Using a left tilt saw, when ripping long miter cuts ( 36" ) do you use the
fence on the left of the blade or the right and why?

I find that when I use the fence on the right I have a hard time keeping the
stock against the fence, even with hold downs and push sticks it seems that
the stock wants to ride up the tilted blade.

I have not tried it with the fence on the left - for some reason it just
doesn't look safe to me and I like my fingers.

Considering getting a good large chamfer bit that will do a 45 miter on 4/4
stock.

Any thoughts on that?

Use a longer, shoe-type push _board_ that sits on top of the
workpiece
instead of a stick that just holds down the trailing end. Run a piece
of
friction tape along the bottom to prevent sideways slipping.
