Cutting Crown molding
•
Crown molding must be cut exactly to fit properly.
•
There are two ways to cut crown molding: flat on table or
angled to table and fence.
•
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:

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.
