    Bad job coming

    Harvey Slider on Unisaw?

    Thread Starter: John Kananis

    All these slider threads got me thinking. Does anyone here have the Harvey compass st-1500 attached to their unisaw? Can you speak on the quality, ease of attachment, capabilities and shortcomings? Thank you in advance!
