What happens here
A router with a specialized bit (likely a chamfer or V-groove bit) is used to cut a precise groove along the edge of the composite board, guided by the previously installed strip. This creates a mitered edge or a recess that will form the seamless corner when joined with another piece. The process involves carefully moving the router along the guide, creating a clean, angled cut.
Goal: Create a precise mitered or angled edge on the composite board.
