I'm trying to sell my motorcycle and would like to buy a new bandsaw ans table saw. In looking at the TS, why would I need a Right tilt over a left tilt arbor? Or vice versa.

I think right tilt used to be the standard. Every blade has markings on the left side (with teeth pointing downwards). On a right tilt saw, that means the markings are readable. On a left tilt saw, the markings go towards the arbor.This is really interesting. I didn't even know they made right-tilt tablesaws. :slap:
If you don't have a preference, do like Fred did and buy the first saw that's a good deal. Then declare that your standard
I have had both. My first 2 saws were left tilt, the saw I am using now is a right tilt Unisaw that I got in 96.
Now that I have used both there's no way that I would go back to a left tilt table saw. The right tilt saw is so much easier to use and more accurate. You don't have to measure every time you used a different blade or a dado.
