Crown Molding on the FLAT Flip Over way

Here is a quick video showing a great trick on cutting crown molding on the flat. Most guys argue that cutting on that flat is a waste of time, and not fast enough. Cutting crown on the flat using the "Flip over" technique is by far the fastest way to cut crown, that I have used.

The only problem with this technique is that it doesn't always work with every crown molding. Most crown moldings are parallel and can cut with the face down. But there are some that pivot or rock to much when face down. Try it with your next install and see if it works with your molding. When it does work it will really speed up your installs.
