Note: If the cut must be made somewhere other than
1" from the end of the molding: cut off the molding at
90° approx. 1" longer than your final length then
make the miter cut as described above.
Right side
1. Position molding with bottom of the molding
against the base of the saw
2. Miter left 45°
3. Save the right side of cut
A third method of making the cut necessary is to make a
zero degree miter, 45 degree bevel cut. Your saw can cut
a bevel 7 7/8" wide.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
Your miter saw is better suited to the task of cutting
crown molding than any tool made. In order to fit
properly, crown molding must be compound mitered with
extreme accuracy.
The two flat surfaces on a given piece of crown molding
are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly
90 degrees. Most, but not all, crown molding has a top
rear angle (the section that fits flat against the ceiling) of
52 degrees and a bottom rear angle (the part that fits flat
against the wall) of 38 degrees.
Your miter saw has special pre-set miter latch points at
31.62 degrees left and right for cutting crown molding at
the proper angle. There is also a mark on the Bevel scale
at 33.85 degrees.
The chart on this page gives the proper settings for
cutting crown molding. (The numbers for the miter and
bevel settings are very precise and are not easy to
