Cutting crown nested

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

For an inside corner (where two walls meet to form an inward recess), the process is similar but with reversed miter directions. First, place the crown molding in the nested position on the miter saw. Hold the molding against the actual inside corner and mark the desired 45-degree miter cut, which will be cutting away from the corner. Adjust the miter saw to the appropriate 45-degree angle (e.g., to the left for a left-hand cut, or vice-versa, depending on the orientation). Make the cut, keeping the molding firmly seated.

Goal: Make the initial nested cut for an inside corner.

Tools and materials

What they say

Hide

Swing your miter 45° the other way. Make sure you got your spring angle perfect. Put it where you want it. That's an outside corner. Now, for an inside corner, your miter's going to go this way. Put it on your bed, adjust your miter. Same deal for this side. We want to miter away from our corner and cut. That's your inside miter. Get it to where you want it. That's how you cut inside corner nested.
