Portable band saw for re-sawing?

I need a bandsaw to resaw some wooden blocks into wood scales for handles and big bandsaws are just too much. I found an offer on Craigslist for a Milwaukee 2630N model brand new For 100$. I figured I could get a metal and wood bandsaw two in one if I build a stand for it.

My question is,
Can it accuratley resaw wood? I can add a fence and miter gauge if needed.

Yes you can, I have made about a 8x8 "table" for mine. I'm assuming that is the regular Porta-band everyone uses. I have been in 3 local guys shops and all had them set up that way so I set mine up to be the same. You could get creative with slots and a fence in the table to do small things. I cut out all my handle stuff from larger sheets with mine. GL
