Happy New Year all!

I need to cut 3 pressure treated 4x4's into 36" lenghs for a small project
I am doing. Will the 4x4's do any special damage to my saw blades (I was
going to use my 10" sliding miter saw) or should I take them outside and
use a chain saw? I know there is arsenic in the pressure treating material

I'm not so sure about the arsenic. It is being highly regulated these days
for use in lumber.

If you bought it recently it probably does not have arsenic in it.

so I will wear a respirator in either case but I'm concerned about dulling
my blade.

TIA.
