CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
(FIG. MM, NN)
Your compound miter saw is suited
for the difficult task of cutting crown
molding. To fit properly, crown molding
must be compound-mitered with
extreme accuracy. The two surfaces
on a piece of crown molding that fit
flat against the ceiling and wall are at
angles that,
when added together,
equal exactly 90°.
Most crown molding 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
molding for a 90° inside or outside
corner, lay the molding with its broad
back surface flat on the saw table.
When setting the bevel and miter
angles for compound miters, remember
that the settings are interdependent
–
changing one changes the other, as
well.
