Step 4 · Cut the First Stringer
Once the layout is complete on the first stringer board, it's time to make the cuts. Use a circular saw to cut along the marked lines. For the notches (the rise and run), you'll typically make two cuts to remove the waste material. Ensure the cuts are straight and square. The bottom-most cut for the first step (the riser cut) and the cut for the last step (the tread cut) need to be precise. After cutting, you should have a series of notches that will support the treads.
