For woodworkers, corroded machine tables are a very frustrating condition.
About ten years ago, Harvey took up this challenge.
By applying TiN PVD coating technology in the manufacture of the products, wear and manufacturing of the products, wear and corrosion on the sliding and drive wheel surfaces are reduced / eliminated.
Harvey always strives for perfection. Five years ago, we began researching nickel-plating technologies. After countless attempts concerning process engineering and formulations, we have integrated an optimal, practical technology for the surface finishing of our saw table plates, wheels, pulleys, and not least, our dovetail pin systems into our production processes. This now guarantees the machine operator a literally “rust-free” experience.
In terms of application technology, the autocatalytic coating process is used here. Nickel, alloyed with a phosphorus component, serves as the coating material. These components significantly enhance the wear resistance and corrosion resistance compared to the base material, resulting in a smoother and more polished surface.
Our nickel-plated table surfaces have hardness levels exceeding 500 HV. This indicates a very high wear resistance. Self-conducted friction tests involving sliding wood materials on the nickel-plated surface consistently showed that the nickel layer effectively protects the table surface against abrasion. Additionally, the excellent sliding properties maintain a constant and low feed force requirement.
We also conducted high-temperature and acid corrosion tests to determine the service life of the nickel-plated surfaces. The results showed that, under normal operating conditions, the nickel-plated surfaces maintain their corrosion resistance for years, even in environments with high humidity.
We are convinced that the ALPHA HW110SE series table saws provide the ultimate solution to corrosion problems. Guided by our unwavering philosophy of “Good Enough is Not Enough,” these saws exemplify our relentless commitment to innovation and precision. At the heart of this groundbreaking functionality is the innovative Big Eye cutting guide system, which has already revolutionized precision and user-friendliness in woodworking.

Superior Durability and Resistance: The table undergoes a chemical nickel-plating process that bonds the nickel layer thickly to the base material, reaching an impressive hardness range of 500 HV to 700 HV, significantly enhancing its durability and resistance to corrosion and wear. Extensive friction tests using wooden blocks consistently demonstrated that the nickel layer can effectively protected the table surface.
Additionally, we conducted a series of high-temperature and strong acid corrosion tests to evaluate the longevity of the nickel-plated surfaces. The results indicated that, under normal usage conditions, the nickel-plated surfaces could maintain their rust prevention performance for years. Notably, even in highly humid working environments, they exhibited exceptional rust prevention capabilities.
