http://www.issi1.com/corwin/calculator/table.txt The is a protractor or Skill Tech ANGLE FINDER by Hempe Manufacturing Co., Inc. New Berlin, Wisconsin 53151 upc D9 M40760 It is a parallelogram that can reach to surfaces that don't meet as well as inside and outside corners; ir reads the compliment as well as +/- 45 deg; There are tables at: http://www.issi1.com/corwin/angles.txt http://www.deltawoodworking.com/entry-4-projecthelp.html http://www.scrollsaw.com/miter.html However, non standard angles require a calculator: http://www.issi1.com/corwin/calculator/crown.html http://www.issi1.com/corwin/concurrentinverse.html For your 45 deg inside and outside angles, the tables agree: miter bevel angle angle from top undercut from front angle from square 32-58 molding 45 outside wall angel 75.6936 17.5512 45 inside wall angle 104.3064 -17.5512 The scrollsaw tables require interpolating for 52 between 50 and 55 deg for the 8 sided example. The deltawoodworking table gives 14.30 for the compliment of 75.6936 for the 135 deg entry. Still I do not know how the angles on your saw are defined so it would be best to practice on some scraps to check that the signs and compliments are correct. The coping saw method would work most of the time, but it would be tedious for a lot of hardwood joints. Also where a tight fit is needed for structural strength it would not be good. I started out calculating concrete forms with a draft angle for internal voids. It would be easiest to get a big enough saw so that the molding can be fixtured at the 32-58 angle so that the saw could be set at the same angle that is measured at the wall. It also would not have to be a compound saw. The calculator menu is at http://www.issi1.com/corwin/concurrentinverse.html
