Locked in for justice!

What happens here

After making the parallel cuts with the circular saw, use a hammer to carefully tap and break out the wood pieces between the cuts. Once the bulk of the wood is removed, use an oscillating multi-tool with a wood-cutting blade to clean up the bottom and sides of the dadoes, ensuring a flat and smooth surface. This step is crucial for achieving a precise fit for the new joist or blocking.

Goal: Remove waste wood and refine dado cuts
