How do I cut the wedge (transition) piece for a cathedral/vaulted ceiling?
Reference the second photo on page 42 in our book. The second photo shows the typical turn for a cathedral/vaulted ceiling. Joint A is the horizontal turn (note: both surfaces of joint A are cut with the same miter and blade tilt settings and are mirror images of each other). Joint B is a vertical turn (both surfaces of joint B are cut with the same miter and blade tilt settings)…… You will cut the length of the wedge piece (#2) so that it always forms a point at the top of the piece of crown molding and the tops of crown piece #1 and crown piece #3 will actually touch.
