Cutting Crown Molding
• Crown molding must be cut exactly to fit properly.
• Your miter saw has special miter detents of 31.6° left and
right and a bevel indicator at 33.9° for cutting crown
molding flat on the table.
• These special detents angles have been designed into
your compound miter saw for the standard crown molding
used in the United States with the following angles:
52° between the back of the molding and the top flat
surface that fits against the wall.
38° between the back of the molding and the bottom
flat surface that fits against the wall.
NOTE: These detents cannot be used with 45° crown
molding.
• Even though these angles are standards, most rooms do
not have angles of exactly 90°, therefore, you will need to
fine tune your settings using the detent override and the
vernier scale.
