What happens here
Begin by placing a composite decking board on a sturdy workbench or sawhorse setup. To ensure the board remains stable and stationary during the routing process, create a temporary jig. Position smaller pieces of wood around the composite board, forming a secure channel. Use a drill/driver to screw these wood scraps into the workbench or supporting structure, tightly sandwiching the composite board. This firm hold is crucial for precise and safe routing.
Goal: Stabilize the composite decking board for accurate routing
