CUTTING CROWN MOULDING
One of the many features of a compound miter saw is
the ease of cutting crown molding.
NOTE: The following procedure for inside or outside
crown molding corners is the same with the
exception that the bevel position will always be at
30° and the miter position will be 35-1/4° to the right
or left.
1. Move the table to the 31.62° right miter position and
lock the table in position.
NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle
quickly.
2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33.85° left bevel position
and tighten bevel lock handle.
NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the bevel
scale to find this angle quickly.
3. Place the crown molding on the table with the
CEILING EDGE of the molding against the fence,
and make the cut (Fig. 43).
NOTE: The piece of crown molding used for the
outside corner will always be on the right hand side
of the blade (A) Fig. 43. The piece of crown molding
used for the inside corner will always be on the left
hand side of the blade, (B) Fig. 43.
4. To make the matching halves of the inside and
outside corners, rotate the table to the 31.62° left
miter position and tighten table lock handle.
NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle
quickly.
5. Place the crown molding on the table with the WALL
EDGE of the crown molding against the fence and
make the cut. Again, the piece of crown molding
used for the outside corner will always be on the
right side of the blade, (C) Fig. 44. The piece of
crown molding used for the inside corner will always
be on the left side of the blade (D) Fig. 44
