What happens here
Following the marking, the Makita track saw and guide rail are set up and aligned precisely with the marked line on the deck's outer edge. The carpenter makes a series of long, controlled cuts along the entire perimeter. This process creates a perfectly straight and finished edge, which is essential for installing fascia boards or railings. The video emphasizes the precision and efficiency of the track saw for this task by showing multiple angles of the cutting and removal of waste strips.
Goal: Achieve a perfectly straight and finished edge along the entire outer perimeter of the deck.
