You need a chop saw with fine blade,do the cut with the cornice flat,Google compound mitre cuts that gives all the possibilities of angle of cornice mitre and bevelcut's

I'm sorry to say this Gary, but I KNOW that I gave you the answer in one of my posts. There are just two ways to cut cornice - you can either cut is flat with a compound cut (i.e. mitre + bevel angles set as HWW told you) OR you can hold it in the INVERTED position with a tall fence at the rear and a small fence at the front. That's how I was taught to do it something like 40 years ago and in the meantime geometry hasn't been revised that much, has it? The only issue in doing these cuts is that there are generally two different spring angles, 45/45 and 52/38 (degrees, obviously) used in machining the profilesBut you didn't do so. You drew attention to ones I 've read and which whilst seemed hopeful didn't turn out to solve the issue.
I'm waiting for you to describe us all as thick, next. A chippie would look at the task, make up a sub fence then do the cuts. Job done......I have no idea why anyone would come to such a conclusion. If I am likely to do so, I'm absolutely sure the chippy would be more likely to.

To clarify. And BTW I have done my fair share of wood machining. Cornice mouldings are for the most part machined with a spring angle of 38 degrees, 52 degrees (hence 52 / 38) or 45 degrees . Mouldings can be machined with a flat to plant on top of a piece of furniture (the norm for modern kitchen work), or as in the case of the stuff you showed it is designed to plant onto the vertical face of the cabinet, or for that matter a wall. If you do not have a vertical section of cabinet to plant it onto then you need to build-up the cabinet with a series of glue blocks or a batten fixed along the top at the front/side edgesbut on looking at it in detail it turned out the 52 / 38 appears to be for cutting flat pieces and not the shape I am wishing to saw.
Then use some common sense! One thing almost any joiner will do is to modify his tools to cope with different aspects of the job. Need a stable, high fence? Cut one out of MDF and screw it to the machine's back fence. Need a front stop? Make up the high fence using two pieces of MDF joined together to form an L-section. The L-section still gets screwed to the machine's back fence and once secured something like a piece of 2 x 1in PAR softwood (an offcut) can be screwed to the base to make your front stop. That is exactly what a commercial jig does - the difference is that those are adjustable for different width of mouldingThe 45/45 has the issue that with a rounded edge not being stable, especially without a high fence. Yes the putting something behind was a good idea and as I mentioned one I had thought of, but was hoping for a less risky option than holding more than one item whist cutting.
Read your posts again, please. You may then understand why others are getting annoyed with youSo clearly any reference to me cutting my hand off and implying I'm so thick I need someone else to do stuff for me, is mere trolling.
