OPERATION
CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. 24)
Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a
compound miter saw. The setup of the saw depends on
molding characteristics and applications, as shown. Perform
practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best results:
1. Always make sure moldings rest firmly against fence and
table. Use hold-down or C-clamps, whenever possible,
and place tape on the area being clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making
cut. Mark cut line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to wrong blade
application and thinness of the material.

NOTE: Always perform a dry run cut so you can determine
if the operation being attempted is possible before power is
applied to the saw.
CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (FIG. 25, 26)
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. Also keep in mind
that the angles from crown molding are very easy for these
angles to shift slightly; all settings should be tested on scrap
molding.
