Angles for cutting crown flat

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After calculating the angles for the 45-degree spring angle crown (35 degrees miter and 30 degrees bevel), the presenter sets these angles on his miter saw. He then proceeds to cut two pieces of the crown molding. Following the cuts, he demonstrates how the two pieces fit together perfectly in a corner, showcasing that accurate calculations result in seamless joints.

Goal: Cut crown molding accurately based on calculations and ensure a perfect corner joint

Tools and materials

  • Crown Molding Sample Unbranded — Material to be cut and joined
  • Miter Saw Ridgid — To cut the crown molding to the calculated miter and bevel angles
  • Safety Glasses Unbranded — To protect eyes during saw operation

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 divide your corner by two. Instead of using 45, just use whatever angle you have. So, instead of memorizing these weird angles, now you
