How much should the bullnose of my treads stick out for the cap-a-tread to fit right? I only have about 3/8ths protruding past my riser.
Tex8814,
Recommend that the nose of your treads fill as much of the Cap-A-Tread as possible. It would not be a good thing if you put a huge amount of work into installing your CAT's and have them break off over the years. Recommend that you email me a couple of pictures at abacon73@aol.com. It would be good if we could exchange phone numbers and discuss this.
Otherwise, I appreciate your interest in my channel. I retired recently and have plans for another 200 to 300 great videos.

Do you belive there is any difference between the 60 and 40 tooth blades for the Cap A Treads?
Linkkk68,
I used a 40 tooth blade, which worked well. But, a 60 will give you an even better cut.

@@LetsFixItRight I ended up using a 60 as well. Worked out great!! I used a Metabo as well for some finishing touches on the edges cause i suck with a table saw! Thanks for the great video!
Joe,
Glad to hear my video was useful and your project worked out great.

Question for you. What color/style did you use? It looks like the one I need but don't know what it's called. Any help would be appreciated thank you!!
Kasey,
As I mentioned in the video, I bought my Cap-A-Tread covers and risers at Floor and Décor 2 years ago. However, after looking at their current Web Page, this was the closest that I could find:
www.flooranddecor.com/stair-parts/5140-cap-renewal-retread---47in.-100999697.html
Home Depot and Lowe's also have some that look fairly close at these links:

After looking at these, the Lowe’s looks closest to mine. However, if you get an opportunity, I recommend that you shop in one of these 3 stores to see exactly what you are buying.

@@LetsFixItRight absolutely! Thank you for the response and the links. I am a visual person so your videos and the first person perspective have been such a lifesaver. Definitely a subscriber and have recommended my friends do the same. Thank you for all your hard work!!!
👍
Bill and Cindy,
Many many thanks for your thumbs up. Altogether, I plan to produce 15 to 20 videos on the stairwell.

How did you do the landing? That's been the hardest part to get right
Donna,
Please note that I cover this in detail in my Episode 59, Finish Stairwell Landing, Video.

Can I use a jig saw? It’s all I’ve got besides hand saws. 🪚
Stephanie,
I recommend against using a jig saw. It will be difficult to cut a straight line and you will not be able to cut the circular front edge of a Cap-A-Tread plank with a jig saw.
Recommend that you purchase a 10-inch saber saw similar to this saw featured on Amazon:
amzn.to/3VqI6Xa
In addition, I would use one of these Diablo Saw Blades for fine and accurate cuts:
10 in. x 60-Tooth Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade: amzn.to/3SCUC4L
10 in. x 40-Tooth General Purpose Circular Saw Blade: amzn.to/3BMnsc2
I also recommend that you practice with the saw on scrap wood prior to cutting your expensive Cap-A-Tread planks.

@@LetsFixItRight thanks for taking time to respond. As a single mom I can’t afford a table saw & wouldn’t know how to use one anyway. I’ll have to figure something else out for the cat damaged carpeted stairs.
@@Ms.Stephanie.C Appreciate your questions and comments.
I’ve seen many videos online of people starting with the riser before the tread. Why did you start with the tread? Is there any benefit I am going to install and not sure which one to start off with?
