I am sure someone has tried it. It would be like using a putter to drive a golf ball 250 yards. Get the right tool so you don't kill or maim yourself.

Your videos are very helpful. I was wondering if there is any way to cut crown molding with a table saw? i am a new woodworker and all these tools are getting expensive. i want to make the most of each. Thanks for the advice

Thank you. I am just starting out in woodworking. My wife thinks I have a wooden thumb. I enjoy your tips. Keep up the good work!!!

Clamp a straight piece of wood on the vertical fence of the saw.

What if your crown is too big for the top part to be up against the "wall"?

No worries! I appreciate your professionalism. Many people leave bitter, useless comments. Let me know when you post your videos. I would love to learn your methods.

Furthermore when I was working on modulars and the corners were almost always out of square I had to resort to your method. It is a little bit harder though because the crown I worked with had rounded edges on the back and I notice that yours has nice big flat surfaces. I will make a video demonstrating my method when I get some spare time. Your a true craftsman and thanks for getting back to me on my many comments. Sorry for so many but your videos got me psyched!

You're right, and im sorry for being so critical. The reason I dont know the angles is because they are marked on my saw so I just set it and go to work. Ill admit that this is an accepted method, and ill also admit that my method takes alot of getting used to and youll mess up ALOT before you get the hang of it...

(Shaking head and frowning) Why would you say such a thing when you see the method works? Not all people own a compound miter saw and the cradftsmen of hundreds of years ago never had access to them. The method I show here doesn't require knowing the spring angle, and you admit yourself *you* don't know it. Learn to accept there may be better ways.

This is NOT the way to cut crown. You set your saw at 2 DIFFERENT angles 36.2 and 31.6 I beleive and simply flip the peice around to get the different cuts. You will NEVER have to adjust the saw. YOu put the peice into the saw laying FLAT. Sure this is how most people cut it but on an informational video you should show the RIGHT way of doing things. The angles are marked on just about every miter saw.

Here's another satisfied customer!!! I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU!!! I've wasted about 30ft of material learning how to cut crown. This is the greatest tips for timers...and you don't need a coping saw!!! AWESOME!!! Your tip works...very efficient. Don't know what the guy above was on, but you don't have to defend your experience...it shows...and it works! Thanks!
