What happens here
Prepare the composite decking material by securing it onto a custom routing jig. This jig should be designed to hold the material firmly and guide the router to create a specific V-groove profile for the corner joint. Once the material is secure, carefully set up a powerful router, such as the Hercules brand shown, with an appropriate bit for cutting the V-groove. Ensure the router is properly adjusted for depth and alignment with the jig's guides.
Goal: Set up the composite board and router for routing the V-groove joint.
