Table saws usually come (so it appears to me) with left-tilt mechanisms.
However, you can opt with many manufacturers to buy a right-tilt version.


I won't jump into these religious wars, but will note that I think you have
the above backwards. Right tilt pre-dates left tilt in most saw models.
Left tilt has become widely available in the last ten years.

I don't think you will find any models in left tilt only, but you may still
find some in right tilt only.
==================================

I agree...Right tilt saws have beebn around a lot longer....
I also agree on the religious wars ....

I happen to own both a right tilt and a left tilt saw.... prefer the
right because I change blades more then I rip long bevels
therefor the right is more advantagous "for me"...

But honestly it really makes no difference which way the saw blade
tilts...
