Reply to comment by SkiVail01 in Crown moulding — single bevel saw by MisterCanoeHead

If I stayed with this saw and the flat cut method, how would I do the second cut without the second bevel? Flip the board over?

You would cut your length and angle with the first cut flat then you'd cut the back bevel cut on the crown against the fence so the miter joint is tight. Sounds easy but depending on your crown profile this could be rather difficult to achieve. Just an fyi

Got it… I see what you’re saying. I just tried the other methods… having the board top-down at a 45 degree angle against the back fence and cutting on a 45 degree angle. Worked fine for both inside and outside corners so I’ll thick with that method. Thanks for the insight.

For inside corners, one end of the crown is cut square and butts against the wall. The other end is cut mitered for an inside corner first and then coped. The process for measuring remains the same.

But, unless the crown is too big to cut "standing up" like shown in the picture linked above there's no reason to cut it flat. The picture linked above shows how to cut crown "upside down and backwards" for lack of a better way to describe it.
