CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
Your Craftsman Compound Miter Saw is
suited for the difficult task of cutting Crown
Molding. To fit properly, Crown Molding
must be compound mitered with extreme
accuracy. The two surfaces on a piece of
Crown Molding that fit flat against the ceiling
and wall are at angles that, when added
together,
equal exactly 90 °.

(the section that fits flat against the ceiling)
of 52 ° and a bottom rear angle (the section
that fits flat against the wall) of 38 °. In order to
