But check your corners as they may not be true 90 degree angles. Tom in KY, there are crooked houses everywhere. |

crown mouldings
I bought a tool called an angle divisor at Menard's for about ten bucks that
helps in measuring such. It actually seems pretty accurate or at least close enough for that kind of measuring. The link below is what it looks like and you can check your local stores if interested. --- Steve http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=66588 "Squarei4dtoolguy" wrote in message oups.com... andy wrote: do you need a compound miter saw to cut crown mouldings or just use 45 and block the bottom to fit square to back and bottom of miter saw, If you are using the upside down method of cut, you do not need a compound miter saw.

The link below will wrap and probably not work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...lance&n=228013 It gives me the angle of the corner and the miter angle. Tom in KY, cool tool accumulator. |
