Build some adjustable fences so you are able to increase the angles.

That'll work. Or, you can cut the complimentary angle... 32 degrees. Just
remember to switch the direction of the stock.

Flip the wood over and cut to a complimentary angle??
ie, if you want ot cut a 60degree angle, flip it and cut a 30 degree
angle

It sound like a good logic, but, it just doesn't work.
This would work: you want to cut using the complimentary angle, feed the
piece of moulding at a right angle with respect to the fence.

place a 10 degrees triangular piece of wood right against the fence, rest
the crown molding against it and set the saw to cut at a 48 degrees angle.
