CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
One of the many features of the saw is the ease of cutting crown molding. The following is an example of cutting both inside and outside corners on 52°/38° wall angle crown molding.
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 33.86° 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, as shown in Fig. 35.
NOTE: The piece of crown molding used for the outside corner will always be on the right hand side of the blade, as shown at (A) Fig. 35. The piece of crown molding used for the inside corner will always be on the left hand side of the blade, as shown at
(B) Fig. 35.
4.To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners, rotate the table to the 31.62° left miter position.
NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly. The saw blade is already tilted to the 33.86° bevel position from the previous cut.
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, as shown at (C) Fig. 36. The piece of crown molding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at (D) Fig. 36.
6.Fig. 36A illustrates the two outside corner pieces; (1) being the piece cut at (A) Fig. 35 and (2) being the piece cut at (C) Fig. 36.
7.Fig. 36B illustrates the two inside corner pieces; (1) being the piece cut at (B) Fig. 35, and (2) being the piece cut at (D) Fig. 36.
