They don't call me the pocket hole master for nothing...

What happens here

After drilling pocket holes, use a marking tool, such as an angle finder or speed square, to mark precise 45-degree angles on the ends of the composite decking boards that will form the mitered corners of the stair treads. Once marked, carefully cut these angles using a miter saw. Ensure the cuts are clean and precise to allow for tight-fitting joints. The video shows an example of cutting a mitered piece.

Goal: Create precisely angled cuts for the corner sections of the stair treads
