Molding is a broad term that applies to different materials used in trim carpentry. The two most commonly used types of molding are crown molding and base molding. Crown molding is used to finish the corners where walls meet the ceiling, and base molding is applied where the walls of a room meet the floor. While you’ll cut base molding to be installed standing vertically, crown molding should be cut and installed at an angle. For most molding cuts, you’ll be cutting 2 beams at 45 degrees to fit together on either an inside or an outside corner. While you can technically use any type of saw to cut molding, a miter saw will do the job most effectively.
