Ditto the Snodgrass video. I followed his instructions and have gotten very accurate resaw thicknesses. Snodgrass claims the fence can be out by 1/4¡± and still cut straight. I¡¯m not sure about that but Michael Fortune¡¯s point about the fence being parallel to the t-slot makes sense for the reason of using the slot for auxiliary jigs.

Craig,
????? Looks like you have a great saw. I would get a 1" carbide tipped blade like the Woodmaster CT by Lenox and put plenty of tension on it. They are expensive, but will last easily 10 times longer than steel blades. I would try different ways to adjust the blade as to how it rides on the wheel. Don't worry about not being able to move your table in relation to the saw. Also, adjust your guides as per the Snodgrass videos. I think you will not have any more drift problems. And if you really get into resawing, consider building a taller fence and something to keep pressure on the stock to keep it tight against the fence as you saw. I used to hate resawing, but since doing all the above to my saw, I really enjoy it now.
