   As mentioned Mitre but if you need a little help, test fit a couple of 2x4 block cut miters to check the fit. Lots cheaper and you don't run short of crown.

   Bill,

   Lay your bevel gauge into the  45 degree corner( do each one separately) , lock in the angle, then set your gauge on a scrap piece of wood and draw the angle, now using a speed square, measure said angle and bisect it, this is your miter angle. Lacking a speed square, use a compass, set the compass to 1 1/2" , then scribe a mark on each leg of the previously made angle (one leg is the edge of the board), then scribe a new mark toward the center of the previously made angle from each side, the intersection of these last two will be the centerline of the bisecting angle, set your bevel gauge to that and transfer that angle to your miter saw.

   Hope I haven't muddied the water too much!  :)

   Can't cope 45's. always miter. You may have to do it by hand. Go for it.
