   Hi Nuge,

          I don't quite follow but it might be easier to visualize if you cut your material upside down and angled against the fence like it will sit on the cabinet.  Then it should be a ( as it lays on the saw like above ) a 45 degree cut on your left with a 11 1/4 degree cut on your right.

   I've done it that way before but  because of the size of the crown,

     and the fact that it has a foot on it,  I took  the sliding compound from my shop to do the job.

   Now that I'm at a place that is not a 90 degree  because the corner cabinet is  not a right angle I'm stuck

   Think of a pantry in a corner. it goes across the 90 , but stands 3"proud, and  should be a 22 1/2 like one face of  an octagonal

   This crown is made by Thomasville, and has what I call a foot to attach to the top of the cabinets not to the face.

        In other words the upper cabinets on either side of the corner one are slightly deeper?

         just re-read your post . The corner unit is proud of the cabinets on either side. I see your problem. Did you try cutting some experimental pieces? Could you fabricate corner blocks that the crown could die into? Without mocking something up I 'm not sure what's going to happen with crown that wide.

         Maybe someone else can chime in here.

   If it is an inside corner coping it is the easiest way.

   Pardon my spelling,

   Mike

   Make sure that your next project is beyond your skill and requires tools you don't have. You won't regret it.

   I bet you're right about the coping. That makes sense.

   I still don't know about the angles when I'm cutting on other than a 90 deg. The set angles and tilts may not apply. Because of the foot, I had to raise the crown up from the table with a couple layers of 3/4 ply.

   I've allready done 75% of  the job when I ran into this dilema, it was getting late, and I figured my subscription to F.W.W. online would pay off here!

   I did do some test pieces but the harder I tried the behinder I got!

   make a mock up crown mold on your table saw that you can cut standing up on your miter saw. the lay flat and match the angles. that is how I do it.
