    Switching sides on the saw

    Has anybody ever switched the guides around on a bandsaw so the blade came around on the right? Or on a 3 phs saw put the fence on the "back" and moved the switch? You could turn a right tilt into a left tilt or vice vera. Just a crazy random thought.

    Woodworker Wharton Esherick had a 2nd large band saw built around bicycle wheels with the guides on the left so he had a L&R pair of saws for making furniture parts.
