Prepare Rafters by Cutting to Size

What happens here

Before installation, each rafter needs to be precisely cut according to the roof's pitch and design specifications. This involves marking and cutting the plumb cut where the rafter meets the ridge beam, the birdsmouth cut where it rests on the wall plate, and the tail cut for the eave overhang. A circular saw is the primary tool used for these precise angular and straight cuts, ensuring that each rafter fits correctly and contributes to the structural integrity of the roof.

Goal: Rafters are cut to their specific lengths and angles, including plumb cuts, birdsmouth cuts, and tail cuts, using a circular saw for accurate fitting according to the roof pitch.
