Remember people, to get a blade with a 60+ tooth count, as it will make the cut smoother. The quality of your chop saw will also be evident very quickly when those angles start adding to 180 degrees. It might be beneficial to build an additional mitre precision fence, by placing a thin board down on your cutting bed, and pre-cut all your most common angles into it. Do not make a backing board that fits along the back like in some videos, your mitre is build with precision that your DIY boards barely reach. Then you can align all your cuts to the cut line without a sweat. You make it look easy Paul.

Wow... YOU Sir Just saved me a world of frustration! Always HATED doing crown. Dreaded it in fact. It’s one of those rare projects DIY’’ers may only do once or twice in a lifetime and it is way too confusing trying to figure out the compound cuts when you lay the crown flat on a miter. And when it’s something a person like me doesn’t do enough to “just know” , figuring it out becomes a monumental PAIN IN THE ASS! with lots of mistakes and wasted material. Thanks! Excellent video!!!
@martimasters7704 Жыл бұрын
If you write down beforehands the angle of the saw tilt and the angle on deck left or right, then you won't screw it up because the wood is always laid flat. It's also helpful to note if the waste (the part of the board you don't keep) falls to the left or right of the saw blade. The only thing I don't like about compound mitre saws is that you must make a jig for short cutrs, because the tilt of the saw just makes it too damn dangerous to hold the wood and clamping isn't always an option. Personally, I find tilting the trim against the fence and cuting down straight on a non-compound mitre saw leaves more room for error and can splinter the wood on complex trim. But it also depends on the size of your saw, how it's mounted (mine sits on the floor), how good the blade is, and what kind of wood you're using.

@barbarianatgate20004 жыл бұрын
Very cool jig! I can see a lot of applications for that. But the problem with installing crown (that I've come across anyway) isn't so much about the transitions you make with the molding itself. More often, it's the fact that very few construction jobs leave the walls true. What looks like a 90 degree corner is usually a few degrees out of square, or one wall doesn't sit true the ceiling. Obviously, fillers and caulk come into play. The builder my wife used before we married actually had a door jam that not only curved (not slanted, actually curved) from bottom to top, but the face of it also twisted. Molding and casings were not an option. I have a 3 step method for when you run into jobs like that. 1) Take a 4 foot long piece of 2x4 2) Find the jackass builder who built the place. 3) Whack him repeatedly until you feel better.

I wish I had watched this before I was almost finished adding crown molding to a huge lanai. I always had the back of the molding facing the fence and base of the saw, for stability, and was constantly switching back and forth from 45 to 45 and flipping pieces over the get the correct compound angle. I got dyslexia quite a few times and had to recut. The jig holds things as they are actually going on the wall, which helps visualize the correct angles. Oh well... maybe next time. Thanks for the education.

Pro: you can see the short point of your measurements which is where you will most likely be cutting to Con: tear out is always on the backside so better be keeping a sharp blade handy This is why it is typically best to nest crown against the fence. Same principle applies si that you can reverse the jig just remover to keep your crown upside down
