Cutting Crown Molding

Crown molding must becut exactly to fit properly.

There are two ways to cut crown molding: flat on table or angled to table and fence.

Your miter saw has special miter detents of 31.6° left and right and a bevel detent of 33.9° for cutting crown molding flat on the table.

These special detents angles have been designed into your compound miter saw for the standard crown molding used in the United States with the following angles:

52° between the back of the molding and the top flat surface that fits against the wall.

38° between the back of the molding and the bottom flat surface that fits against the wall.

NOTE: These detents cannot be used with 45° crown molding.

Even though these angles are standards, most rooms do not have angles of exactly 90°, there- fore, you will need to fine tune your settings using the detent override.

Cutting crown molding flat on the table can be done either as a chop cut or a slide cut depend- ing on the width of the workpiece.
