Too much time for just for one piece of @deckorators? #deck #carpentry #build
What happens here
Using a table saw, carefully cut the second piece of composite material that will mate with the V-groove. This cut will typically be a V-shape or a precise angle that fits perfectly into the routed groove. Ensure the table saw's fence and blade angle are set accurately for a tight, flush joint. Follow this by using a circular saw, such as the DeWalt model shown, to make any final trimming cuts to length or profile for both pieces of composite material. This ensures the custom corner trim will fit precisely into its intended location.
Goal: Shape the second composite piece to fit the V-groove and trim both pieces to final dimensions.
