Cutting crown molding
(Fig. NN, OO):
Your compound miter saw is suited
for the difficult task of cutting crown
molding. To fit properly, crown molding
must be cut 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°.
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.
