This chart shows the compound angles for cutting crown flat on the saw bed.......which I seldom do.....but is neccesary for this 8" crown. Spring angle on most crown moulding is 38 degrees......this crown is a 45 spring angle. So for a 90 degree corner... 35.3 miter and 30 bevel....even with these correct settings....the slightest error can cause distortion and cuts wont match perfectly.
Most compound saws have the miter and bevel settings marked for cutting a 45 degree angle....but will only work for 38 spring angle.
When I got to the corner cabinet where I usually cut my moulding at 22 1/2 degrees....i got a little confused.....took some head scratching to realize that the correct "wall angle" to use is 135 degrees....miter set to 16.3 and bevel @15.7......voila!
