In this blog post, we are going to show you how to make crown molding on a table saw. This is a great project for beginners, and it can be completed in just a few hours. Crown molding can add a touch of elegance to any room, and it’s a great way to update your décor without spending a lot of money. Let’s get started!
Now How To Make Crown Molding On a Table Saw?
In order to make a crown molding with a table saw, you will need the following steps:
Measure the length of your wall.
Choose which type of wood you would like to use for your crown molding and cut it in half.
Create a template: Cut a piece of cardboard that is slightly larger than the size you want your crown molding to be. Trace around this template on both pieces of wood so they are identical in shape.
Use sandpaper or an electric sander to smooth out any rough edges and then put them together with glue or screws. You should now have one long strip of wood that looks like part two sides facing each other – this will become part one side when attached later on!
Place some clamps on either end so it doesn’t move while being cut using a table saw blade set at 45 degrees, as well as another clamp onto middle section for extra support if needed (do not hold anything else). Then turn on the saw and slowly feed inwards with either hand till it reaches halfway down your board’s thickness – this should take about ten seconds depending on how fast you are going. Make sure there isn’t any loose dust or particles around before starting so they won’t get caught up during the cutting process!
Clamp another piece of wood to the middle section for extra support if needed (do not hold anything else). Turn the table saw back on again, but don’t start feeding yet; make sure there isn’t any loose dust or particles around first.
Turn Slowly Feed Inwards With Either Hand Till It Reaches Halfway Down Your Board’s Thickness This Should Take About Ten Seconds Depending On How Fast You Are Going Make Sure There Isn’t Any Loose Dust Or Particles Around Before Starting So They Won’t Get Caught Up During The Cutting Process!
Turn off the saw once more time so it doesn’t heat up too much from being used continuously at full speed. Clamp another piece of wood to one side as well just in case if needed (do not hold anything else). Feed your current length into this second clamp, again with either hand till halfway down its thickness – which should take about ten seconds depending on how fast you are going and make sure there isn’t any loose dust or particles around before starting so they won’t get caught up during the cutting process!

Cut 45 degree angles at each end using a miter saw or hand saw. Make sure these are as accurate as possible so your molding looks neat and tidy when it is finished!
Use a coping saw to cut out the inner design of your crown molding (we will go over this in more detail below). This can be quite tricky, so take your time and make sure all the cuts are straight and even.
Hammer in any protruding nails so they are flush with the surface of the wood. Finally, use a chisel to remove any excess wood until everything looks neat and tidy!
Tools:
- In order to make crown molding on a table saw, you will need the following tools and materials:
- Table saw
- Miter gauge
- Saw blade with at least 40 teeth
- Coping saw
- Hammer
- Chisel
- Square
- Level
If you’re using nails instead (which is much easier), hammer in all of these before putting the crown molding up so there’s no risk of getting hit while trying to do it later on.
Now you’re ready to attach your crown molding! Place it in the desired spot and use a level to make sure it is straight. Use either screws or nails to secure it in place – making sure that they are hidden behind the molding so they can’t be seen. If everything has been done correctly, your new crown molding should look just like this one:
Now square the edges and use sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots.
Finally, use a chisel or coping saw to cut along the inside of your molding where it joins with another piece of wood – this will help hide those unsightly gaps!
And there we have it – you’ve just made your own crown molding from scratch using nothing but some basic tools and a bit of elbow grease!
Now it’s time to put on those finishing touches. Use sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots, then wipe down with a damp rag or sponge before applying stain if desired (we recommend using an oil-based product). Now you’re ready for painting – use whatever color suits your room best!
Conclusion:
Making crown molding can seem intimidating at first, but with a little bit of practice, it’s actually quite easy! In this tutorial we have shown you how to make your own crown molding using only a table saw, miter saw, and coping saw. We’ve also gone over some tips on how to make sure your cuts are as accurate as possible – so if you follow all these steps carefully then hopefully there won’t be any problems at all!
