Importance of Measuring Accurately
Most molding miscues involve incorrect
cuts or incorrect measurements. If set up
and used correctly, Crown-Cut eliminates
incorrect cuts. It's up to you to avoid
incorrect measurements. Get help when
measuring long distances and double-check
your measurements whenever possible. As
the old woodworking adage goes: Measure
twice, cut once.
Types of Cuts
Crown-Cut is designed to make it easier to
get great results in four types of cuts with
crown or cove moldings: inside corners,
outside corners, left-over-right splice (or
scarf) joints and right-over-left splice (or
scarf) joints. The latter two cuts are used to
hide differences in moldings butted against
each other in long, straight runs.
Crown-Cut Setup
1. Place your molding (or a section of it)
upside down on the Crown-Cut.
2. From the back of the Crown-Cut,
loosen the screws holding the three
Fence Risers in Place and extend
the Fence Risers enough to support
the upper edge of the molding.
(Retract the Fence Risers when
not needed and for storage.) Fig. 1.
3. Loosen the knobs on the adjustable
Crown Stop and move it until both
flat sections on the back of the
molding are flush against the base
and fence of the Crown-Cut. Tighten
the knobs to lock in the final
position. Fig. 2.
