Crown Molding Angled to Table and
Fence
The preferred method for cutting crown molding
with this saw is with the molding lying flat on the
table. The advantage to cutting molding angled
a
gainst 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 3-1/2" at a 38
spring angle.
When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is
recommended to purchase and use the optional
Crown Stop Set.
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, figure 46.
2. For 90° corner, set the miter angle using chart
below. Tighten the miter lock knob.
3. Support crown molding against the fence (see
“Body and Hand Position” on page 27.)
Be aware of the path of the
saw blade. Make a dry run
with the saw Off by conducting a simulated
cutting cycle, and observe the projected path of
the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6) inches
away from the projected path of the saw blade.
4. Follow the procedures for chop or slide cut (see
page 33).
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.

CROWN MOLDING CUTS
(When Workpiece Angled Against Fence)
Assumptions: Molding is milled consistently.
C
orner is 90°.
For other corner angles, divide actual
measurement by 2.
