Can someone please explain the term "tilting table saw" ?.
My understanding is that table saws either do or do not feature a saw blade that can be set at an angle. Any adjustment is achieved by turning a handwheel that moves the central arbor from the horizontal position to anything up to 45 degrees from that position. By definition the 'tilt' is therefore only of the blade (and attached motor unit).
I can appreciate that tilting the actual table itself may have the same result, but this seems clumsy.
Is the phrase "tilting table saw" just bad English, where the term tilting saw blade should have been used, or is there a choice of options?
:?
cheers,
