I saw this saw on the interwebs and didn't realize that Bursgreen made a tilting saw. There is another example on owwm but I thought I would place these photos here. The tilt goes rightward as an arm pushes the lower wheel leftward from the base. It is an interesting and likely rare setup even amongst ship saws.
