I can't argue with your logic, but I recently resawed about a dozen green
apple logs on my Rikon 14" deluxe with no such problem. A couple approached
the 13" capacity of the saw. Maybe I was just lucky.

I have heard of people actually waxing the blade. I haven't done that, but
you might want to give it a try. I worry that it might make the blade slip
on the wheels.
