Yes but its still more of an angle than a high adjusted blade and steep approach. I seem to recall reading like 35 years ago you want to adjust blade height with as many teeth in the cut as possible. Now ripping with a bandsaw would seem to suggest a steep angle isn't a bad thing. They don't angle bandsaws into the cut. Sounds like the jury is still out on this one.
