CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

(FIG. MM, NN)

Your compound miter saw is suited

for the difcult task of cutting crown

molding. To t properly, crown molding

must be compound-mitered with

extreme accuracy. The two surfaces

on a piece of crown molding that t

at against the ceiling and wall are at

angles that, when added together,

equal exactly 90°.

Most crown molding has a top rear

angle (the section that ts at against

the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear

angle (the section that ts at against

the wall) of 38°.

In order to accurately cut crown

molding for a 90° inside or outside

corner, lay the molding with its broad

back surface at on the saw table.

When setting the bevel and miter

angles for compound miters, remember

that the settings are interdependent –

changing one changes the other, as

well.
