Hi all, I’m new to this forum but I’m just dying to find out more specific info on my unisaw. I purchased a 36-755 on-line, I’ve been trying to find a reasonably priced unisaw for a while and found this one on e-bay. In doing some research on the web, it appears as if this is a left tilt model can anyone confirm or deny? I’ll have it by the end of next week but I guess I’m just antsy!
Thanks all!!

Hate to break it to you, but a 36-755 is not a Unisaw; it's Delta's contractor saw on a cabinet base with a 2 hp motor. It also has the old Jet Lock rip fence system. This is according to a 1993 and a 1996 Delta industrial machinery catalog I've got laying around. It looks like left-tilt because the motor cover is on the left; that's where the motor goes when it tilts right, not where it is when the blade is square with the table (as on a left-tilt Unisaw).
I couldn't find the auction on ebay's completed auctions, but if the description said "Unisaw", I'd stop the check.
Edit: Just found the completed item on ebay. The description conforms to the Delta catalog for the 36-755 (which I described above), but the picture is of a standard right-tilt Unisaw with 50" commercial grade Biesemeyer fence and auxiliary table. For $610 plus shipping it may be an OK deal (10 years in a home shop, old style Jet Lock fence, per the description), but others on this forum are much more familiar with this saw, or the Contractors saw on which it is based, than I am. But it is definitely not a Unisaw. Sorry.
