What happens here
For boards that need to butt tightly against facial walls or other pre-installed pieces, the presenter suggests adding a slight bevel (a couple of degrees) to the cut edge. This can be done 'quick and dirty' by placing a pencil underneath the board on the miter saw table, effectively tilting the board to create the desired angle during the cut. This technique allows the board to fit snugly, minimizing visible gaps.
Goal: This tip demonstrates how to cut boards with a slight bevel to achieve a tighter, more professional fit against adjacent surfaces, especially for trim carpentry.
