For many woodworkers, rust on bandsaws has long been a source of frustration. About ten years ago, Harvey began addressing this challenge by incorporating the TiN PVD Coating technology into products, reducing wear and rust on table saw surfaces.
However, Harvey is always striving for perfection. Five years ago, we started exploring the nickel plating technology.
After countless tests on the process and formulation, we have successfully implemented optimal nickel plating technology on the tabletop, the cast iron flywheel and the Worm Gear Tilting System within the bandsaws, ensuring a literally rust-free experience for users by completely eliminating issues of wear and rust.
This superior nickel plating solution adopts the autocatalytic plating process, combining with a mid-phosphorus chemical nickel formula, significantly enhances wear resistance and rust prevention capabilities, resulting in a smoother and more lustrous finish.
Furthermore, the nickel-plated table surfaces achieved an impressive hardness of 500HV - 700HV, considerably improving their wear resistance. Extensive friction tests using wooden blocks consistently demonstrated that the nickel layer effectively protected the table surface.
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.
We are confident that the Alpha HW615Pro Stain-less Bandsaw represents the ultimate solution to the rust problem in bandsaws. Guided by our steadfast philosophy that "Good Enough is Not Enough," this bandsaw exemplifies our unwavering dedication to innovation and precision.
What’s more, the Alpha HW615Pro is built with a 3 HP, 220V motor to ensure enough power to undertake any job that a 15" bandsaw can handle. It features a solid, reinforced structural steel frame; premium, heavy-duty cast iron flywheels; unique tool-less upper and lower blade guides; the newly developed COMPASS RG-2 Roller Guide for safe and enjoyable cutting; a substantial 20" x 20" work table; an extra-large precision high-low aluminum fence with a solid T-square gliding/locking structure; a worm gear system for smooth work table tilt; dual trunnions for stability; and a fully enclosed blade guard.
For woodworkers seeking a bandsaw that combines traditional reliability with innovative features, the Alpha HW615Pro is the ultimate choice. Experience the next level of industrial-grade woodworking machinery with Harvey Industries.

The worktable 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 performed a series of tests involving high temperatures and strong acids to determine the longevity of the nickel-plated surfaces. The results showed that, under normal conditions, the nickel-plated surfaces could retain their rust-preventive properties for many years. Impressively, they also exhibited excellent rust prevention in highly humid work environments.
A substantial 20" x 20" (508x508 mm) cast iron table offers a sturdy and expansive work area, treated with nickel-plating to resist rust and wear, ensuring exceptional resistance to rust and wear, which markedly extends its service life.
