Using a power miter saw is the best way to cut crown moulding angles. The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle set it to 45 degrees for one side of a standard 90-degree corner. The saw can be set to 45 degrees to the left or 45 degrees to the right.

Crown molding with a 38 degree spring angle is so common, in fact, that many miter saws are equipped with pre-set detents or marks at the 31.6 degree miter and 33.9 degree bevel settings used for 90 degree corners.

Step One: Set the miter angle to 31.6 degrees. ... Step Two: Set the bevel to 33.9 degrees. ... Step Three: Lay the crown flat and cut.

Definition of Crown Spring Angle The crown spring angle is the angle measured from the back of your crown molding to the wall when holding the bottom of your crown molding firm against the wall (in full contact with the wall).

Tighten the pivot nut, then remove the tool from the corner to read the angle in the digital display. In the example, the outside corner is 92.2 degrees. Divide this number by 2 to calculate the angle of the miter cuts for your moldings. In this case, the moldings should be mitered at 46.1 degrees.

To find out what the spring angle is, set the crown molding into the crotch of a framing square and check where the ends align. if both numbers are the same, it is 45/45 crown. If the numbers are different, such as three inches on the wall and two inches on the ceiling, it is 52/38 crown.
