INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING LAYING FLAT | PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY |
AND USING THE COMPOUND FEATURES | IMPORTANT! |

When setting bevel and miter angles for all compound miters, remember that:
The angles presented for crown moldings are very precise and difficult to set exactly. Since they can easily shift slightly and very few rooms have exactly square corners, all settings should be tested on scrap molding.
Special Cuts
NEVER MAKE ANY CUTS UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS SECURED ON THE TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
ALUMINUM CUTTING (CARBIDE TIPPED BLADE ONLY)
Aluminum extrusions such as those used when making aluminum screens and storm windows can easily be cut with your saw using the proper blade designed for
The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.
Be sure to properly secure work. Certain workpieces, due to their size, shape or surface finish, may require the use of a clamp, jig or fixture to prevent movement during the cut.
BOWED MATERIAL
