Thanks for the information and pictures. This was a great insight for me, and I”m sure will save me a lot of grief when installing crown mouldings, which although cut perfectly by the miter saw, will not be matched perfectly in the actual corners of the room. Much appreciated. John

Dante,
If you are going to be putting the crown around a pillar, you would have no use for a coping saw, only inside corners are coped. You will need a miter saw, however. An octagon would be 8 45 degree angles, 16 2250’s.

What is the advantage of using the coping saw to a mitre saw? The main reason I ask is because I would like to put some crown moulding around an octagon-shaped pillar that meets a sloped ceiling. Am I better off measuring the angles and cutting by hand, or would a compound mitre saw make things easier on me?
