Although wide blades are best for resawing, using 1" blades on the Rockwell is a challenge. The carter blade guides are difficult to adjust, and 1" is the borderline of their capacity. Adjust them so that the back of the blade runs against the support bearing, rather than digging into the frame of the blade guide. This adjustment is particularly difficult on the lower guide. If you do allow the blade to dig into the blade guide, it may be difficult to detect the mistake. The saw will run fine, even though the frame of the lower guide is pushing the blade forward. There won't necessarily be any telltale noises or tracking problems. The only indications of a problem may be that the back of the blade starts to get hot from friction and will discolor as it picks up resins from the wood.

For even wider blades, it is necessary to remove the lower guide completely. Although not an ideal set-up, if the top guide is adjusted properly and the feed rate is reasonable, it cuts well.
