Hi!
I’m making my own crown molding for my mantle. I would like to know how to cut the rear of the crown molding at 38/52 degrees an a table saw.

Grizzly G0785
Seemingly identical to the Shop Fox W1844, the Grizzly G0785 collected a few less chips in our test—but was still roughly average among the five small models. Emptying was easy, thanks to a bag that stays in place on the canister while you operate the band clamp, which also works well. Both units hang well on their brackets.
Ridgid Oscillating Spindle
With five spindles sized from 1/2 in. to 2 in. and a 4 X 24-in. belt, this tool sander has become a staple in many a shop Fine Woodworking visits.

Delta 22-555 Planer
Knife changes on this planer were easy enough, except that you need an Allen wrench to open the dust cover and gain access to the knives, and it’s not the same size as the wrench used to loosen the screws that secure the knives. The 2-1/2-in.-dia. dust port can be reversed for use on either side of the machine. Two material rollers on top of the machine aid with transferring stock from the outfeed side back to the infeed side. Finally, there is no gauge that indicates how much material you’re about to remove, a convenience that three other planers also lack.

I highly recommend that you get a copy of Crown Molding & Trim at http://www.compoundmiter.com or your local woodworking store. It has solutions for problems, like catherdral ceiling transitions, that bugged me for years. The softcover book is an excellent value.
Set the bevel to 7 degrees and cut the angles on the back before you cut the profiles on the front. Run the piece thru the saw on edge for the angle greater than 45 degrees, and then on the wide side for the complimentary angle. This is kind of a risky cut so take appropriate cautions--feather boards and pushsticks etc...
Good luck
