Harvey Brand New Compass Router Table System

[cperren]

Got this email today and this router table system looks impressive. Glad to see a company pushing new ideas on router table and fence systems. I've had a few woodpecker router tables and fences but this one looks impressive. Any thoughts?

Bridge City and Harvey are having a bad day. One email mentions the Sring sale while another notes a Oowder coated steel frame. I think they are pushing the envelope a bit much when they say their new shaper is CNC when it just looks like a digital system to control the spindle. Having the machine remember and set speeds and arbor tilt seems a bit simplistic compared to running complex matching steps normally associated with CNC.

From the look of it, Harvey seems to be orienting some of its products in competition with the product lines that Jessem is well known for. John Economaki has deep industry knowledge of tool making as well as pricing in this part of the world.

I didn’t see anything all that unique about the Harvey offering that would justify the price.
