Good purchase. It will resaw just fine but you'll need to upgrade the motor to at least 1HP. I have a 1994 version of the same Delta 14 in. bandsaw that I use for everything, especially resawing. I performed some upgrades however, namely installed a Delta riser kit to increase the capacity to 10-12 in of resawing. This necessitated a 1HP motor upgrade. Replaced the stock fence with a Kreg fence, etc. Best resaw blade is 1/2 in. 3TPI but this needs more HP to drive it. I have a blog post talking about this with pics. Norman
