you can find any angle by marking the walls with squared up "try Pieces" hold them up so they fit the wall and ceiling correctly and draw a line on the top and bottom. Then do the same on the other side of the angle. the points where the lines intersect is your "angle" that will get you started. For the compounding Bevel. you need to steepen the cut equally on both try peices till they fit. it will either be increasing the bevel or decreasing the bevel to open or close the fit.

Thanks archmolding, I wish you were in my area to install mine. I find it hard to find someone to trust and am scrambling to find a way to do it myself. This anglebuster piece of crap looks like a complete joke.

hahaha the people I market too and work for have to much money to even think about learning this skill. they jsut want ti done right the first time and dont even think twice about paying for it. so I could really careless. if this works for some of you homeowners then fine. but you can learn this trade just by reading the directions of the saw you purchase. Look for "crown settings" most saws have angles already set for compound mitering.

Do you mean Pythagoras?

Do I hear a professional installer worried about his job? Not every wall is exactly square. Not every cut is perfectly aligned from the last board.. Right, using a compound miter saw is soo easy for every homeowner, they never have problems with it Pythagoras.

good job pitagoras

its gadgets like these that confuse the homeowners into thinking that its difficult to cut crown without using this gadget. I was installing crown at age 14 professionally with my dad on elite upper end homes with my 8.5in hitachi compound miter saw just by reading the directions on how the saw works. 15 years later with my own business i would NEVER even think to use these bogus gadgets its just not that hard people.

You are assuming something that is not true. The angle extends the length of the transverse board to match. Do not knock it without trying it. Yes there could be problems of an uneven wall right at the angle or something which would be hard to match not because the angle could not be matched but because the crown molding does not vary in width automatically to match a warped wall. Without the anglebuster this would be much harder to line up the crown molding let alone dealing with a warped wall.

whats is this? ??? new still nex time clean the saw bye

Um, I don't think that works. Unless both pieces are cut with identical angles, one point will extrude past the other despite the angle matching up. Even in your video the top point of the left piece goes past the right piece but is hard to see due to camera angle. The further the angle from 90 degrees the more predominately the points will stick out.
