CUTTING CROWN MOULDING (FIG. KK, LL)

Crown moulding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces on the crown moulding must fit the wall or ceiling, and each other.

moulding must add to a 90° angle. Most crown moulding has a top angle of 52° that fits flat on the ceiling, and a bottom rear angle of 38° that fits flat against the wall.

1.If the crown moulding is thin and cannot stand vertically on edge, lay the moulding flat with its widest back surface flat on the saw table.

(Fig. KK)

2.To avoid splintering and marking, tape the cutting line and any surface that is being clamped.

3.The angle settings for the two pieces of moulding that will be adjoining in any one corner, will be interdependent with each other. Any change in the setting for one side must be equally compensated for on the other side.

4.All settings should be tested on scrap material before cutting the actual moulding.
