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.

An adjustable tool that measures the corner angle, then uses innovative marking guides to pinpoint the dividing line. Just strike a line from the vertex through the intersection of the two arcs and you're ready to cut. No guesswork, no math, just tight miters in less time. A simple way to get flush-fitting miters. Great for simplifying crown molding installation. Also includes an adjustable small angle tool to use on outside corners for which the Miter Divider is too large.
