Thread: Craftsman Molding head...

    Craftsman Molding head...

    I'm sure there's gotta be someone here with experience with a molding head on a table saw.

    Anyone ever use the Crown Molding set??? I just picked up the set, and best I can tell, it was designed to be run tilted at about a 25 degree angle. Maybe I'm wrong, but the directions show to use it vertical. This just doesn't work, because then the cuts don't work right. Now here's the kicker... If it was meant to be tilted, then all their cutters were designed for a right tilt saw. But I have a left tilt saw. My solution is to use a ramp on the right side of the blade, and run the fence on the left side. But this is a complicated setup. There must be an easier way.

    Anyone have any solutions??? Or know if there are any designed for a left tilt saw? Or maybe I've just got it all wrong?

    Ah ha!

    Sorry, I figured it out... Just have to make 4 passes, with a shallow cut, and flipping the molding end for end to get each profile...
