I needed to resaw some 3" wide 5/4 oak into 1/4" pieces. Started to on my old Delta 14" bs, and the blade came off. The lower tire (urethane) had chunks out of it, and resawing would have to be put off until I got parts for it.
Being as they were only 3" wide, I did it on the ts, with a 24 tooth rip blade. 2" cut, flip board and cut thru.
Being as I use a thin kerf blade, I got 3 pieces out of it, and the cut quality was far better than the bs.
Also as the cut quality was better, I didn't have to allow as much for planing. I could have actually, just sanded them.
It was a lot faster than the bs also.
I think I will be using the ts for resawing boards 5" or less in width in the future.
Curious if anyone else prefers doing this?

I long for the days when Coke was a soft drink, and Black and Decker was a quality tool.
