This crown cutting jig makes cutting and installing crown molding a BREEZE!
If you've ever cut crown molding on a miter saw, you know what a pain it can be. I used to have to keep example pieces of molding with the cuts nearby to remind myself every time I do it because it can be so confusing.Â
To get the perfect cut, there's a lot of flipping and reversing (anyone else singing "is it worth it, let me work it?"), and making sure the crown lays just right on the saw.
I've tried coping the crown molding joints (using a hand saw to "cope" the ends of the crown) and can never get it right.Â
Since I've installed so much of this trim over the years, I shared how to cut crown molding on a miter saw and also how to use decorative corner blocks that make installing crown molding much easier.Â
But THIS, my friends, is the best method of them all!
If you've read about my projects for any length of time, you know how much I love decorative trim and molding in a room.Â

This small room has eight corners though, and cutting crown molding is one of my least favorite DIY jobs. Installing isn't bad, but the cutting is a pain!Â
So I finally looked picked up this crown cutting tool I've seen a few times online.Â
I found this Crown 45 cutting jig and figured I'd give it a try:Â
