@Crank- I have a newer model. Picked it up new after not seeing anything on CL for a while and needed one sooner rather than later. It was on sale, so why not. I wish I had had the $ at the time to go bigger.. Resawing a max of 4-5/8” is pretty lame.

@Stumpy- Honestly, I think the blade will dull and the tire bearings go bad long before you’d see the effects of not de-tensioning. Perhaps I’m wrong, but it sounds logical in my head
