I’m curious to know how you all cut your treads for tread returns. I’ve seen the router jig method, jig saw method, slide compound/jig saw method.
I usually use a bosch jig saw for circle stair treads and a slide compound/plunge cut with a power saw for straight treads. I’m not real happy with any of this, seems like I could always get em a little better. Whats the hot setup?
