I just used your method and sawzhall, but I did use a circular saw first. It may be an extra step, but easier since it cuts smoother (use a new carbide 24T blade). You cut most of the tread after measuring the depth and amount to riser (1-1/2″ usually). Then use sawzall to finish each ends by cutting in and towards ends. Using the sawzall to cut ALL the bullnose would be too tiring due to vibrations and effort. At lease circular caw cuts easier and smooth like butter-saving your arm!

I have the same problem as insidethe222. I believe his treads are installed from the rear and are inserted into the stringers and not flush against them. Mine treads are at least 1″ into the stringers and has a small gap probably caused by the treads shrinking over a period of time (30 years). I am going to try to fill with wood filler, then sand, then paint. If anyone has a better idea I would like to hear it. BTW great tutorial.
