I appreciate the way you speak to us as adults. Your reviews are clear, concise, and not muddled with hype.
So I went to the website for the Dubby sled, and I can’t believe this guy has been selling for about as long as I’ve been alive and his shop is 5 minutes from where I grew up and my parents still live! I had never heard of it before an earlier Cool Tools episode, and I had no clue something so cool was built so close to me.
My Dubby sled in 22 years old. I use it almost every project. Still dead on accurate.
I have had my Dubby sleds now for 4 years, I like the way Jerry will sell replacement parts so if you change saws you can get the new sled bottoms as well I have both sides love them!
I used to have one of the original Dubby sleds, bought at a woodworking show in PA in the 80's. I just had the left handed sled, they didn't have the right handed sled at that time. No fancy aluminum track or angle gauge. Just a wood fence with an adjustable stop and an angle marking tape that was stuck to the sled. Once setup properly it was quite accurate, made many a multi sided frame on the sled. Wish I could have kept it when I sold my table saw. My (new to me, but actually old) table saw does not have standard miter slots.
I have the Dubby...right and left. It is a great tool. I always like to stop by Jerry's Demo at the St. Louis Woodworking Show. He is a classic. Great vid.
I’ve used my Dubby for 20 years (it’s the older style with a wooden fence). I love it. Every so often I try something new but always come back to the Dubby because it’s the best.
First thing that popped into my head when I saw the title was, "Master has given Dubby a sock. Dubby is free!"
Cool invention, though. =)
Stumpy, thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. I am looking forward to when things go back to normal with the world and woodworking
I've had my Dubby Sled for more than 3 years, and I love it. It's great for picture and mirror frames, and also great for making bowl blanks for the lathe. You can quickly make segmented rings with different thicknesses for each ring, and even using various species of wood for a very colorful bowl. Then glue the rings together to form the basic shape of your bowl, and as an added benefit, you don't have to waste a lot of wood hogging out your bowl. I'm definitely going to be looking into those router bits, and that band saw too.
How much did it cost?
@Stumpy Nubs. Thanks James for a great tool wrap up. I got interrupted several tines but I'm glad I watched all the way through. Can't wait to move into a place where I can have a shop. Then I can do some real woodworking with many of the tools you recommend.
Hope you, your staff, and your families stay safe and well.
Good job again James my boy. I first bought my Dubby years ago, when Detroit had a
woodworking show. Now I know you remember those bubba.
I have never seen that Dubby Sled that thing looks AMAZING. Lots of great info and things to empty my checking account on.
Hi, Stumpy,
When I saw the magnetic push stick, I immediately went to my work shop drawer that had lots of rare earth magnets, and began attaching them to my push sticks . Now all my push sticks are magnetic AND much more handy.
However, I had one tool with no convenient steel surface. Not to fear: I used Velcro. It works great!
Keep up making these great videos: not only are they helpful, but they are enjoyable.
I also do this. Also useful for keeping blade changing spanner with the saw.
I've had a Dubby for years. Best ever.
This bandsaw is exactly a Laguna saw. No joke. Exactly what I am using right now
As I said, they make saws for other name brands. However, the Harvey version has better guides.
I've had a Dubby sled for 30 years!, with an oak fence. First time I've seen one on TH-cam. Bought at the armory in DC. It's worse for wear, I might get a new one.
Love your tool presentations.
As a new subscriber and newbie in woodworking in my retirement years , your videos have been very informative and quite enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing with us James, lots of good info. Fred.
Great video ! AGAIN !!! I love the animation at the beginning...super cool 'Mr. Wire'. Absolutely mind blowing tool and ideas. Thank you. 🙏🙂👍🇨🇦
Again I thank you for the informative section especially Harvey tools
Excellent video! Several new-to-me items.
Thanks for the video / I am a fan of Harvey / great products that don't get mentioned enough.

Enjoy the video thanks for sharing you have a blessed day
i like these segments, thanks stumpy!
Love your recommendations...thanks!
I stick small neodymium magnets to my wooden push sticks to keep them close to the table saw.
Gracias!, La explicación de cosas de carpintería excelente!👍. Y el libro es muy inspirado
I need to convince my brother to buy my 14" ShopFox bandsaw so I can upgrade. It works OK, but you were spot on about the guides and not wanting to change blades when I should because I don't want to go through the set-up. Thanks as always!
