l Base molding can be cut vertical against fence or
flat on the table. The maximum size that can be
vertical on the fence is 6-1/2", flat on table is
13-1/2".
l Follow the table for helpful hints on cutting base
molding for corners that have 90° angles.
l Cutting base molding can be done either as a chop
cut or a slide cut depending on the size of the
workpiece.
Crown molding cuts must be positioned
properly to fit exactly.
There are two ways to cut crown molding: flat on
table or angled to table and fence.
Crown molding’s “spring angle” is the angle between
the back of the molding and the bottom flat surface
that fits against the wall.
This miter saw has special miter detents at
31.6° and bevel detents at 33.9°. These
detents allow you to easily position most crown
molding flat on the table and make precise cuts
for 90° corners. NOTE: These detents cannot be
used with 45° crown molding. These detents are only
for use with crown molding that has a 38° “spring
angle.”
See also pages 46 & 47 for miter and bevel angle
charts for cutting crown molding that has
38° and 45° spring angles. Each chart lists the exact
miter and bevel settings required for a wide range of
corner angles.
Even though these angles are standards, most
rooms do not have angles of exactly 90°; therefore,
you will need to fine-tune your settings.
The optional Bosch DAF220K MiterFinder
Digital Anglefinder/Protractor measures spring
angles and corner angles, then automatically
determines the exact miter and bevel settings
necessary to make each crown molding cut fit
perfectly.
