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.

Perhaps. ;~)



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.

I would think that properly tensioned the wax would not pose a problem.
Sometimes wax creates a more grabby surface and most manufacturers recomend
lightly oiling the blades.
