What happens here
Align a track saw guide rail precisely with the chalk line. Once the guide rail is in place, use a track saw to make a clean, straight cut along the marked line through the composite decking boards. This type of saw and guide system ensures a very accurate and smooth edge, critical for a tight fit against a wall. Be prepared for a significant amount of plastic dust created during the cutting process.
Goal: Cut decking boards precisely to fit along the wall
