English on your saw.) Since most rooms do not have angles of precisely 90 degrees, you will have to fine tune your settings anyway. PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

Save right end of cut When setting bevel and miter angles for all compound miters, remember that: The angles presented for crown moldings are very precise and difficult to set exactly. Since they can easily shift slightly and very few rooms have exactly square corners, all settings should be tested on scrap molding. PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING Place the molding on the table at an angle between the fence and the saw table, as shown in Figure 18A. Use of the crown molding fence accessory (DW7084) is highly recommended because of its degree of accuracy and convenience. The crown molding fence accessory is available for purchase from your local dealer. The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel cut is required. Minute changes in the miter angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. This way, when corners other than 90 degrees are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for them. Use the crown molding fence accessory to maintain the angle at which the molding will be on the wall.

The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest squarely on the fence and base of the saw. INSIDE CORNER: Left side 1. Miter right at 45° 2. Save the right side of cut Right side 1.
