Cutting Crown Molding
WARNING
Crown molding must be cut exactly to fit properly.
•
Your miter saw has special miter detents of 31.6° left and right and a bevel indicator at 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 ceiling.
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°,
•
therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings using the miter and bevel scale.
