CUTTING CROWN MOULDING

One of the many features of the saw is the ease of

cutting crown moulding. The following is an example of

cutting both inside and outside corners on

52°/38° wall

angle crown moulding.
1. Move the table to the 31.62° right miter position and

lock the table in position.

NOTE: A positive stop is

provided to find this angle quickly.

2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33.86° left bevel position

and tighten bevel lock handle.

NOTE: A triangle

indicator is provided on the bevel scale to find this

angle quickly.

3. Place the crown moulding on the table with the

CEILING EDGE of the moulding against the fence,

and make the cut, as shown in Fig. 35.

NOTE: The piece of crown moulding used for the

outside corner will always be on the right hand side

of the blade, as shown at (A) Fig. 35. The piece of

crown moulding used for the inside corner will

always be on the left hand side of the blade, as

shown at (B) Fig. 35.

4. To make the matching halves of the inside and

outside corners, rotate the table to the 31.62° left

miter position.

NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle

quickly. The saw blade is already tilted to the 33.86°

bevel position from the previous cut.

5. Place the crown moulding on the table with the

WALL EDGE of the crown moulding against the

fence and make the cut. Again, the piece of crown

moulding used for the outside corner will always be

on the right side of the blade, as shown at (C) Fig.

36. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside

corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as

shown at (D) Fig. 36.

6. Fig. 36A illustrates the two outside corner pieces; (1)

being the piece cut at (A) Fig. 35 and (2) being the

piece cut at (C) Fig. 36.

7. Fig. 36B illustrates the two inside corner pieces; (1)

being the piece cut at (B) Fig. 35, and (2) being the

piece cut at (D) Fig. 36.

45-45 CROWN MOULDING

NOTE: If you are cutting crown moulding that is

45°-45°, follow the same procedure above, with the

exception that the bevel position will always be at 30°

and the miter position will be 35-1/4° to the right or left.
