What happens here

To ensure consistent cuts for over a hundred boards, a stop block is created. A piece of wood is measured and then screwed into the workbench next to the miter saw's fence using an impact driver and wood screws. This stop will allow for repeatable cuts without constant re-measurement, although the first board's measurement will be double-checked. The main board is placed against the stop, and the first cut is made with the miter saw.

Goal: Create a consistent cutting setup for multiple boards.

hop right into it we've got over a hundred cuts to make to do this dock so we only want to measure once so Frankie builds a stop but he has to make sure that the saw is secured as well as the stop what Matt do our first one anyway the stop allows us to but our material right up to it and make one cut identical every time we secure both the saw and the stop that way nothing can move on us but we will double-check our measurements as we're going through and making the console don't like you say if
