Jim,

Do you attribute the mitered crown fitting to be a function of the
tool, or your experience and craftsmanship? Isn't knowing the
correct bevel and miter angle for crown 98 percent of the battle? I
recently did crown for the first time and it turned out fine, but not
until I looked up the formula for calculating the B & M angles. My
non slider DeWalt did only as well as my attention to detail. It
worked out ok, despite my lack of experience...(which I almost made
up for by reading, going slow, and making a test cut)


DeWalt makes crown stops for the 12" scms that make crown cuts easy. This
saw is big enought to accept 6" crown, maybe bigger. Just remember the
upside down and backwards way of cutting and you never have to worry about
compound cuts and what the friggin angle it's supposed to be. Experience
helps but once you cut a 16' piece of 6" oak crown wrong you won't do it
again.......

Check twice cut once.
