CUTTING
CROWN MOULDING
One of the unique features of your saw is the ease of cutting crown moulding. The following is an example of cutting both inside and outside corners on 52/38 degree wall angle crown moulding. NOTE: When cutting 45 degree wall angle crown moulding the following procedure for inside and outside corners is the same with the exception that the bevel position will always be at 30 degrees and the miter position will be
1.Set the rotating table to the 31.62 degree right miter position, as shown in Fig. 83. A positive stop is provided to set the rotating table at this angle quickly. Tilt the saw blade to the 33.9 degree bevel position. An indicator is provided on the bevel scale to find this angle quickly.
2.Place the crown moulding on the saw table with the CEILING EDGE of the moulding against the fence, as shown in Fig. 83, and make the cut. Note that we are using the work clamp (A) Fig. 83, to hold the workpiece firmly against the table. The piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right hand side of the blade, as shown at (B) Fig. 83. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at (C) Fig. 83.
3.To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners, set the rotating table to the 31.62 degree left miter position, as shown in Fig. 84. A positive stop is provided to set the rotating table at this angle quickly. The saw blade is already tilted to the 33.9 degree bevel angle from the previous cut.
4.Place the crown moulding on the saw table with the WALL EDGE of the crown moulding against the fence, as shown in Fig. 84, and make the cut. Again, note that we are using the work clamp (A) Fig. 84, to hold the workpiece firmly against the table. The piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right side of the blade, as shown at (D) Fig. 84. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at (E) Fig. 84.

(B) being the piece cut at (B) Fig. 83; and (D) being the piece cut at (D) Fig. 84.
6.Fig. 86, illustrates the two inside corner pieces,
(C) being the piece cut at (C) Fig. 83; and (E) being the piece cut at (E) Fig. 84.
