   Using a circular saw, carefully cut along all the marked riser and tread lines. It is important to stop the circular saw cut just before it reaches the intersecting line to avoid overcutting and weakening the stringer. The circular saw's round blade cannot make perfectly square internal corners. After all main cuts are made, use a reciprocating saw to finish the internal corner cuts precisely to the intersecting lines. This creates clean, square notches for the treads and risers.
