Not going to burn it up. I have run my Forrest, full up buried,
resawing a 1x6 piece of ipe. Ipe is approximately 2.5 time harder than oak.

And with a fully buried blade and just a little experience, one can
tell by the sound if the blade is starting to bog down or the smell
if it's starting to burn.
