@Jim Finn. What blade do you use?  I have the same saw with a riser block.  Never resawed with it.  I would like to but when I ask what blade I ger many different answers!

I use a 1/2" , 3 teeth per inch Lennox carbide blade. They cost over $200 now.  ANy brand will work well but I do so much resawing that I wear the blades out too fast to use cheaper blades.  If not resawing a lot I would go with cheaper blades. Just stick with 1/2 blade and 3 teeth per inch.

Use the widest blade your saw can use with the lowest tooth per inch. I usually get three per inch. I like Timberwolf blades.

Most bandsaw blades are steel and will dull fairly quickly. How long they last depends on the wood you are cutting. I have destroyed bandsaw blades and am trying to resaw ipe.
