Compound Miter Calculator

Calculate miter and bevel settings for two equal compound-miter pieces from the inside corner angle and workpiece tilt/spring angle.

For crown molding, use the installed spring angle specified for the profile.

How it works

The calculator resolves the corner angle and workpiece spring/tilt angle into the saw’s miter and bevel components.

miter = atan(sin(spring) ÷ tan(corner/2))

Limitations

  • Saw scales and crown-orientation conventions vary. Confirm the sign/direction and make a test cut before cutting finished material.
