Many novice woodworkers think crown would be difficult, but soon find its as easy to cut as any moulding. I have installed miles of crown an walls as well as cabinets and my advice is save your money on a "jig" for this. Making a few pencil lines on your base and fence for the spring angle and remembering the "upside down and backwards" rule, crown is pretty simple stuff. I also agree on outfeed supports or a mitre saw stand that already has them, preferably rollers.
@slickwilly, thanks for the information, your words of experience had me running! So I alos looked at the cutncrown version of this crown molding tool and it looked much more solid and they had a roller system that holds the long lengths of the crown. Wish me luck, I hope it works.
this tool is very dangerous for pieces longer than 4ft, the weight of the molding on longer boards will want to cause the jig to lift up, tape doesnt help. speaking from experience, its easier just to cut it normally on a saw then buying a gimmick jig, which sadly i found out by buying this. its actually pretty hard to use because you have to keep the molding square to the jig, and the jig square to the fence, imagine trying to do that on a 16ft piece

Something I found helpful was to just support longer pieces at the end with a block or some 2x4's. Worked great!

Good idea, especially for those who don't have a compound miter saw.

$30 = 2 boards of crown that I will probably go through before figuring this stuff out!
