I've got an old Sears 12" machine with a 1/3 HP motor. Using the same
blade you've got, I have managed to resaw 6" red oak and walnut. It
works, and gives good results, but it's really an exercise in patience.
Feed rates had to be kept down to a few inches a minute to keep from
stalling the motor.

It was fine as a proof of concept, but not something I'd like to do on a
regular basis.
