Thanks, that video was a big help. I've got the smaller cast iron table and no rip fence, but I'll try using his tip to find the set of the blade and try again with the miter gauge and a featherboard.
Edit To Add: After the new blades arrive, of course!

Sharp blade MAY make this go away!

Disclaimer: I have not tried the following, saw it online once, haven't yet found it again.
The claim was that a fence causes tracking problems when resawing. The fence keeps one side of the wood from moving away from the blade while allowing the other side the freedom to move away from the blade as it cuts. This causes unequal pressure on the two sides of the blade causing it to go off track. The suggestion is to use a fence that ends short of the blade so the blade won't encounter that difference.

The blade may wander either direction. Therefore the vertical 'post' type fence works for resawing.
