From How to Install Treads on Stairs with a Mid-Stair Landing, Step 2: Measure and Template Treads
Once a step's dimensions are captured by the templating tool, carefully place the adjusted tool onto the new stair tread material (e.g., solid wood tread). Use a pencil or scribe to trace the exact outline of the template onto the new tread, ensuring all angles and lengths are precisely marked. Then, using a table saw for straight cuts and a miter saw for angled cuts, carefully cut along the traced lines. This method ensures that each new stair tread will have a custom, tight fit against the walls and risers of the staircase.
