• Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making cut. Mark cut line directly on the tape.
• Splintering typically happens due to wrong blade application and thinness of the material.
CUTTING CROWN MOULDING (Fig. 21, 22)
Your compound mitre saw is suited for the difcult task of
cutting crown moulding. To t properly, crown moulding
must be compound-mitreed with extreme accuracy. The
two surfaces on a piece of crown moulding that t at
against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when added
together, equal exactly 90°.
Most crown moulding has a top rear angle (the section that
ts at against the ceiling) of 52°and a bottom rear angle
(the section that ts at against the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut crown moulding for a 90° inside
or outside corner, lay the moulding with its broad back
surface at on the saw table. When setting the bevel and
mitre angles for compound mitres, remember the settings
are interdependent; changing one changes the other, as
well.

Always perform a dry run cut so you can determine if the operation being attempted is possible before
