Changing it out Already? Harvey Big Eye Rip Fence Upgrade

Time for a change on the main tool in the shop already?! Yes, Harvey recently released their Big Eye rip fence system and asked to to install it on my Harvey Alpha table saw. This fence is a finely machined piece of tooling that is extremely smooth to operate and has ZERO deflection at any point of the fence.

Changing from high to low fence position is super easy with the sliding scale. Harvey now offers a scale on the left side of the blade as well, a feature that is very handy for cutting miters.
The big eye rip fence also comes standard with 4 flip down stops for repeatable cut locations. This is one of the features I am most excited for in my shop!

I had to do very little adjustment to mine as well. I did a review of it after a couple of months. Great video

[@MAGAMAN]

You don't need to align a router table fence, unless you are using the miter gauge.

[@arclightxv7861]

I really like the fence. I got it when it shipped in Jan and have been using it since. On my old table saw, I had the Incra-fence, which I absolutely loved. This in my opinion is just as good on the accuracy front, but has built in positive stops and a much much nice profile from usability standpoint.

[@jakeg1342]

May I ask what table saw you are using it on? I have an older Powermatic

[@OKCFittySix]

Ah. I was scratching my head a little bit when I went to mount the power switch. I hadn't found anything in the manual. Thx!

[@nmancini]

I think the fine adjustment should have had a gear reduction to really be more of a fine adjustment wheel vs a rubber wheel

[@srmofoable]

For those of you without youtube level income, check out really cool tools fence system. You have to make your own rail, but that's a simple process albeit a little time consuming. You can pick up 2040 extrusion cheap from automation direct. All in about 300 plus shipping and your rail

[@jakeg1342]

Those are just a beismeyer T-style fence like the one he just replaced.

[@dendenovich8366]

The arrow indicator where I bought ?

[@dansarfert3585]

11.5mm is roughly 29/64 in. In some cases and when precision is necessary, metric is easier.

[@pctatc66]

But can you attach Jessem Stock guides? Looks like it will need modifications to be able to do that.

[@itachi975x]

You can even easier no magnets needed it has t-slot on top you just use t-bolts

[@MAGAMAN]

@@itachi975xIf you are using magnets to attach the Jessem Stick guides, you are defeating one if its biggest features.

[@iainhuddart8496]

2:38 chucks away metric tape - 3:40 took a measurement.... in metric 😆

[@pctatc66]

wow.. $1250 with shipping and tax for a Table saw fence????????? way too rich for my blood

[@MAGAMAN]

Especially when it's all made in china.

[@Psychlist1972]

Not when you're a KZbinr and get it for free, though. :/ So many of these channels have turned into glorified ad networks.

[@usatravler1]

Guess all that technology is needed if building a scram jet out of wood.

[@jamesred911]

Metric FTW lol

[@voalexandrevo]

Dude, unless you don't have space in your workshop, you should buy a slidong table saw, a real one. Its wayyyyyyyyyy better.

[@richardlug6139]

I am sure if one of the companies that make them gave him one free like he got the Harvey free, he would gladly take it. Sliders would be the way to go compared to actually having to pay for this saw all all the upgrades he got for free.
