Cutting crown molding flat

Does your crown molding end up looking like this? You want it to look like this? Let's get after it. Before we even touch the saw, you need to understand how crown sits. This is your ceiling and this is your wall. Crown doesn't sit flat on the wall. It sits at an angle. This is called your spring angle. Crown molding comes in different spring angles. Know what spring angle you have before you make the cut. For this video, we're doing a 38° spring angle. We're going to start with an inside corner. Put your left piece on the left side of your saw, right piece goes on the right side of your saw. For inside corners, the saw goes opposite. Take your miter put it at 31.6. Tilt your bevel left set to 33.9. Ceiling side towards your fence and cut. Take your right piece, put it on the right side of your saw, move your miter to the left. Move your bevel to the right. Should look like that. Put them where you want them and nail. Left. Right. For an outside corner, saw goes the same. Move your bevel right ceiling side towards your fence and cut. Right side, right side of the saw, miter to the right bevel to the left ceiling towards your fence and cut. Get it where you want it, nail it up. Little bit of [snorts] caulk and some paint will clean that right up. That's how you cut 38° crown molding flat. Remember a couple things. Miter 31.6, bevel 33.9. Inside opposite and outside the same. Anyways, I hope this helped. Save this for your next trim project. I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
