BIG EYE B-36/B-52 RIP FENCE SYSTEM

A high quality rip fence is essential for a table saw to achieve desirable cutting precision and safety. The most popular table saw rip fence in the market has been the “T-square” style design and it has been around for many decades. The “T-square” rip fence is generally working fine for the purpose, but obviously it is far from being ideal in terms of positioning accuracy, repeatability, and ease of operations. Woodworkers normally need to make several “trial & error” cuts before reaching a satisfactory precision due to the sloppy fence rail guiding, fence body deflection (cantilever), and structural displacement by locking force. The whole fence system is simply not rigid and stable.

With these issues in mind for long time, the Harvey team has been committed to design a completely new rip fence system for woodworkers to address the above problems. Now we are excited to announce our brand new development: The BIG EYE ™ Rip Fence System!

T he B IG E YE Rip Fence System (Patent Pending) revolutionizes rip cutting positioning with two major break-through structural designs: The Dual- axis Linear Guide System , and the S ynchronized Dual-end Fence Locking Mechanism. The Linear Guide enables the fence glide on rails smoothly with Zero clearance and minimal friction, also it makes the fence gliding motion accuracy within astonishing 0.15mm (0.006”) throughout the full rail length. The Synchronized Dual-end Locking Mechanism allows for “Single Action” to lock the both ends of the fence which literally eliminate the deflective drifting of the fence body during cutting. These two major innovative designs dramatically create the exceptional rip cutting precision and repetition reliability.

Like other Harvey products, every part of the BIG EYE Rip Fence System is precision machined or ground from aircraft aluminum alloy, hardened steel or stainless steel. Every detail of the BIG EYE Rip Fence is dedicatedly designed and crafted for the best experience of users functionally and aesthetically. We truly believe the BIG EYE Rip Fence System will greatly improve your table saw cutting performance, working experience and the joy of woodworking!

T he Dual- a xi s Linear Gui de Rail System

At the core of the Big Eye Rip Fence System lies the Dual-axis Linear Guide Rail System, featuring eight rollers with bearings that effortlessly glide along the two hardened and ground steel rods with zero clearance. This innovative design replaces traditional bushing sliding friction with smooth rolling friction, resulting in exceptional accurate fence movement (0.15mm in full length). The system includes four fixed bearings and four adjustable bearings, eliminating gaps between the bearings and steel rods, thus maintaining parallelism between the fence and the saw blade and enabling clearance free gliding motion. To enhance the security of the fence during gliding, the guide rail ends are equipped with flip stops that can be easily moved out of the way, allowing effortless removal of the fence from either end of the guide rail as needed. The Sealing covers and felt on the sliding bases effectively minimize dust interference, ensuring smooth operation even in dusty environments.
