This is New to me,but going to try,do you need a compound miter saw to cut
crown mouldings or just use 45 and block the bottom to fit square to back
and bottom of miter saw,thought I'd better ask before I have a pill of 2'
pieces all over the floor,any an all help will be good
I delete previous posting,I hope my miter saw skills are better than my
computer

If you are using the upside down method of cut, you do not need a
compound miter saw. But check your corners as they may not be true 90
degree angles.
Tom in KY, there are crooked houses everywhere.

Yep,
I've got a Starrett ProSite Protractor 505A 12. The link below will
wrap and probably not work.

It gives me the angle of the corner and the miter angle.
Tom in KY, cool tool accumulator.

Watch this:

If you put a long link between angle brackets, "<>", you'll beat the
wrap.
I second the Starrett protractor for carpentry, but don't forget to
cope the inside corners!

I bought a tool called an angle divisor at Menard's for about ten bucks that
helps in measuring such. It actually seems pretty accurate or at least close
enough for that kind of measuring. The link below is what it looks like and
you can check your local stores if interested. --- Steve
