What happens here
A new piece of composite decking material is prepared for the corner. A small, thin strip of wood or composite is screwed onto the larger composite board to act as a guide. This guide ensures that subsequent cuts or routing operations are straight and precise, crucial for achieving a clean mitered joint. A DeWalt impact driver is used to secure the guide.
Goal: Set up the composite board with a guide for precise routing.

- DeWalt Impact Driver DeWalt — Driving screws to secure the guide strip
