I understand that there are blade-right and blade left circular saws. But
is a "left-tilt" saw blade something similar? Can a left-tilt blade only
be used on a blade-left CS?
Here is an example of what I am talking about:

You can tilt a blade any way you want, buddy. Personally, I'm tilting to the
right. Tom
Someday, it'll all be over....
I have also seen in catalogues, blades that cut extra smooth on one side,
and I guess not so smooth on the other side. It apparently is how they grind
the blade to dedicate the extra good cuts on the left or the right side of
the blade. Mostly used in automatic cutting equipment where you don't care
how rough a cut you get on the waste trim.

Hand held saws can be purchased with the blade on the left of the
motor or the right.
Having the blade on the left side of the saw makes it easier for a
right handed operator to see where the cut is going.

OK, I'll bite. What's a "blade-left"? the last one in the box?
Seriously, I can see no reason for any 'handedness" in a saw blade.
it shouldn't have any preference to cut clean. I'm left-handed, and
sometimes that does get in the way though; radial arm saws are the
pits, so I abandonned mine for safety.
Dan.
Those nails with the head on the wrong end are for the other side of the
house.

PC's website calls it a "blade-left" blade. No reason you couldn't use it on a
blade-right CS, as long as you remember to install it with the label facing
left (inward) so the teeth are cutting in the right direction.
Sudden thought: we've had a few posts in the last year, both here and on
alt.home.repair, complaining of a CS blade that's burning instead of cutting,
that turned out to be due to installing the blade backward. I always wondered
how anyone could manage to do that. Now, maybe I understand: if you put a
blade-left blade on a blade-right saw (or vice versa) with the label facing
outward, that's exactly what you'd get.

The funny thing is that if you put them back in the pouch sometimes they
change. I can only assume this has something to do with Quarks and quantum
mechanics.

*HINT* - - - It is still necessary for the operator to be more intelligent
that the tool.

Wait until I get off the floor and I'll *try* to think of an answer! Love
it! What a wonderful gotcha!

According to PC's website, it's listed as a "blade-left" not left tilt.
I'll bet it's simply an error in the Amazon listing.

Okay... since no one else got it right, the answer is.....
The blade-right is used on the right side of the house and the blade-left
are used on the left side.
Scheeeesh, you guy's must also throw away half the nails you use cause the
pointy end is pointing at you when you take it out of the pouch.
So now you know.

heh. somewhere somebody in some toolmaker's publicity department
decided that they needed to sell blades marketed for worm drive saws.
you know, the ones with the blade on the other side. so they printed
the labels on the other side of some blades and sold them as something
different for more money.
they aren't different, or better, or worth more money. they just have
the label printed on the other side. if it's worth more money to you
to see the maker's advertising better on the blade while it's on your
saw, go for it. whatever, just remember to make sure that the teeth
point forward when changing blades.

Wow, thanks!! A bit late though. I still have my righty in perfect
condition, the way I like to keep my tools, and don't have a lot of
time left to play. Nice to know trhough.
