CUTTING CROWN MOULDING

One of the many features of a compound miter saw is the ease of cutting crown molding.

NOTE: The following procedure for inside or outside crown molding corners is the same with the exception that the bevel position will always be at 30° and the miter position will be 35-1/4° to the right or left.

1.Move the table to the 31.62° right miter position and lock the table in position.

NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly.

2.Tilt the saw blade to the 33.85° left bevel position and tighten bevel lock handle.

NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale to find this angle quickly.

3.Place the crown molding on the table with the CEILING EDGE of the molding against the fence, and make the cut (Fig. 43).

NOTE: The piece of crown molding used for the outside corner will always be on the right hand side of the blade (A) Fig. 43. The piece of crown molding used for the inside corner will always be on the left hand side of the blade, (B) Fig. 43.

4.To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners, rotate the table to the 31.62° left miter position and tighten table lock handle.

NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly.

5.Place the crown molding on the table with the WALL EDGE of the crown molding against the fence and make the cut. Again, the piece of crown molding used for the outside corner will always be on the right side of the blade, (C) Fig. 44. The piece of crown molding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade (D) Fig. 44
