What happens here

With the horizontal soffit cut line now marked, the presenter proceeds to cut along this line using a circular saw. This cut removes the remaining excess wood from the underside of the rafter tail, creating a flat, horizontal surface for the soffit to be attached to.

Goal: Cut off the excess wood to create a flush surface for the soffit
