I am splurging and getting a Highland Park 18" with everclean system. Really excited. I'll let you guys know how it works out..... Hoping for the best. I called/emailed them over and over and over about the width of the saw - to make sure I can wheel this into my basement door lol... They tell me it will fit at 30" wide and my door is 35". If I get a shipment with a bigger width I'm screwed - no where to put it lol So - please PRAY FOR ME  **Sarcasm off now** |

If so it says on their website that it will add 10” to the width of the saw. You should check and confirm. I think there is another way you can do it by putting it on an additional tank below the saw but that costs extra and I am not sure exactly how that works. |

Yes it ships separately and you mount it yourself. So I can get it in the door and then install that - at least that is a plus !

Before you go to mount the everclean, get a strong helper. One guy holds the machine in place while the other gets the bolts in place. You will be glad you did.

I'll have to find someone to do that. I was assuming it was pretty heavy, but this will definitely help me to know what to have ready when I start. |

And make sure you have all of the correct tools before you begin.

I'm also excited for you. I know how excited I was to get my used old saw. Sounds like you'll have to have a strong guy or 2 lined up anyway to get it all down the stairs unless you happen to have on really good hand truck! Good like, and as others have said, post some pics.

So excited. I have a 14" and love it. Wish I could swing the everclean, but it is as expensive as my saw!.

Wow, that’s great, I would be psyched too!
My only advice is, when you install it, take your time, double check everything, and make sure the job is done right.

You just beat me to it Starguy. I was just going to post that it should be soon! I'm hoping HP's timelines are accurate as I'm waiting too! |

Everything is installed... Now I have to figure out why I have a few tiny leaks on the everclean system. Would you advise that I tighten everything up very tight, where the motor and the connectors are at? Or, am I always going to have a few tiny leaks and I need to just pure something under the machine? If this, what would you a advise. It's in my basement, so not really trying to muck everything up. More pics to come!     |

There should not be any leaks between the everclean and a new saw. Contact them immediately. Talk to John, not one of the girls.

I have a leak at the nipple for the cleanout also, I used plumbers take before tightening it. It's as tight as it will go. Any ideas on how to stop that also? I though about maybe something could be put inside the machine over that hole... Just not sure what. I will call John today about the everclean leaks.   |
