Angles for cutting crown flat

What happens here

The presenter then applies the same trigonometric formulas to calculate the miter and bevel angles for a 45-degree spring angle crown molding. For a 45-degree spring angle, the complementary angle is also 45 degrees (90 - 45 = 45). Assuming a standard 90-degree corner (half angle 45 degrees), the miter calculation `atan(cos(45) ÷ tan(45))` results in approximately 35.2 degrees, which the presenter rounds down to 35 degrees. The bevel calculation `asin(sin(45) × sin(45))` results in approximately 30 degrees.

sign 52 * sign 45, and you get 33.8, rounded up to 33.9. But, what if you're not using 38° crown? Let's cut and calculate for 45°. Spring angle is 45°. Using our equation, we'll get 35.2° miter. I'm going to round down to 35, and our bevel is going to be 30. Cut. And if you did your math right, they should fit together like that. Your corner doesn't have to be 90°. Just
