Is there an easy way to understand how to cut crown molding? |
I thought I remembered but forgot! I only have 90 corners and on a horizontal plane, but I can't get it right. Can anyone help? There really is no easy way. Too many selections and angles to chose from. I hate to tell you,,,but there rarely is a 90 degree angle in a house. If you can afford it buy about a total of 6 feet (2 pieces 3' long) try cutting it @ a 33 degree angle on the miter tilt (when you tilt the blade on the saw) and a 32.5 degree on the miter cut (the angle you cut moving the table angle) This is only if you are using a Compound miter saw. You will have to adjust the blade from there weather to much of an angle or to little. If you are not using on or can not get a hold of one you will be better off using decorative inside and outside corners so you do not have to cut angles at all. Here's a good video on that "Measure twice, cut once." First rule of a tradesman. <};-}) I just received a note from Steve in NC,,,one of OUR PEERS. The notion is multiple angles and Flipping; but he offered a "TOOL" I intend to try. I don't have the Q at hand but look him up, he is also a GC. 20 years. I suggest you check him out as well. I have installed a lot of crown over the years. The thing to do is pretend the base of your miter saw is the ceiling, and the fence is the wall. place the crown in your saw, just like you would on your wall. I found this place helpful: http://www.altereagle.com/How_to_install... When you trim a door with casing the 45 angle has the long cut of the angle is on the top.The short is on the bottom.Crown is the opposite.The long part of the 45 goes on the bottom.The short part of the angle goes on top. It's tuff to startoff. Here is another one. A good miter saw will have the angles marked. You don't use 45 degrees. You lay stock flat and use indicated marks on the saw. Keep scrap piece of each angle in your pouch for easy reference. |
