– Always observe all of your saw's
instructions, including those for
positioning and clamping the
workpiece. In some cases, it may
not be possible to set the re-
quired angles on a particular
saw or type of saw, and an alter-
native means of performing the
cut will need to be used. For ex-
tremely acute (sharp) angles, it
may be necessary to make the
cut using a taper jig with a table
saw or circular saw.
Determining Angles for
Compound Miter Cuts
The Miterfinder™ can be used to
easily determine the miter and
bevel angles needed to create pre-
cision joints at compound angles.
This is particularly useful when cut-
ting crown molding laid flat on a
compound miter saw.
Procedure
1) Set the Spring Angle
The spring angle is the angle be-
tween the back of the crown mold-
ing and the wall.
