Here we brought our bold borders in as breaker boards, I think this is turning out SICK!!

What happens here

A track saw, guided by a long rail, is used to make a perfectly straight and clean cut along the perimeter of the installed deck boards. This is crucial for creating a crisp edge, often in preparation for a picture-frame border or to trim off any inconsistencies. The saw moves smoothly along the clamped track, ensuring high precision.

Goal: To achieve a perfectly straight and finished edge along the deck's perimeter.
