1) Bevel wheel on right
Not a problem. I'm used to it being on the left. With wheel on the left I
can operate it with my left hand and use my right for raising/lowering the
blade at the same time.

Well I have a hard time chewing bubble gum and walking....sometimes... LOL
I know that cranking both at once would end up with me cranking one in the
wrong dirrection.


6) Storage room under right wing.
On a mobile base it doesn't really matter much. I have to move the tool to
get set up anyway.

Well, I have a left tilt, and a mobile base and storage under the right
extension table. You may still be able to utilize some of that space too IF
you are interested. I have a pic if you would be interested seeing my under
table storage solution. I have a 6 drawer unit, for small items, a seperate
shelf for both my left and right Dubby sleds, rip fence, and 2 bevel gauges.
These all ride around comfortably on top of the mobile base.


Here are the additional reasons for the right tilt.

1) Cheaper at least for the brand I decided upon.
This reason always gets a star * or at least a happy face :-)

Always a valid reason.


2) Right tilt motor doesn't interfere with fitting a sliding table.
Who knows, I may get one someday.

Correct in most cases... IIRC JET offers a sliding table with left tilt but
that would pretty much limit your choice to Jet.

So really, except for the massive feeling of guilt from buying a saw that
tilts the opposite way from my politics, I am happier with a right tilt.
It
will also be easier to use after I cut off my right hand....

So there you go, personal preference... For some reason I was under the
impression that this was your first. Old habits are hard to break.

Thank you.
