Pro tip, make a jig for repetitive cuts! #tricksofthetrade

What happens here

Once the decking board is securely positioned, activate the DeWalt miter saw and slowly bring the blade down through the composite material to make a precise crosscut. After the cut is complete and the blade has stopped spinning, carefully lift the saw blade, remove the cut piece, and slide the remaining portion of the composite decking board forward to the next marked cut line. Repeat this process for all required cuts, ensuring each piece is accurately cut to length. Maintain a steady hand and consistent pressure throughout each cut for optimal results.

Goal: Accurately cut multiple composite decking boards to desired lengths.
