| Routering out a hole in the stair stringer
for the tread to insert into is a great way to build this type of stairs
for the interior or exterior. The other way to build a set of stairs
like this is to use brackets under the stair treads that attach to the
stringer with lag bolts. The only problem with this is that the lag
bolts over time could loosen up creating a stair tread that moves. This
will become a safety hazard later. With routering out the stringers
you eliminate this problem. The routered out portion of the stringer
will create a nice tight pocket for the tread to insert into. This will
keep the stair tread from loosening up and wiggling as you walk up and
down the stairway.
