DIFFICULTY RATING: (2 out of 5 - Easy)

Crown molding adds a touch of elegance to a room. Before installing, make practice cuts to gain confidence.
Step 4: Practice Cuts - #2
To cut the left side of an inside corner, place the molding upside down with the bottom against the fence stop. Set the miter to a right-hand, 45-degree angle. Your molding is on the right side of the blade with the correct angled cut on the end. Make the cut. Now try the two pieces of cut molding in place against the corner of the room to check the fit. The edges should fit tightly. If there is a crack, you may have to adjust the angle of the cut by a small fraction to get the two sides to fit tightly.
Test fit the two pieces of cut molding.
