Set the miter saw to the angle determined in Step 1 (e.g., 37 degrees). If your miter saw stand has extensions, utilize them. Create a stop block on your miter saw setup to ensure all balusters are cut to the exact same length. This allows for efficient, repetitive cuts. Place one or more balusters (depending on your saw's capacity) against the fence and stop block, then make the cut. Repeat this process for all balusters required for the railing section.
