I have everything I thought I needed to put new base moulding in the kitchen however I ran into a problem. I need to make the corners match neatly. I have been told I need a miter saw. I went to the store and looked in the saw area and they don’t have any. I did see big power tool miter saw things for over 0. Is there any other way to do this mitering without paying that much for some big electric saw that I probably would not be able to use anyway? This is a first for me and I was hoping to complete this on my own but it’s looking like I might need help. Thanks!!
I bought one at the local hardware store. It’s a Stanley brand. It isn’t plastic and wasn’t expensive. I did see the miter boxes that are about .00 and plastic.It was the closest to an electric one that they had. Anyway I should be able to figure it out. I’ll do some experimenting with cuts before I cut the actual wood.

I need to install standard 38° x 52° x 90° crown molding. Outside-corner.
Does anyone know of drawings, or plans (measurements) on how to make a simple Miter Box that I can use to make "outside corners"?
The type of miter box that I need has an acute angle, so you can lay the crown molding flat (like baseboard trim, or door trim), and cut it perfectly.
A normal miter box won’t work for me. The crown molding that I have is too big, and all of the miter boxes at the stores (and the ones that I have) are too small or too shallow. Small crown molding would work, but that’s not the case here.
I am not going to buy or rent a compound saw for one outside-corner. Not worth the cost. Cheaper to ruin a few boards to get it Right.
I use coping saws for the inside corners. That’s not a problem.
I acn’t transport 16 feet to a local store to have them cut it for me either.
But here’s an insane example of what I need.

But on a much smaller scale

I have a small project i’m working on around the house and I will need to get some type of miter saw to make some cuts. I’m just curious if there is any other advantage to a power miter saw over one of those much cheaper hand boxes besides ease of use? The wood i’m cutting right now is only 1/4" think and very soft wood so doing it by hand really won’t be difficult. So i’m just wondering if it’s worth the cost to go with a power miter saw? Will i get cleaner cuts out of it? Keep in mind I probably am not going to go out and buy the 0 power miter, just the cheap one.
