What happens here
With the router set up on the jig, carefully pass the router along the guides to cut the V-groove into the composite material. Perform multiple passes, gradually increasing the depth with each pass, to prevent overloading the router and to achieve a clean cut. Once the routing is complete, turn off the router, allow the bit to stop spinning, and then carefully remove the routed composite piece from the jig.
Goal: Cut the V-groove into the composite decking board.
