The General has the added feature of a tilting head
and a pivoting fence - handy if you want to do angled
mortises - chairs and splayed leg tables etc..

I've been wondering about that... does the fence pivot a full ninety degrees?
Seems to me it would have to, in order for the tilting head to do any good,
but I seem to recall, the one time that I looked at this unit (over a year
ago) that the fence pivot was limited to about 60 degrees.

The head pivots on the vertical axis left/right +/- 30 degrees and the
fence pivots on the horizontal axis to +30 degrees. Not sure why the
fence would have to pivot a full 90 degrees. For that you could just
clamp a piece of squared MDF or wood.
