Thanks everyone for your input. It looks like I will be going for the
left tilt, and sticking with a single phase 3hp or 5hp Green Monster
I am right handed and this is my first table saw, and I've been
saving up my pennies. I was also able to use the Grizzly online shop
program and space does not seem to be an issue once I added all of the
items that I want in my 16' x 12' workshop.



Regarding that last part: If this is your first table saw, you _may_ not
have allowed for sufficient infeed and outfeed room for your saw. When
cutting small parts, no big deal. When the rips and crosscuts get to desk,
bookcase and tabletop sizes, you need to allow for the full length and
width of the parts to clear the sharp, wizzing parts on the way in, as well
as on the way out.

This detail sometimes escapes even more experienced wooddorkers, when they
are trying to arrange their limited space to accomodate that new (to them,
at least) acquisition. DAMHIKT.

Space, tables and benches can be used for multiple purposes, as long as
there are no walls, columns or immobile tools in the way.

Enjoy your new saw.