TH-cam is crammed with videos about table saw sleds and I'm drawn to them like a moth to a candle. And then I remember that I have a right and left Dubby. I've had them for decades and they are incredible. I just don't need another sled. I even tie the two together so they can handle larger panels. I've never seen a video of a cross-cutting operation that the Dubby couldn't handle just as well or better and more safely.
I'm flabbergasted that one commenter below had support problems. I've called Jerry Cole a couple of times and he has been fantastic. To the writer below, give him another try.
Harvey is the outfit that bought out John Economaki when he retired from Bridge City Tools. Thanks for the review of that bandsaw. I was just about to buy a Jet. Not any more. Sorry, Jet.
Great info, thank you!
FYI, Harvey is the Chinese manufacturer that bought Bridge City Tool Works in 2018.
Thanks Stumpy! I never know what to tell my gang what I want for Christmas. Now they can simply watch and go to the links!
James, nice selection and nice presentation. Keep it up, thumbs up, buttercup.
Hey, that magnetic push stick looks like the one I made with wood and magnets!
FUNNY 😆
Thanks Stumpy!
I bought a Harvey C-14 bandsaw. Right now it is pretty much assembled. But I have not run it yet. It came with a ¾” 6 TPI blade that was all oiled up for corrosion protection. I really do not see a purpose for such a blade. So I have ordered some others from sawblade.com and await their arrival. I can make share a few perceptions so far. First, the saw looks great. Fit and finish seem very good. It arrived strapped to a pallet. The pallet was pretty beat up. Had a couple of cracked slats, which made this heavy, tall, skinny tool kind of unstable. The delivery truck could not get down my driveway. So the driver pullet the pallet jack and I pushed and stabilized the load along 200’ of gravel driveway. The tool was packed well in a cardboard box with a wood subframe. A few weeks prior to ordering it, I emailed a question to Harvey. Took 6 days to get a reply. After I ordered the tool, and before it was shipped, I emailed a couple of questions to Harvey. I never got an answer. I do not think their customer service is yet spooled up for retail sales. Probably a learning curve there. The manual is on quality paper, and the font size and legibility is good. Lots of exploded diagrams with part numbers, which I like. The saw came delivered with the power switch bolted on the opposite side. This confused me at first. I assume it was done for shipping reasons. But there was nothing in the manual. I also found an error in the manual, where the figure really did not match what was written in the text. But I eventually figured it out. The manual is better than many I have read, but is not “SawStop quality”. But then again, who’s is?
Hi
The Bandsaw featured looks almost exactly like a Laguna 14SUX apart from the guides.
Wheels, brake, table, tension release lever, 3hp motor, extraction locations, fence, doors, even the hex key holder just below the on/off.
Always enjoy your content.
regards
Excellent video. I have just purchased a Gripper after almost cutting 1/4 of the top of my thumb off. Pricey and a bit slow but I think it will help prevent any future finger sawing accidents.
I'm in love with the Harvey HW615. Would love a detailed review. Also, would enjoy a follow up report on the Ambassador 14. Enjoy all your videos.
Great video. Thanks
I just bought Harvey's Alpha tablesaw...i could rave about it just as much as you do with the bandsaw. The work surface is almost too big (31.5 inches deep).
Tip for anyone considering a Harvey machine...sign up for their email list. They are seemingly desperate to make in-roads in the American market, so they constantly have some deep discounts on big machines, and Bridge City stuff too. For instance, that Ambassador bandsaw was just advertised the other day for an extra $300 off.
Great info THANKS
Primarily a metalworker and hearing you say a deep cut in end grain and keep your cut 1/4" or less it broke my brain! Shit I wish I could plough through 1/4" endmill cuts at that DOC
Hi, I went to Harvey from your other video on this saw, and bought the 14" saw. So hopefully you'll get a little something from them. They have a great deal going right now, $400 off! Thanks for your review, it convinced me to pull the trigger. My old 18" Grizzly finally broke down after 34 years!
Cool Tools and Cool Tips
Used my Dubby for over 25 years, love it
pardon my ignorance but whats the difference between left or right, better yet which one would you get if you could only afford one and why would you buy both?
sorry but i'm rather new to woodworking but would highly appreciate your input
@@rickdde If your rip fence is on the right side of the blade, get the left side sled. Or vise versa.
