It will also tilt down (front edge) 45 degrees more. It has stops in boths of these positions. You can place a miter guage in the table slot to get perfect miters.

Can you adjust the angle of the table versus the face of the disc? According to their site: "Tilting cast-iron table with 90 degress and 45° positive stops locks in position with spring-loaded, table-locking handles." But I can't tell if they mean you can turn the table 45 or 90 degrees from horizontal along the disc (sort of a see-saw motion front to back) or 45-90 degrees perpendicular to the disc face (like a yaw motion left to right (if you're standing in front of the sander with the disc facing to your right.)
