Cutting crown
molding miters on a compound miter saw The back edge of crown molding has a built-in bevel at the top and the bottom. These bevels (or “flats”) allow the molding to sit at an angle against the ceiling and the wall when the molding is installed. To cut the molding, place it on your miter saw with its face toward you. Rest the top bevel (on the back side) flat against the vertical “fence” of your miter saw....and the bottom bevel flat against the horizontal “table” of your miter saw. After you place it in position, rock it back-and-forth until you feel it resting solidly on these flats before you make your cuts. Hold your molding firmly in position against the flats and make your cut. By resting these bevels (or “flats”) solidly against the back-up fence and table surface during the cuts, you'll be sawing your molding at the same angle as when it's resting as intended against the ceiling and wall. There's no need to put the molding upside-down on the saw. |
