- How to find Compound
Miter Angles for Crown Molding:
First determine which
type of crown molding you're working with, 52/38°
(on 52/38°
molding the ceiling contact surface is 38°
and the wall side is 52°)
or 45°
(on 45°
molding the contact surfaces are both 45°)
|
|
|
- There are two different charts on this tool, one for
each type of crown molding. The chart on the Miter
Angle side reads for 45° crown molding and
the chart on the Whole Angle
side reads for 52/38°.
|
- Open the tool and fit into, or around the outside of the
surfaces being checked.
|
- Read the dial on the Miter Angel side of the tool, using
the correct chart for your material, scroll down the
left column to find the wall
miter angle that you found on the dial, now
read across to the right. The center column reads saw
bevel (blade/tilt) and the right column reads saw miter.
|
- When measuring and marking the crown molding for length,
mark the bottom edge that will set against the wall, lay
the crown molding flat on the saw. Set your saw to these
settings for perfect compound miter cuts.

Example on the 45-degree side of the tool, a
90-degree corner will show 45-degree wall angle in the left
column, center column saw bevel is 30 degrees, and saw miter is
35.3 degrees. These angles are the same for an inside or an
outside corner; the only difference is the direction of the cut,
long point for inside cuts, or short point for outside corners. |
