TIPS FOR CUTTING COMPOUND MITERS
A compound miter is a cut requiring both a miter setting
and bevel setting. A compound miter is used for making
frames or boxes that have sloping sides and are wide
at one end and narrow at the opposite end. Compound
miters are 'lricky" to make because the miter setting
and bevel setting are directly related to each other,
Every time the miter setting is changed the bevel set-
ting must also be adjusted; likewise every adjustment to
bevel requires a corresponding adjustment to miter.
Because it may take several tries to obtain the desired
angle it is advisable to make test cuts in a scrap piece
of material.
TIPS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
A slide compound miter saw _sexcellent for cutting
crown molding. Crown molding is difficult to cut
because in order to fit correctly it must be precisely
mitered.
All Standard (U.S.) crown molding has a top rear angle
(fits next to ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle (fits
against wail) of 38°
On the miter and bevel scale indicatorthere are setting
marks (CM) for Crown Molding.
