I talked to the Harvey guy in China ( Ben Chan ? ).? I didn't pursue because the guard wasn't long enough to cover the blade and scorer.? Harvey doesn't look to build the same machines since they got into dust collectors but maybe I'm not looking in the right
spot.? It did look to be a decent build.? They were willing to ship direct to me at that time.? Dave

I have been looking at a Harvey Shark S-12 Guard, but the only way to buy is from China. It is also listed as a Axminster Trade S-12 overhead blade guard. It cost about $700.00. Does anyone know of a US dealer. Sorry don¡¯t know how to bring pictures over.
This looks like a better guard then saw stop and grizzly. If any body has one please post. Thanks?

I've read a few older posts about this but I must say, I sort of regret not getting the overhead saw guard on my K700s. The stock Euro Guard II doesn't work too well especially if there's a hose connected to it. The weight
of the hose, even when suspended in the air, can deflect the guard making it a pain to use.?
I'm wondering if someone here has been able to make (force!) the stock Euro Guard II work well enough for daily use?
I'm asking so I can pretend to exhaust all options before I break down and just buy or make/adapt a non-Felder version to the saw.?
BTW, this is the non-Felder option I've been looking at:?
It's made by a Taiwanese panel saw manufacturer (clones of Euro saws) but they have a pretty neat dust guard which I think is 95% bolt on. The only modification would be the placement of the arm, relative to the extension tables, to match the Felder dimensions,
but otherwise the mounting is conceptually the same. If it costs me $500 and couple of hours of fitting, it would be a good option, price-wise, mee-thinks.?
Here's a video of it in action:?
