What happens here
The worker adjusts the depth of the circular saw blade. Then, they make multiple passes with the saw to cut a notch or lap joint into the side of the wooden post. This notch will serve as a secure seating area for a beam, allowing for a stronger, more stable connection.
Goal: Create a notch for beam attachment
