NOTE: When cutting and installing crown molding keep in mind the bevel and miter angles involved are
extremely accurate while the corners you’ll be working on will rarely measure exactly 90°. Therefore, be prepared
to make numerous practice cuts with scrap molding to help fine tune your saw settings.
For cutting crown molding flat for corners other than 90°, please refer to Crown Molding Miter Angles chart.
Cutting Crown Molding Vertically Nested Against Miter Fence
Always use a crown molding fence when cutting crown molding angled against the fence. Cutting crown molding
angled against the fence does not require any special bevel settings. Small changes in the miter angle can be
made without affecting the bevel angle. When using this method the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for
corners that are not 90° (square).
When cutting crown molding in this method, the bottom of the molding goes against the fence. Think of the table
of the saw being the ceiling, and the fence as being the wall. Angled “flats” on back of molding must rest squarely
on the fence and base of the saw.
The following instructions are for cutting crown molding for a 90° corner.

CUTTING WARPED WORKPIECES
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not cut warped material.
Sometimes you have no choice but to use a piece of warped material. To cut warped workpieces, make sure it is
positioned on the miter saw table with the convex side against the fence. DO NOT place the concave side of the
workpiece against the miter saw fence; when it is cut it will collapse near the completion of the cut, pinching the
blade.
WARNING: To avoid possible serious personal injury and possible kickback,
never place the concave portion of bowed or warped material against the fence.
