Re: Elevating Plate
Yeah...? the left side arm is a good option if the saw body need to be lower on one side but my saw needs to be lower on both sides. Fortunately the pivot on my saw was dead on square. Watch this

Re: which version to get
I bought a G9742 saw in 2006. The miter feature is very handy, and I use it a lot. Saves a lot of set up time. The stand, has a smaller footprint, and is much better built than regular 4¡± x 6¡±
