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

This is how I did it when I installed kitchens. It can be tough to hold the crown steady again the fence so you can get an attachment for the saw called a crown stop that holds the top edge(which would be against the base of the saw-upside down) steadily to keep the cuts consistent

Personally I just cut out a few triangles and used them as support between the molding and fence. Worked great!

But OP do a few tiny test pieces first so you can make sure the molding is cut the right way. It's been a while since I did this so I might be misremembering, but I think it needs to be upside down so the top of the "bottom" of your molding is against the fence?

That'll work much better than just having the piece against the fence for sure. And yes you do need to have the piece upside down, makes it so much easier to see where your mitres need to end up
