cu'rI'ING CROWN MOLDING

Your compound miter sew does an excellentjob of cuttingcrown molding.In general, compound miter

sews do a betterjob of cutting crown moldingthan any other tool made.

In order to fit properly,crown molding must be com- pound mitered with extreme accuracy.

The two contact surfaceson a piece of crown molding that fit fiat against the ceilingand the wall of a room are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90°. Most crown moldinghas a top rear angle (the sectionthat fits flat against the ceiling)of 52 ° and

abottomrear angle (the sectionthat fits fiat against the wall) of 38 °.

LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE

MITER TABLE

See Figure32.

To use this methodfor accurately cutting crown

moldingfor a 90 ° inside or outside corner, laythe molding with its broad back surface fiat on the miter

table and againstthe fence.

When settingthe bevel and miter angles for Com- poundmiters, remember that the seffings are interde-

pendent;changing one angle Changesthe other angle as well.

Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very precisea_nddifficultto set. Since it is very easy for these angles to shift, all settingsshould firstbe tested on scrap molding.Also most walls do not have angles of exactly 90 °, therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings.
