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 3-1/2" at a 38 spring angle.

When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is recommended to purchase and use the optional Crown Stop Set (see page 44).

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, figure 46.

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 24.)
