agree with you more on this miter. I bought one probably more than a year ago and, even though it's expensive, it is much better than the incra (and the incra is awesome because I have one of them too). The box is so awesome that I didn't want to get rid of it (I just had to dispose of it to make room in my shop 🙂) . The one advantage the incra has is the angle adjustment. It has a mechanism that allows you to adjust to positive stops at fractional degrees through the whole range of motion. The Harvey is also nice because it makes it easy to bevel cut since the ends of the fence are at a 45 deg angle. As an owner of both, I would be hard pressed to decide which one to buy if I could only have one. I use them both for different things.

[@bradhillig9844]

Currently on sale at $256 on Harvey website.

[@fungato4clown1]

Matt what a sweet video and thanks for sharing. I have been like ok’ing at the Harvey lineup and I am certainly impressed and you have sold me. Guess what my problem is. I bought a nice used craftsman table saw and the silly mitter tracks have in four places a goofy little hang over spot on the top of the track. Looking at the mitter gauge it looks like the track is a flat bar from end to end. I’m going to need to save up for a new table saw and miter gauge it looks like. Although from what you have shown and what I have seen in the shops it looks like this tool is a beast of a mitter gauge. Please also revisit how well the gauge has held up over time. In fact I think that would be a great series to veer off occasionally to show the honesty of well tools have held up in the work environment. Because I know as time goes on pieces wear and don’t hold as accurate or operate as well as they did when they were brand new. On the Harvey item I’m more worried about that plastic bushing piece I’m 5 years and where do I get a replacement if it is compromised and worn after use and no longer holds right after years of use. Otherwise the tool looks like a beast. Again a loyal fan and love to see how God has blessed you and I love trying to get started as well.

[@DougMcHone]

I have the Kreg Miter Guage, the brass pin that holds the angle is prone to coming out when I am moving the gauge from storage to table saw and the stop block deflects. I don't have a brass pin solution yet, but the Katz-Moses stop block is awesome. My best idea for that pin is a storage solution that holds the gauge at 90%, probably using french cleat for either my wall, or eventually the side of the table saw itself. I have ideas. This fence does have a much better tension adjustment process than Kreg's, so I am jelly about that one. That micro-adjust is awesome! To use fence + miter gauge, I measure an inch farther than intended, then use 1-2-3 blocks on my side of the blade to butt the workpiece against. Bevel Pin??? Go on... Maybe a future video? I'm not familiar with that one. For my hobby budget and uses, I think I'll stick with the Kreg that I already purchased, but I do make one bigger tool purchase each year. I will look into this one after I get a band saw, a spindle sander and maybe a jointer.

[@731Woodworks]

I've never used an Incra one

[@dentonwhite7059]

There is one major design flaw: When the gauge is set to 45 degrees or more, tightening the knob tilts the fence back so that it is not square to the table surface. That means that angle cuts of stock up to 31/4 inches are not square. To correct this design flaw, one must place a shim of .025 to .027 between the gap so that tightening down the knob doesn't tilt the fence. I own this gauge. I appreciate all its strengths, but this should have been foreseen by the manufactures.

[@steveiv9250]

Also the flip stop doesn’t fit close enough to the table allowing smaller stock to sneak by, also using the brass dowel on the flip stop stock cut on a angle cannot sit flush allowing the mitre cut to go under the brass stop. Also with the the 45 on the aluminum fence you can’t cut stock with the mitre smaller than 3-1/2”, Harvey also claims they have the longest fence with extension on the market which they do not. It has one thing no other fence has though and that’s a the largest price tag.
