Cutting crown molding flat

What happens here

To summarize, for crown molding with a 38-degree spring angle, the miter saw settings for flat cutting are: Miter 31.6 degrees and Bevel 33.9 degrees. Remember these rules: for inside corners, the saw's miter direction goes 'opposite' to the piece's position on the saw (e.g., if the piece is on the left, the miter goes right). For outside corners, the saw's miter direction goes 'the same' as the piece's position on the saw (e.g., if the piece is on the left, the miter goes left). This method ensures perfect crown molding joints for your trim projects.

Goal: Recap the miter and bevel settings and rules for inside and outside corners.

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.
