right tilt vs. left tilt

[Bob G.]

================= Standard demensions are 50 right and 12 left ..but you can shift the rails left or right to suit your own needs.... The outer edge of my left hand cast iron wing is 20 inches to the left of the blade... The lenght of the rail itself is slightly over 70 inches..

My Biesemeyer is mounted on a Jet Cabinet saw... with both standard cast iron wings in place... I shifted the rails to the left a few inches thus I can rip 48" to the right and 14" left...without any problems ...and can push it 1/2 inch further if need be....but that makes the fence hang off the edge a little... Never been a problem in almost 15 years I have had it set up...

Somebody sell you a set of short rails...???

And BTW Biesmeyer used to sell rails in any lenght you wanted... have no idea if Delta changed things after they purchased Biesmeyer My Fence and saw are Pre-Delta ...

Mine's a pretty early version, as I recall it was spec'd by the model of the saw. They may well have saved a foot of rail knowing that there was little reason to put the fence on the left side of the blade on this saw. I have to admit that today was the first time I'd ever tried it.
