    This is by far the best and most complete Harvey bandsaw setup! Great job! In process of setting up saw, thanks.

    None of the reviews mention the swing-up stop under the table that keeps the table from going past 90. It took me a while to find it as Harvey doesn't mention it in the instructions either.

      Hey Chris!
      Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I will eventually get to a follow-up, but suffice it to say, this bandsaw is great. I've had zero issues with it and have done a decent amount of resawing on it at this point that I know it will perform well.

    Actually, I guess this wasn't a review. But, I was glad to see that you could haul this in your truck on its back and get it on the mobile base alone--nice job. BTW, where is that review?

      hahaha, man I know, it took me forever to just get the thing unboxed and then I had one hiccup after another to actually sit down and get the video edited! It's a sweet saw though and I'm excited to show some actual cutting in the review video and not just a teaser 😂 Yes all the details are epic!

      Ohhh and was the TiN coating worth the extra?

    • @WoodshopMike
      @WoodshopMike  Год назад +1

      Right on! Hope it helps make setup quick and easy for ya 👊👊 I set up the inside dimensions of the base to 18-1/2" x 25-3/4" and it fits perfectly with just the slightest bit of clearance.

    • @WoodshopMike
      @WoodshopMike  Год назад

      Harvey sent the saw to me to review, but I will say that the TiN coating is quite nice and so far I've seen zero signs of surface rust.

      Hi, it looks like that base fits nicely. Did you have to modify it at all? It looks like the Harvey machine base dimensions are smaller than the minimum dimensions that Bora 3800 base is capable of.

    I have this exact unit and there a couple of "pain in the butt" design issues. But, if I got mine for free to do a video review I would likely say what you said... its easy, its great, its awesome, but there are a couple of design issues you should consider before spending your hard earned money on this saw. Yes, the bandsaw is nice but, at least be honest with the people watching your video. And, if you say there are not two design issues, then you are not actually using the bandsaw you reviewed.
