Two Methods for Cutting Crown Molding
The angles created on a piece of crown
molding that fi ts fl at against the ceiling and
wall will, when added together, equal 90°
(A + B = 90°).The most common crown
molding angles are :
52
°
/38
°
: A 52° angle against the ceiling (A)
and a 38° angle against the wall (B). The
miter saw has special miter settings at 31.6°
left and right and a bevel setting at 33.9° to
use when cutting 52°/ 38° crown molding fl at
on the miter saw table. These settings are
identifi ed with a diamond mark.
45
°
/45
°
: A 45° angle against the ceiling (A)
and a 45° angle against the wall (B). The
miter saw has special miter settings at 35.3°
left and right and a bevel setting at 30° to use
when cutting 45°/ 45° crown fl at on the miter
saw table. These settings are identifi ed with
a black circle.
NOTE: Even though all of these angles are
standard, rooms are very rarely constructed
so the corners are exactly 90°. You will need
to “fi ne tune” these settings and make neces-
sary adjustments to the cutting angles.

Cutting Crown Molding Flat on the Miter
Saw Table
The advantage of cutting crown molding fl at
on the table is that it is easier to secure the
molding at the correct cutting position. Also
larger pieces of crown molding may be cut
laying fl at on the miter saw table.
1. Set the bevel and miter angles using
the Crown Molding Miter Angles chart.
Tighten the miter lock knob and the
bevel lock knob.
2. Using the Positioning section below,
correctly positions the molding.
NOTE: Always make a test cut on scrap
material to confi rm all angles are correct.
3. Make the cut according to "Making a
Chop Cut".
Cutting Crown Molding Angled Against
the Fence (Nested – in position)
Always use a crown molding fence when
cutting crown molding angled against the
fence. When cutting crown molding angled
against the fence does not require bevel set-
tings. Small changes in the miter angle can
be made without affecting the bevel angle.
When using this method the saw can be
quickly and easily adjusted for corners that
are not 90° (square).
