I just set up my new Grizzly 1023SL Left-tilting table saw. The garage has been about 104 degrees lately so I just work a few minutes each morning before I leave for work.
I am setting up the Grizzle Tenon Jig and an Incra miter sled 5000. Both of these are designed for right-tilting saws but have set-up options for left tilting saws.
My problem is that I am right-handed and I stand to the left of the wood as I feed it through the saw. The changes for left-tilting saws involve going to the right of the blade. The stop switch is on the left and I am trying to take safety procedures seriously.
Should I keep the standard set-ups for the Tenon Jig and Miter Sled and only use them with the blade set at 90 degrees, or use the alternate set-up, become ambidextrous, and learn to turn off the saw in emergencies with my left big toe?
