Resewing has been hit or miss for me. Today I need enough to veneer both sides of a coffee table with 1/8" Mahogany. My stock was 9" wide RS but my saw will only fit 7 3/8" so some waste was in the works. I decided to get what I could and tore into the upper guide. A little trim here and there and now it's good for 7 3/4" That helps.
Put on an appropriate blade and started, and the result was a lot of wandering, and the belt slipped a lot.
Got into the belt problem and found that Grizzly had sold me a saw with a motor that didn't really fit and the belt couldn't be tensioned properly. Fixed that.
Back to the wandering cut, DOH I had not tensioned the blade. After that it went pretty well.
