Note: If the cut must be made somewhere other than

1" from the end of the molding: cut off the molding at 90° approx. 1" longer than your final length then make the miter cut as described above.

1.Position molding with bottom of the molding against the base of the saw

2.Miter left 45°

3.Save the right side of cut

A third method of making the cut necessary is to make a zero degree miter, 45 degree bevel cut. Your saw can cut a bevel 7 7/8" wide.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

Your miter saw is better suited to the task of cutting crown molding than any tool made. In order to fit properly, crown molding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy.

The two flat surfaces on a given piece of crown molding are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90 degrees. Most, but not all, crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52 degrees and a bottom rear angle (the part that fits flat against the wall) of 38 degrees.

Your miter saw has special pre-set miter latch points at

31.62degrees left and right for cutting crown molding at the proper angle. There is also a mark on the Bevel scale at 33.85 degrees.

The chart on this page gives the proper settings for cutting crown molding. (The numbers for the miter and bevel settings are very precise and are not easy to
