- 0:55–1:13 Measure and Mark Tread and Nosing
From How to Install Treads on Stairs with a Mid-Stair Landing, Step 2: Measure and Template Treads
With the riser confirmed, proceed to measure the stair tread. Use the stair tread templating tool to get precise measurements. When marking the flooring, remember that the stair nosing will line up with the front edge of the tread. Position the nosing and the flooring piece together as they will be installed and trace the template onto both simultaneously. This ensures the angles and length match perfectly across both components. Remember that each side of the stair tread may have a different angle.

From How to Install Treads on Stairs with a Mid-Stair Landing, Step 5: Test Fit New Treads
Once the stair tread and nosing pieces are cut, bring them back to the stairs for a dry fit. Place them into their final positions without adhesive to ensure all cuts are perfect and the pieces fit snugly against the riser and along the stair's edges. Make any necessary micro-adjustments at this stage.
