206. Cutting crown and cove moldingsCrown and cove moldings can be cut on a compoundmiter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.There are two common types of crown moldings and onetype of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding,45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle covemolding. See illustrations.There are crown and cove molding joints which aremade to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. A) and“Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).MeasuringMeasure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table tocut wall contact edge to desired length. Always makesure that cut workpiece length at the back of the work-piece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut length forangle of cut. Always use several pieces for test cuts tocheck the saw angles.When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevelangle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) andposition the moldings on the top surface of the saw baseas indicated in the table (B).In the case of left bevel cut1. 52/38° type crown molding2. 45° type crown molding3. 45° type cove molding52∞38∞45∞45∞45∞45∞1 2 30015551.
