ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
Place the molding on the table at an angle between the fence and the saw table, as shown in Figure 26A. Use of the crown molding fence accessory (DW7054) is highly recommended because of its degree of accuracy and convenience. The crown molding fence accessory is available at extra cost from your local dealer.
The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel cut is required. Minute changes in the miter angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle.
