On a left tilt, the arbor points to the right and stacking all those
cutters up screws up the rule on the front of the saw - if you're
measuring from the fence on the right. 'Course, so does changing from a
regular 1/8" kerf blade to a 3/32" blade. I usually mark on the stock and
line it up with the blade, so no prob.


Right, or I guess there are two other possibilities with a left tilt
(assuming the leftmost end blade in the dado stack is 1/8"):

1) Subtract 1/8" from your measurement to set the fence, and then reference
off the left side of the dado...

2) Make a test cut to determine the error (width of dado stack minus 1/8")
and factor that into your fence setting so you can reference from the right
side of the dado.

Seems like any of the three options, including yours, are only minor
inconveniences.
