I received the table from Mr. Fusco re cutting 135degree crown moldings, but I am at a loss. Must be doing something wrong. I have a fireplace in a corner. the configuration is similar to a corner cabinet. I have no problem with 90 degree inside corners and outside corners. But, I do not know how to hold the crown at the 135 degree angle. Do I hold top to the fence for the right hand cut or bottom to the frence? Should it be flat, as in the table from Hitachi, which works perfectly?
Any help is greatly appreciated . Found some more masterial so I can practice as necessary.

Your 135° is a compliment to a 90° corner. In other words you're trying to fit a 45 instead of a 90. Set your saw to 22.5° and use the "upside down and backward" method described here. http://mywpages.comcast.net/krumy/crownout/cutting.html
See if that works for you. You could also set your miter and bevel using 22.5° settings as well.
