Cutting crown molding is easy!

Jig Setup:
  • Place your molding in the jig with the bottom edge resting against the back fence. Be sure the molding is positioned correctly.
  • Adjust the movable fence so it butts against the edge of the molding as shown.
     
Cutting a Miter:
  • Set the miter saw according to reference guide shown on the jig.
  • Position the jig on the correct side of the blade, keeping it at a minimum of 1/2" from the blade.
  • Position the molding in the jig and hold both the jig and the workpiece against the miter saw fence. Warning: Always keep hands at least 4" from the miter saw blade.
  • With the power off, check the path of the blade to validate it clears the jig.
  • Make the first cut and immediately let the saw come to a complete stop before raising to its rest position.
