What happens here

This project demonstrates an effective technique for cutting crown molding for both inside and outside corners using a single-bevel miter saw. The method involves specific miter and bevel settings for 38-degree crown molding and a clever 'flip the crown' approach, eliminating the need for a double-bevel saw or repositioning the saw for different cuts.

If your saw can't flip, flip your crown. You can do both inside corners and outside corners without ever moving your saw. For 38° crown, set your bevel to 33.9 and set your miter to 31.6. Same rules are going to apply. Inside opposite, outside the same. Just with a little flip. So, if we're going to cut inside opposite, our left side crown molding goes on the left side and the saw goes to the right, bevel to the left. Now, since we can't move our bevel in this direction, we need to cut our right side. So, all we're going to do is just flip it upside down. That's an inside corner. Outside corner, we're going to put our right piece on our right fence. Our miter is going to go to the right side, so we can cut this one normally. Since we can't bevel this way, we're just going to flip our left side piece. Get them where you want them, nail them up. Get it where you want it. Just like that. Outside corner. You don't need a fancy saw to cut crown molding. Your saw doesn't need a flip, just flip your crown. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
