1. eo 23 OPERATION CUTTING CROWN MOLDING Your compound miter saw does an excellent job of cutting crown molding In general compound miter saws do a better job of cutting crown molding than any other tool made In order to fit properly crown molding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit flat against the ceiling and the wall of aroom are at angles that when added together equal exactly 90 Most crown molding has a top rear angle the section that fits flat against the ceiling of 52 and a bottom rear angle the section that fits flat against the wall of 38 LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE MITER TABLE See Figure 29 To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding for 90 inside or outside corner lay the molding with its broad back surface flat on the miter table and against the fence 52 38 CEILING gt FENCE TOP EDGE AGAINST FENCE e LEFT SIDE INSIDE CORNER RIGHT SIDE OUTSIDE CORNER MITER TABLE When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound miters remember that the settings are interdependent changing one angle changes the other angle as well Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very precise and difficult to set Since it is very easy for these angles to shift all settings should first be tested on scrap molding Also most walls do not have angles of exactly 902.
