Since either a Delta 36-717 or 36-720 hybrid saw is in the works,
how about a gentle discussion of pros and cons of each. Other
than the tendency to bind being eliminated on a left tilt, anything else?


5. With a Left tilt, when both edges of a board are beveled, the sharp point of the
bevel is up on the fence when cutting the second bevel as opposed to the
bottom of the fence where it might slip under.

That's an excellent point. I remember having this problem years ago. I think this has
tilted me toward a left-tilt since I've been happy with the fence on the right for
almost 30 years.

Thanks to everyone who posted their comments.
btw, the 36-717 is left tlt; the 36-720 is the same saw with right tilt.
Both come with a Biesemeyer BC-30 fence
