I heard back from Harvey, they built the Platinum for Laguna. The current version of the Alpha has a longer infeed to the blade. Kinda wish Laguna had gone that route, more infeed would be nice.

I decided to bite and bought the Harvey c300-50 today. I'd been on the fence between that and the grizzly g1023. Got an email from Harvey this morning with a promo code that knocked the price down to 1399 from 1799 (it was on sale for 200 and the code took off another 200). First cabinet saw so I'm hoping it's a worthwhile pick up. I'll start a topic when it comes.

Oh, yeah, the current line of Alpha accessories will fit my Laguna Platinum. That has me super excited. Especially since they have an overblade dust collector enabled shield that is a direct drop in upgrade.

I got most of her put together yesterday. I still have the dust collection system to install and some calibration, but so far I am very happy with my purchase. Most of the adjustments have been very minor.

I do think that I will change her from 110v to 220v. Harvey sent all the parts I need to swap out, so it should be pretty painless.

I am seriously considering Harvey, but cant decide between the HW110C or C300. I like the idea of more power on the C300 but like the table depth (infeed support) of the HW. Dust collection arm might be nice too. Look forward to a full review from ShottsZ;)

I just purchased the Harvey Alpha HW110LC-36P. I had been looking at both the Ambassador C300-30 and the C200-30. I liked the C300-30 but Harvey gave me an offer on the Alpha that was too good to turn down. There were three things that appealed to me about the Alpha: 31" deep table, Hi-Lo indicators on the fence, and the miter gouge; seems more improved than a regular miter gauge. This is an upgrade from the Delta 36-5000. I have only had it for a little over 2 years and I knew that I was going to outgrow a 1 HP motor sometime in the near future. I am starting a project which calls for cutting 4×4s and 2×6s and such. Reading this thread helped me choose the Harvey brand, and I wish that I had heard about them before I bought the Delta. Will update you guys on the setup and use when I get it in.

What's the shipping time on the tables? I am at day 11 with no shipping. Also second guessing if I want the bigger 50" table. I don't have a code but it's an extra 100 bucks.

Geronimowsb, I am sorry to mislead, but I just ordered and paid for it on 9/13. It's been 2 days now and no shipping for me also. I hope yours ship soon, then there will be hope for me. Take it easy.

I ordered one on 31. August and it still has not shipped. I have been in contact several times with Harvey's customer service, but they've not proven especially helpful. Among other things, it takes them several days just to respond to any question, so its all rather frustrating.

hmmm ive been watching this thread considering one myself but with all this talk of shipping problems and long waits to get a response is making me rethink it.

Yeah, it doesn't quite seem like they have a big US operation for sales, support, service. Although, that is also one of the reasons the prices are lower than Grizzly, SS, Jet, etc… Before you attribute delays all to them, look around though as I understand there are shortages across the industry due to increased demand from folks having more time at home in their shops. Woodcraft was telling me the SawStop contractor saw, for example, was months out. One of the Laguna's this summer I was looking at had a 2-3 mos. backlog.

2 - 3 months…that's funny. Before I received my Platinum Diamond saw from Laguna, I had ordered a 36 inch F3. I waited 6 months before they discontinued the saw and offered me the Platinum. I ordered the F3 saw in January. I got the Platinum 2 weeks after I accepted the substitution. That was June 2019.

I have had rather fast response to emails, and they said everything was available for shipping the week before I ordered. So this won't make me to happy. I almost might cancel just to wait on a flash sale for a better deal.

I would not expect anything different from Grizzly. I was ready to buy an 8" jointer, but it was perpetually on back order." Coming in soon….). While waiting I found a used Delta long bed 8" for one third the price. They saved me money and lost a sale.

It's all about if they got them state side.

They can have them on order, they can have them built in China, they could be on the boat. The fact is, until they clear customs, nobody can give a real answer. They can guess. The pitfall of importing.

A quick update: I opened my email today to find a shipping notice. The saw is due here Tuesday next week. On the delayed responses, I sent my last inquiry four days ago and have yet to have an answer.
