Ahhhhh, the light bulb brightens. I have the G0555, and it has two
metal sealed bearings to keep the blade in line. They seem to work
pretty good so far. Not too impressed with the blade that came with it,
but will put on the Olsen blade tomorrow, and try some resawing. Rewired
it for 220VAC, and am pleased with the saw so far. Thanks for the help.

I am pretty sure you know this already:

Bandsaw re-sawing will not leave a nice clean smooth surfaces ready for
the finishing brush. Also when re-sawing, each blade has a drift angle,
some smaller than others, and you will need to find that drift angle and
swing the stock left or right to compensate. This will minimize the
rough surface of the re-sawed wood.
