Saw Operations

Crown Molding Angled to Table and fence

The preferred method for cutting crown molding with this saw is with the molding lying flat on the table.

The advantage to cutting molding angled against fence is that no bevel setting is required. Only the miter angle is adjusted.

The maximum crown molding width that can be cut and angled to table and fence is 5-1/2".

When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is recommended to purchase and use the optional Crown Stop Set (see page 55).

follow these instructions for cutting

crown molding angled to table and fence.

1.Position the molding so the bottom (decorative part, which is installed against the wall) is against the fence.

2.For 90° corner, set the miter angle using chart below. Tighten the miter lock knob.

3.Support crown molding against the fence (see “Body and Hand Position” on page 28.)

4.Follow the procedures for chop or slide cut (see pages 34-35).

5.Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before returning head assembly to the raised position and/or removing workpiece.

NOTE: Always take a test cut using scrap to confirm correct angles.
