Cutting Crown Molding
Crown molding must becut exactly to fit properly.
There
are two ways
to cut crown
molding:
flat on table or angled to table and fence.
Your miter saw has special miter detents
of
31.6 ° left and right and a bevel detent of 33.9 °
for cutting crown molding flat on the table.
These
special
detents
angles
have
been
designed into your compound
miter saw for the
standard
crown
molding
used in the United
States with the following angles:
52 ° between the back of the molding and the
top flat surface that fits against the wall.
38 ° between the back of the molding and the
bottom flat surface that fits against the wall.
NOTE: These detents cannot be used with 45 ° crown
molding.
Even though these angles are standards,
most
rooms do not have angles of exactly 90 °, there-
fore, you will need to fine tune your settings
using the detent override.
Cutting crown molding flat on the table can be
done either as a chop cut or a slide cut depend-
ing on the width of the workpiece.
