Default woodworking/millwork question

...
Can anyone tell me if a professional woodworking shop can rip a piece of
wood measuring 9" x 2" x 8' down to a 9" x .75" x 8'? Does this type of
rip have a unique name?

Thanks!


The operation is resawing, as most agreed here. Then you need to run it in a
big ass jointer to get it flat, a planer to get it to even dimensional
thickness and a final pass in the drum sander to get it smooth.

But if you have the skills of the late Dick Proenneke, all you need is a
hand saw!
