crown molding cut flat

[poppop]

I have always cut crown molding the normal way on a miter saw. i would like to try and do it flat because the size does not fit the saw.I looked on the net for the compound angle charts but was wondering if anyone has had experience using these

yes,if you compound mitre with both angles set to 33.5 or something like that it works wonderful.there is preset stops on my dewalt mitre saw for just this purpose.

My Ridgid 12" miter has preset angles for crown molding. I have using mine for the past few days put my molding up.

The Delta website has a chart for the settings.

I just installed crown molding and used the link below to calculate the angles.
