basically you just keep it flat on the saw bed. If you do a search for crown molding there are many links to instructional videos. Many use the same technique as you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Hodges" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 12:38 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] miter saw stops
Lenny, When I cut crown molding, I turn it upside down and lay it against the fence on an angle so it would look like it would if it were on the ceiling, only upside down. Then I cut it on a 45 degree angle. How do you lay the crown molding against the fence when you are using the 31.6 degree?

I don't remember the degree of the molding I think around 38º. To produce it you need a compound cut of 31.6º for the miter and 33.9º for the bevel. I would have to recheck that number to make sure. The best way for the inside corner cut is to cope it. I have read about the 31.6/33.9 also for some picture frames. Always wanted to try that just have always procrastinated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Hodges" <tom.bethhodges@ <mailto:tom.bethhodges%40gmail.com> gmail.com> To: <blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 10:33 AM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] miter saw stops Does anyone know what the 31.6 degree stop is for? If I have a 90 degree angle in the corner, I use a 45 degree cut.

It is a 10" sliding compound miter saw. The cool thing about it is the cast degree scale. And, yes, you can easily set up the saw by feel. Both the miter and bevel scales are raised. Stops are at 0, 15, 22.5 31.6 45 and 60. One of my woodworker buddies happened to run across this saw and thought I'd be able to feel the scales. Needless to say, He got several beers on my tab for that. The saw is made out of aluminum. I would rather have cast iron; but, I have to admit the aluminum has held up perfectly through many projects. It cuts as well as the day I baught it. Looks like this saw is still available. I've had mine for about 10 years or so. Here's the low-down: Features: Powerful 13.0 Amp motor, 2.8 max. tool HP Crown miter detents - 31.6° miter and 33.9° bevel detents for quick, accurate crown cuts Large 25" aluminum base with 3" extension for 28" total length - Provides extra support Tall 3-1/2" Fence - For easy bevel set-ups and increased crown molding cutting capacities Dual rail design - For superior accuracy Exclusive wedge-and-slot miter detent system - Consistent and precise miter angles Miter detent override - For easy setting of any setting for any neighboring angle Electric brake - For quick and repetitive cuts. Stops blade in seconds Cast and machined scales - Visible for the life of the saw Double insulated, UL listed, complies to OSHA Includes: 60 Tooth Carbide Tip Blade Workpiece Clamp Blade and Stop Wrench Fence and Base Wrench Directional Dust Chute Dust Bag B-3915 I hope this is helpful to the list.
