LIMNMEDIA - Cut and Fit

At this stage, the focus is on getting each piece to fit cleanly within the track assembly. Rather than cutting directly to final dimension, the approach here is to:

• Measure and mark the target length

• Leave room for the saw blade (kerf)

• Intentionally leave a small amount of extra material

• Bring the final dimension in with a file

The last step is important. Cutting gets the piece close, but filing allows for a more controlled, precise fit.

One of the images shows the end of a brace being finished by hand—removing that last bit of material to land exactly on the mark.

This is slower than cutting to size in one pass, but it avoids undershooting the dimension and gives better control over the final fit.

At this point, the track is still coming together piece by piece, but the tolerances are starting to matter more. Each brace contributes to overall alignment, so small adjustments at this stage carry forward into the full assembly.
