What happens here

This project demonstrates how to create a custom 'hot dog fold' corner for composite siding. This technique eliminates the need for separate corner trim pieces by routing a V-groove into the siding, heating it to make it pliable, folding it into a 90-degree angle with adhesive, and then securing it to the building. The result is a seamless and clean-looking exterior corner.

Want to learn how to make a decorative "hot dog" fold? Look. Here is my mark. The center of our cut should be at 2 and 3/8. So, I marked it. Now I need to make a guide for the router. The basis of our milling cutter here is 6 and 5/8. So I know that the distance from the center to this guide should be 3 and 1/4 with a tail . Now we have these screws here, because that's how I attach everything to the workbench, and then I'll close the holes. This is just to keep everything in place and not move, and these holes won't be a problem. Everything is aligned. Ready to work. Here it is. This is exactly what we need. Almost, almost , almost all the way through . Almost to the very top layer. Now I'm going to heat this up and make the same bend . That's it. Easy and simple. I will apply the activator. I'll press it with a scraper. Voila. So you've got your own corner, bent like a hot dog. Yes. Oh, that's great. That's it. Here's how it's done. Do you understand?
