The Harvey Big Eye Rip Fence System can be mounted to SawStop ICS/PCS table saws with minor modifications required. Instructions to guide you through this process, ensuring a seamless and efficient installation are included in this article.
- SawStop Left-Wings (PCS:12" W, ICS:10" W) are wider than Harvey Alpha Series Left-Wings (7-9/32" W).
- To compensate for the difference in the left-wing widths the rails can be shifted to ensure a 36" or 52" rip capacity to the right of the blade depending on the model.
- Because the fence is wider in the front than in the back, the rear rail needs to be positioned to the left just enough so the rear clamping mechanism can engage without sliding off the rear rail when the fence is slid to the left bumper on the front guide rail.
- Having the front rail positioned to the right enough to get the full rip capacity to the right of the blade is the most common method of alignment, unless the operator prefers to take advantage of the full capacity of the table to the left of the wing on a larger than 7-9/32" W left-wing. In this case, the rip capacity to the right of the blade will be reduced if the front and rear rails need to be shifted to allow the fence to be moved further to the left than would be the case with Harvey Alpha Series table saws.
1. Create two φ10 through-holes on the front and rear guide rail mounting surfaces of the extension wooden table, positioned 29mm away from the tabletop, as depicted in Figures 1 to 4. (For the 52" extension table, it is advisable to create 3 holes.)
