-
- In order to make bevel cuts, one must arrange that the blade be
- at some other angle than 90 degrees to the table. Most of the
- time, the blade (which is held on the shaft by the arbor) is
- tilted (which may involve tilting the motor, as well). But
- occasionally, one will find a tilting table saw, in which the
- arbor is stationary, but the table tilts.
-
- The Shopsmith mark V is a tilting table saw.
-
- Bandsaws come in a variety of configurations, almost always they
- have a tilting table. But there are some tilting wheel saws out
- there.
