Thank you all for the replies. I will try it with a resaw blade - I
purchased a 3/4" blade along with the saw for just that purpose. If that
works out, I guess I will leave well enough alone.
3/4" is pretty wide for a 14" saw and needs a lot of tension. I use a 1/2"
on my Jet.
I want to agree with this. I have a 3/4" for my saw and the saw
tensions it just fine, but it is a new saw with a new spring and I
imagine I'll have to replace the tension spring sooner than I would if
I'd gotten a 1/2" blade for resawing if I hope to keep using the big
blade without problems.

Thanks. I may have jumped the gun on getting the blade. I saved shipping
by ordering it now. That's ok, there are lots of blades out there.
I appreciate all the helpful advice.
