Question 1

Will this work with a radial arm saw?

Accepted Answer

Good Question.....I have both saws...a 10” radial arm and a double bevel compound sliding 12”. I cannot answer your question based on experience but sitting here staring at the pictures and having read the reviews and other questions, I suspect not. Why? Because if it did the manufacturer would be sure to brag about that. Also, it occurs to me that there would probably be clearance issues with the motor on the radial arm saw as well as the right and left cut issue to consider.. A lot depends on the design of the saw. If it were me, I would try to make my own jig at the angle required before I spent any money. I hope this gives you food for thought. BTW...if you don’t have a compound double bevel sliding saw, Harbor Freight sells some really fine saws that will do the job for you. We included the price of the saw in our calculations on our crown molding DIY job and saved a bundle of money versus  a contractor.

Question 2

if I am installing crown molding over a cabinet and not against the wall how do I use this? there would be no spring angle.

Accepted Answer

All crown molding will have a spring angle as it is a characteristic of the crown molding itself, whether you are working with cabinets or up to a wall.  Your cabinet face will become the vertical "wall" stand-in, and your ceiling will be the horizontal surface creating the 90degree angle. Depending on the crown molding you purchase, it will slant either 38, 45, or 52 degrees in order for the crown to sit flat along the cabinet and the ceiling.

Question 4

Can this be used with a 12" miter saw?

Accepted Answer

I have a 12" Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (Chicago Electric) from Harbor Freight and it worked just fine for all the crown molding we put in the house.
