I can’t seem to get the cuts correct. I’ve tried what seems to be everything to get this to fit. Pic below. I am clueless as to what I am need to do or what I am doing incorrect. Thanks in advance.
Thanks!I invert the crown, tilt the blade to 22.5 degrees, then cut at a 45 degree angle. comes out perfect without back cutting.
Thanks. I am going to retry this weekend.I invert the crown, tilt the blade to 22.5 degrees, then cut at a 45 degree angle. comes out perfect without back cutting.
The OPs photos show that he already has square cut both side of the room and is trying to fit the back piece in.I invert the crown, tilt the blade to 22.5 degrees, then cut at a 45 degree angle. comes out perfect without back cutting.
I am using a miter saw and Ofcourse the coping saw. I also have made sure to measure everything correctly as this house is a new build some times they are never right at the 45 angle so to speak.The OPs photos show that he already has square cut both side of the room and is trying to fit the back piece in.
Turning it upside down then tilting the blade to 22.5 and then cutting at 45 I’m having a hard time picturing. What kind of saw are you using?
On a chop saw cutting it upside down at 45 will show the profile to follow making the back cut with a coping saw. If you are using a table saw or radial arm saw are you making the miter cut and the back cut all at once?
I wonder if there is a video of this method?
The video I posted is the method I like for inside corners and it is the coping method. The video Havasu posted is the miter or picture frame method and requires a miter on both pieces. That method is more likely to show a gap if the wood shrinks with time.I am using a miter saw and Ofcourse the coping saw.

Your are correct I am having the problem with the fitting back into place I have watched hours of videos it seems. I have asked a couple friends , but they with actually being here to assist it’s hard to explain.
DaveDo not use the "blade tilt". Put the crown on your miter saw table with the top down on the table as if it were the ceiling and the bottom edge along the back fence as the wall, holding at the angle it will be mounted at when installed. Then cut it at a 45 degree.
