Am very happy with my Ridgid Power Miter saw and have used it many times
for crown moldings. I have used the printed instructions on the saw to
cut normal miters for crown moldings - but what I need is more
instructions to cut more difficult compound cuts for crown moldings -
any suggestions as to the math involved - Thx - Paul Miller

After working crown for years without a compound saw, I now find it easier to forget about the compound ability of my newer saw. I put a rail on the table to stop the crown at the proper location/angle and work it all upside down. For me, it's quicker and easier.
