What I am trying to do is shred a few limbs from
time to time. I have used it and if I was cautious with the feed speed, it
worked fine.
If we were going to feed 6" logs rapidly into several saws, you are correct
that we would need a lot of power. To avoid bogging the saws, we will have
to control how fast the branch feeds into the saws.
You are correct that we must align the table so that all of the contact of
the branch into the saw is at the middle or above. I have had no trouble
with it kicking back. Still, I think standing to the side, so that your
body is not in front of the blades, is a good idea.
One tooth will not stop us. Two or more together will and you are correct,
it will be a pain to disassemble the stack.

That is a multi-blade rip saw and it has a 100 hp motor. There is also
the problem of feeding. A ten inch blade with a one inch arbor and
washers is only going to give you a feed capacity of 3 inches or so.
Then how do you keep the blades from quickly grabbing the wood and
binding up? If you have the blades cutting so they pull the wood they
are just going to grab on and stall the motor. If you have the blades
so they push the wood they are going to spit whatever you put in there
right back at you.
I have also had carbide teeth come right off saw blades from feeding too
fast and hitting a knot or nail. It would be a real pain to have to
take apart the whole blade stack and replace a blade every time a tooth
comes off.
