Fastest way to cut crown molding like a PRO in minutes 👑✂️

What happens here

This step involves using a specialized protractor, which comes with the system, to accurately measure the exact angle of the inside or outside corner where the crown molding will be installed. Once the corner angle is obtained (e.g., if a wall forms an 88-degree inside corner), you divide that number by two (e.g., 44 degrees) to get the correct miter saw setting. This calculated setting ensures the miter cut is perfectly matched to the corner, facilitating a tight, gap-free coped joint.

Goal: Utilize a specialized protractor to measure the exact corner angle, then divide this measurement by two to obtain the precise miter saw setting for a perfect cut.

right jig. Step two, special protractor comes in the kit. You have to know what your corner angle is or you can't fix it. So measure your corner inside or out. Read the arrow that says corner. Divide that number by two. That's your saw setting. So if your corner is 88, set your saw to 44. You're going to make a perfect 88. The third step is to
