That's never been a problem with any properly set up band saw I've owned.
What is a problem is getting enough tension on a 3/4" blade on many of
today's stock 14" bandsaws.

I do agree about the 1/2" blade. I have a new 1/2" , 3tpi TimberWolk that
resaw's like a dream.

According to Scott Phillips, and I agree with him, the reason not to use a
3/4" wide blade on a 14" saw is that the wheels are just barely wide
enough
for the blade. Given this, all it takes is a minimal tracking error and
the
teeth begin to ride on the metal edge of the wheel taking some of the set
out of the blade and ruining it. A 1/2" wide blade will allow you to resaw
very accurately. It is all you will need. Save your money.
