Safe way to resaw with a table saw
When I resaw with my table saw, I am careful to saw slightly less that half way through the board. I then flip the board over and saw slightly less that half way on the other side. I complete the cut with a hand saw. I recently resawed 5 inch oak with my 1.5 hp contractor's saw. It's best to use a sharp, thin kerf, ripping blade.

Shame on you Don. This man is an ADMITTED novice and you go and encourage him to do something the vast majority of seasoned WWer's would even think of doing on a Tablesaw.
Holy Moley !!
If you get offended by my chastising...so be it. You need it for encouraging him to try that.