@@StumpyNubs thank you so much for your ppt response and thank you for your videos, they have been a true inspiration and a great learning experience sir
I missed these cool tools vids
Big bang boom u got it again stumpy nubs, another great cool tool video love it.
I was going to impulse buy the Dubby cross-cut sled as soon as it was introduced, but I have a job site table saw and it's way to small. Fortunately, Infinity Tools has their mini-cross cut sled which I have and works fine. Nice reviews.
Thanks
it's all ways there when I needed, except when it's not.... story of my life.
Great video, I see three items that I need to look into. The Dubby, Harvey BS, and the MK2. I didn't realize Harvey made BS's, this is on the top of my list when I'm ready to upgrade from my current model. They also have some nice looking tablesaws (if only with they had SS safety tech).
I finally broke down and told my wife - from Michigan - that one of my favorite YT woodworking subscriptions is a fellow Michigander.... sigh.... I’m gonna hear THAT for the rest of my life! 😉 Thanks James, great info as usual. Definitely need to upgrade from my Grizzly bandsaw and up my chisel sharpening ‘game’!
How is your grizzly band saw
I love your videos and trust what you say.
I have the chisel sharpening system and I enjoy it. I would be fibbing if I said I love it, sharpening is a necessary evil. Thank you for recommending this system the first time. It is a good one!
Excellent video, your first introduction and chisel sharpener are to buy items. Psst told tell the wife. lol lol
Great job again thank you very much for your continued attention to detail. I appreciate your taking the time to talk about the sled I am a fan. If you are going to be talking about books,then have you discovered : The complete Japanese Joinery, or Carpentry and Joinery Illustrated edited by Paul N. Hasluck
I do a lot, a lot of resawing and my 18 General with it's Carter guides are precise. But it takes a lot of work to dial them in every time I change blades or perform maintenance. These Harvey bandsaws look awesome. They're a little more expensive but you get what you pay for I guess. I would consider buying one.
Yes!!
Thank you for Cool Tools. I enjoy them. I would like to know what you think about the Harvey G700 Gyro dust processor. I am interested in this Harvey machine
.
I bought jerrys sled yesterday and he called to tell me i should have maybe got the left side one and I had ordered the right but i wasnt thinking about what i wanted Nice guy pleasure to do business with
Thank you Stumpy. You’ve become a great trusted resource.
About books... I’ve been wanting to read about the creator of historic furniture pieces. Specifically the presidential Resolute Desk. Any thoughts on literature about it?
cool video I loved it
Harvey saws are probably the best China produced machines. I have a Harvey "industrial" Black Edition table saw with the Titanium nitride coating, and wouldn't trade it for anything else.
I have a thing called the "D&C FastTrack", and it looks to be almost identical to the "M-Power FastTrack". The "D&C FastTrack" was maybe - maybe - useful for sharpening a chisel for rough carpentry use, but was most often used as a paperweight.
I wouldn't spend $90+ US to try it on my good chisels and plane blades.
You can simply stick a few strong magnets to the wooden push stick for the same function.
Another great review video, James. Have you tried the Whiteside bits with Astra coating (from Bits & Bits)? I was wondering if it provides any advantage. Take care. Bill
The Dubby sled! Left them an email asking if they ship to Canada. Sure hope so. Thanks always for sharing!
Do they?! I would love to get one too
Joel Horne sadly, no.
I wonder if Harvey makes the Laguna 14BX. It looks and sounds a lot like my saw.
I don't know if I love or hate these videos since I have absolutely no money for these lovely tools
Nice saw, but 230 volts takes many of us smaller guys out.
It is on Amazon. Both Left and Right versions $179.00
Well, I guess I’m part of the “In-lineindustries” cult. I’ve been using a Dubby Sled (including a wooden fence and vinyl stick-on angle scale), Contractor Saw PALS, A-LINE-IT tool, Machined Pulleys and an Accu-Link Twist Belt on my Delta Contractor’s Saw for 3+ decades. They (collectively) made my saw a joy to use. I remember I was a little confused about one of the items I’d purchased, so I gave the support phone number a call (emails weren’t a thing back then). I was a little surprised, but it was Jerry who called me back and expertly answered all of my questions. Highly recommended!
With the low table height on the band saw, Do you think that it was designed for use with a mobile base?
