I understand that there are blade-right and blade left circular saws. But
is a "left-tilt" saw blade something similar? Can a left-tilt blade only
be used on a blade-left CS?

Here is an example of what I am talking about:

PC's website calls it a "blade-left" blade. No reason you couldn't use it on a
blade-right CS, as long as you remember to install it with the label facing
left (inward) so the teeth are cutting in the right direction.

Sudden thought: we've had a few posts in the last year, both here and on
alt.home.repair, complaining of a CS blade that's burning instead of cutting,
that turned out to be due to installing the blade backward. I always wondered
how anyone could manage to do that. Now, maybe I understand: if you put a
blade-left blade on a blade-right saw (or vice versa) with the label facing
outward, that's exactly what you'd get.
