Step 2 · Cut Tread Material
Using the measurements obtained in the previous step, carefully cut your chosen tread material (e.g., plywood, laminate, or specialized tread material) to the precise depth and width for each stair. For a professional finish, consider cutting the material so it fits just shy of the riser, leaving a small gap at the back. If you are cutting a material that requires a specific blade type for a clean cut, ensure you use the correct blade. For example, a fine-tooth blade is recommended for plywood to minimize tear-out.
