Assumptions:
Molding is milled consistently.
—
Corner is 90 degrees.
—
For other corner angles, divide actual measure-
ment by 2.
The preferred method for cutting crown molding with
this saw is with the molding laying flat on the table.
—
The advantage to cutting moldings 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 6".
—
When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is
recommended to purchase and use the optional
MS 1221 Horizontal Clamp and Crown Molding
Stop Accessory.
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 90º corner, set the miter angle using Chart
below. Tighten the miter lock knob (Figure 36).
3. Support crown molding against the fence (see
“Body and Hand Position” on page 19.)
4. Follow the procedures for chop or slide cut (see
page 23).
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.