My customer service experience with Dubby was not very good. I bought a sled several years ago. Just after (days in fact) I suffered a heart attack which resulted in Bi-pass surgery. So it was several months before I was able to get back in the workshop. I tried setting up the Dubby. There were several things that were either damaged or just missing. I contacted Jerry he assured me everything would be sorted. Despite several emails and failed phone calls, I am still waiting. So judging by Stumpy's comments re customer service, I fell through the net.
Email him again. I think he had an issue getting parts for a while. But it's sorted out.
@@StumpyNubs Thank you I will.
Hammond Trim o'matic table saw.
I bought a dubby sled years ago, worked well but the board was MDF that didn’t last long in the high humidity of my Florida shop.
Buy a new I am certain that you are just going to spend the money in some other way like rent or food. Besides something like this sometimes pays you back not to mention that the man that sells the sled deserves every penny.
Thoughts on Harvey Table Saw vs your SawStop?
Dubby Sled is out of stock. I hope them come back in as I would love to purchase one.
I have a suggestion for a future video topic: can you discuss spiral up and down router bits , spiral flush trim bits, and compression bits. I always find it confusing what to buy, what to use in router table versus what to use in handheld router. Your recommendations for what are best bits in each circumstances.(Maybe you have already done this but I could not find one of your videos dealing with this topic)
Dubby sled $179 on Amazon ,12 left right now. I believe my homemade sled is just as if not more accurate
Will the MK-2 also sharpen hand plane blades?
But which hand plane does it work best with? Do they make a 30cm Chisel?
Where can I find the video discussing both of the bandsaws that you have from Harvey?
Do you know what specific brands Harvey has built bandsaws or other woodworking tools for? I have searched the web, but have found nothing of use.
I have had mine for about 10 years. Accurate, but mine has a small shoulder that protrudes out against the wood at the bottom of the "fence". Don't understand why, would be more easy to use if the fence was perfect 90 degrees from top to bottom, where it sits on the white melamine. Are they still made this way?
This video is going to cost me some money. Now I need to figure out how to come up with the cash. Gee thanks James. Seriously You came up with some good suggestions. The only thing on this show I already have is the magnetic push stick. I too keep one on my table saw as a backup and one at the bandsaw. The one at the bandsaw has a narrower metal blade that’s perfect for cutting thin slices. I don’t dare use it on my SawStop.
I have an idea, how about using your rent or food money. Remember woodworking feeds your soul and sometimes even gives you cash.
Paisa Construction David yeah, try explaining that one to my wife. 😁
Stumpy, can you revisit the Dubby sled now that Peachtree Woodworking is the seller. Jerry is apparently no longer involved with the product and the In-Line Industries site no longer exists.
I have a Dubby and one from Patrick Sullivan ( on youtube) the dubby is good but patrick sullivans is seriously accurate
I would be interested to hear your opinion on the effectiveness of dust extraction on a bandsaw? Something I struggle with in my workshop. Thanks in advance.
Rob Cosman has a YT video on just this subject involving pvc tubes that capture the dust right off the blade. He swears by it.
In the market for a band saw--would love to have the C14 but I am limited to 110V in my shop... any suggestions?
You think they'll ever come out with the MK Ultra?
I saw the Dubby sled and wanted it, but at 180 USD, it would be like 250 CAD plus the custom broker to bring that to Canada. Nice product, but definitely out of reach for a Canadian hobbyist!
Does anyone have experience/info on using the Dubbly Sled on the Saw Stop job-site TS?
Hey, I think the Link for the Harvey Bandsaw changed. You might want to update the link in the description. Nice Video!
www.harveywoodworking.com/collections/bandsaws
Would that MK2 work for hand plane blades as well?
Narrow ones, such as block planes and #3/#4 smoothers.
I just purchased a whiteside bit for a beaded molding I was matching up. It worked very well. I think I need to upgrade the Bits I use the most. And would you recommend whiteside. As always love your videos.
I have a LOT of router bits. Almost all of them are Whiteside. And the ones that aren't will be when the time comes to replace them.
@@StumpyNubs thanks I think I will do the same at least with the most used
Sweeet!
based on your review or reference to these saws I bought the 15" version for an incredible price. 2350. any inspiring thoughts on the saw? id sure appreciate it. and im super excited to get the new saw. so thanks for that
The 15-inch? It's a beast of a saw. You're going to love it. The fence is the nicest I have ever used on a band saw. It says it will tension up to a 1-inch blade, but I've put a 1-1/4 inch one on it with no problems- that's how well built it is!
