I am fairly new at installing crown molding. I am doing crown in a small office with 125 deg. sloped ceiling and at the ridge it levels off 9" horizontally instead of coming to a point. I used crown blocks at the base of the slopes to eliminate transition pieces and simplify the project. I calculated all my angles for cutting but my problem is the length. The distance of the four piece that run the slope between the block and the ridge piece is 6′-6". I mark the distance on the top of the crown, then flip and reverse the piece so the top of the crown is resting on the miter saw base. Now my length mark is on the bottom & I cant line up my blade for a precision cut. How is this done?

I’ve got something to share with teens and all youtubers.This is a great corner tool for easy Christmas gifts and doing big jobs too. I’m adding to my collection of tools to show you more about woodworking.
Ok, I ordered some Armstrong vinyl floor tiles (16×16). These are not the normal peel and stick. They are much more like ceramic at 1/16" thick and hard as a rock. I tried taking a utility knife to one, and with all the pressure the blade could stand it barely made a scratch on the surface.
Is there some kind of blade I can get for my compound miter saw that would do the job? I was thinking something with really fine teeth would do the job, but wanted another opinion before running out and purchasing a new blade. (I am making all straight cuts)
Or is there another tool I need?
I have several cuts to make so something with a saw would be my preference.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks
Thanks for all the great answers. I have a couple extra tiles to play with so I’m thinking of starting with a glass cutter first. Found Lowe’s has them for under .
If that doesn’t pan out I will move on to the other suggestions.
Thanks for all the help! I will vote best answer once I see what works best for the situation.
