About a month ago I finally got to buy myself a dedicated ripping blade. I got to use it for the first time today and was amazed at how easily it ripped through the pine I was cutting. It was so easy and quiet, I actually stopped after a couple of inches to make sure I was cutting through the board.
Don't why I waited this long to add this tool to my collection.

There is a reason they make both kinds...
They learned all about that back in the days when saws were all "Armstrong" powered and more effort "really" showed up.
