Delta is advertising a new jig, 34-184 as compatible w/ left tilt saws. I’m guessing, from looking at pictures(I haven’t been able to actually handle one), that the only significant difference between it and the old 34-183 is either the bar position or amount of travel. This would be to compensate for the different miter slot to blade distance of the two types of saw. If so I should be able to move the bar on my old jig to make it work with a left tilt saw. Can anyone tell me if this is so or should I buy a new jig?

Well I just went to have a look at my tenoning jig, and couldn't find a model number on it and, of course, I couldn't find the manual either.
However, when I got it (a year or 2 ago), I remember that it didn't fit the right-side slot on my table saw (too far from the blade), so I had to take it apart and reassemble it for left side operation. I don't recall it being a big deal and it was described in the manual.
Hope this is of some help.

Feb/05 issue of FWW has a test of ten tennoning jigs. Picked the 34-184 as Best Overall.
The only improvements I can see over the older 34-183 are a quick release for coarse adjustment and toolless clamp position adjustment. Both nice features to have.
