Crown cuts on table saw

Jan 14, 2004 3 Replies

I don't have a miter saw, but do have a radial arm, table saw and band saw. I know you hold crown moulding upside down in a miter saw, but do you hold it "right side up" if I make a jig to cut crown on the table saw? How about using a jig on the bandsaw? (14" Delta) Thanks in advance.


I would think on a table saw you would still do it upside-down, but also "backwards". So the face would be facing away from you instead of at you on a miter saw.

Not to interrupt your thread... I'll be watching closely, but:

I did crown moulding as one of my first projects. I have a 10" combo miter saw.... I just made a jig that was a half square... representing the ceiling... pushed the crown into place and cut it right side up. It turned out ok.

So why do it upside down?

For the life of me, I can't figure out how you're going to make crown molding on the bandsaw, jig or no.
