Pre assembling stair treads #deck #builder

What happens here

The first step in preparing the stair treads is to precisely cut the composite decking material using a miter saw. This includes cutting the main tread piece and the nosing piece, ensuring accurate mitered angles (typically 45 degrees) on the edges that will join to form the stair nosing. This specific cut creates a clean, finished edge without visible end grain or fasteners from the top surface.

Goal: Prepare all individual composite pieces required for a single stair tread, including the nosing.
