CUTTING CROWN MOULDING (Fig.28, 29)
Your compound mitre saw is suited for the difficult task of
cutting crown moulding. To fit properly, crown moulding
must be compound-mitred with extreme accuracy. The
two surfaces on a piece of crown moulding that fit flat
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 fits flat against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear
angle (the section that fits flat 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 flat 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.
