What happens here

Set a track saw to a 45-degree bevel angle. Secure the wood panels to a workbench, ensuring they are stable and won't shift during cutting. Use the track saw to precisely cut the edges of the panels at a 45-degree angle. This creates the mitered joints that will form the corners of the console table, allowing them to meet seamlessly. Ensure clamps are placed underneath the workpiece to support the cut.

Goal: The main console table pieces are cut with 45-degree mitered joints for a clean, seamless appearance, utilizing a track saw for precision.

In my opinion, this is how you can get the best result. The entire
