What happens here
With the composite board precisely marked, proceed to cut the trim piece. Use a circular saw for long, straight cuts across the board. For any intricate cuts, such as notches to fit around the deck post or curved sections, switch to a jigsaw. Ensure the saw blades are suitable for cutting composite materials to get clean edges and prevent chipping. Always wear appropriate safety glasses during this step.
Goal: Cut the composite board into the custom-shaped trim piece.
