Default Ripping 12 foot PT TwoBy

OK, I need to rip them down into two by six boards (or whatever
ripping them down the middle will actually yield).


My first preference would be to rip with a bandsaw, actually; less
kerf, less sawdust. But, feeding something that long to
a stationary tool is a two-man job.

I've not seen rip blades in throwaway carbide for 7" skilsaws,
but if there are any, that'd be a good choice. Remember
to collect and dispose of the sawdust, it has toxic stuff in it.
Give the poor saw a few minutes to cool between planks.
