Cutting Crown Molding
•
Crown molding must be cut exactly to fit
properly.
•
Your miter saw has special miter detents at
31.6° left and right and a bevel indicator at
33.9° for cutting crown molding
fl
at on the
table.
•
These special detent angles have been
designed into your compound miter saw
for the standard crown molding used in the
United States with the following angles:
•
52° between the back of the molding and
SAW OPERATIONS
the top flat surface that fits against the
ceiling.
•
38° between the back of the molding and
the bottom
fl
at surface that fits against the
wall.
NOTICE: These detents cannot be used with
45° crown molding.
•
Even though these angles are standards,
most rooms do not have angles of exactly
90°, therefore, you will need to fine-tune
your settings with the miter and bevel
scales.
Follow these instructions for cutting
crown molding laying
fl
at on the table:
1. Move the sliding fence to proper position
(see ADJUSTMENT, Sliding Fence).
2. Set the bevel and miter angles using Chart
in this section. Tighten the miter-lock knob
and the bevel-lock handle (Fig. 27).
3. Position the molding on the saw table. Use
the chart to determine the correct position.
Clamp the workpiece in place with the
vertical clamp.
WARNING
Use a clamping position
that does not interfere
with operation. Before switching on the saw,
lower the head assembly to make sure that
the clamp clears the guard and the head
assembly.
4. Activate the switch. Lower the head
assembly and make your cut.
5. Wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop before returning the head assembly
to the raised position and/or removing the
workpiece.
NOTICE: Always make a test cut using scrap
to confirm that the angles are correct.
