14. Cutting crown moulding
(Fig. 34,
35)
Your compound mitre saw is suited for the
difficult task of cutting crown moulding. To fit
properly, crown moulding must be compound-
mitre ed with extreme accuracy. The two
surfaces on a piece of crown moulding that fit
flat against the ceiling and wall are at angles
that,
when added together equal exactly 90°.
Most crown moulding has a top rear angle (the
section that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52°
and a bottom rear angle (the section that fits
flat against the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut crown moulding
for a 90° inside or outside corner
, lay the
moulding with its broad back surface flat on
the saw table.
When setting the bevel and mitre angles for
compound mitres, remember that the settings
are interdependent; changing one changes the
other, as well.
