Cutting Crown molding with 135 degree angle wall

Here is a crown molding calculator:

why not search the internet for crown molding. There are techniques that involve carving out the mold shape that are simpler than precisely matching the angle. Otherwise, there is a small hand device you can buy that is used to precisely match angles and transfer them to your work.

Do you have a miter box or power saw or what?

Ken, It looks like a great tool, but I'm a bit confused by the values calculated.

For wall and spring of 90 degrees each and for moulding applications using butts meeting coped edges, isn't a miter and bevel somewhere around 32-33 degrees each?

This calcutor might be good if you're to miter your moulding for each corner, but because walls are rarely square and coping is more preferable in those instances, how can I apply this calculator for projects to be coped?

TIA!!

Thanks! That did the trick, I knew it couldn't be as hard as I was making it.

For coping, you could still use the calculator. First cut the piece that will be butted, then use the calculator to miter the other piece, then cope it as usual. Of course make sure that you cope at an angle that will work with whatever wall angle you have.

Hi, The miter and blade tilt setting for any corner angle also depends on the spring angle of the crown that you are installing. For example if you have 38 deg spring angle crown then for a 135 degree corner the Miter =
