Thanks for passing along your experience. I'm still curious how it would "fit" my unisaw.
Oh, sorry.
I'm pretty sure the Unisaw has a shorter table than the Harvey. The depth on a Harvey table is 31". The Harvey slider comes with additional hardware and instructions to attach to a Sawstop. Hole orientation is compatible with Shop Fox and Grizzly too. Looking at mine, about the only other thing that I see that might arise from attaching it to other saws is the need to drill holes in either the slider or the saw table.
I don't see any issues with drilling additional holes on the slider other than possibly running into the situation existing holes are so close to where you want to drill as to create a problem getting the new hole started. There are a total of 14 pre-drilled holes on the slider. On mine, only 3 are used.
To install the slider, I had to cut the fence bar, reducing the ability to slide the fence to the left. Blade tilt on the Harvey is to the left. The reduced fence travel hasn't been an issue for me.
I previously owned a Delta contractors saw that had a Delta sliding table on it. My neighbor across the street now has it. I didn't see any issues with attaching the Harvey slider to that table.
