Harvey Table Saw Review | Each workshop needs a Harvey Table Saw, and the Australian market offers a wide range of options. There are several differences between the Harvey table saws and other table saws available in Australia, which are discussed below. No one in Australia understands these saws better than the team at Gregory Machinery, past distributors of other well-known table saws, and current distributors of Harvey Saws.
In comparison to the Laguna Fusion F2, the Harvey Ambassador C200-30 table saw features a more powerful 2.2HP motor but still uses a conventional 10amp PowerPoint to operate. The weight disparity between these two models exemplifies the differences in construction and quality of construction. Less stable than the Laguna Fusion F2, the Harvey Ambassador (175kg) weighs about half (50kg) more than the Laguna Fusion F2.
A stronger duty and more powerful saw with a more compact footprint, the Harvey Ambassador has a 30” rip capacity rather than 36”. It’s also $550 cheaper than the Laguna Fusion F2 table saw, making the Harvey C200-30 a fantastic deal.
All Harvey Table Saws come with a dado table insert as standard equipment, not as an option. The Harvey C200 table saw is better and heavier duty than the Laguna Fusion F1 table saw. Since the F1 is really a light-duty contractor’s saw, most woodworkers would prefer to spend the extra $360 on the finest.
Due to its more powerful engine, thicker gauge steel cabinet, and cast iron trunnion mechanism, the Harvey Ambassador C200-30 table saw is closer to a genuine cabinet saw. Compared to the Laguna F2 Fusion’s lighter hybrid construction and aluminum trunnion system.
An upgraded T-square European high-low fence completes the Harvey Ambassador. The one-piece, solid steel, box-section front rail is intended to slide smoothly and lock positively around all three sides. Unlike the Laguna Fusion F2, which has a lesser-duty fence and two-piece aluminum front rail. The Laguna Fusion table saws have been more popular in recent years. Harvey’s new table saw series will be officially released in Australia in 2020, and they will match other table saws on the market in terms of usefulness, features, and capacities. Let us clarify.
