I'll complicate it a little bit and say that I'm right-handed with a right-
tilt saw, and was quite happy in my ignorance. Of course now that I know I
should have a left-tilt, my life has been a living hell and I can't even
walk into the shop anymore.

This one comes up alot - DAGS, and you will get a bunch of info. The "short
form" is that if you're left handed, go with a RT, right hand, LT. HTH

If you get a left tilt, the people who like right tilts will spend two weeks
giving you reasons why that was the wrong choice. If you get a right tilt,
the people who like left tilts will spend two weeks giving you reasons why
that was the wrong choice.

I, OTOH, will just scream now.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I feel better.

The real answer, is do some searches, because this subject has been beat to
death so many times, that no one wants to start it again.

If your saw tilts to the left, then stuff slides off to the left. Same with
the right. For this reason I like to keep my tablesaw level.
