Claim:
A miter saw table accessory device for supporting a portion of crown molding at a constant relative angle while being cut with a miter saw, said accessory device comprising: a panel construction having a top side, a bottom side adapted for operative contact with the top surface of a miter saw table, a front edge, and straight back edge adapted for contact with one edge of a section of crown molding, while said crown molding is angled upwardly against a back wall of the miter saw table, a first side edge and a second side edge, a central slot extending inwardly at a right angle from the straight back edge of said panel and toward said front edge, and being equally spaced from said first and second side edges, and adapted for receiving a miter saw blade upon making a straight cut in said molding, a first notch and a second notch extending inwardly from the straight back edge of said panel on opposite sides of said central slot, each of said first and second notches having a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, and a rear edge joining between the inner ends of said first and second lateral edges, said first and second lateral edges each being angled away from the central slot proceeding from the back edge to the front edge as well as away from each other from the back edge of the panel, said first and second notches being dimensioned to receive said miter saw blade when making an angled cut in said molding, a plurality of apertures elongated in a direction between the front and back edge, extending through said panel, and a plurality of fasteners each being removably positionable through one of said apertures and into a table of a miter saw for releasably securing said panel to said table, said table in one of a plurality of positions away from the back wall of the miter saw table, wherein said panel is adapted to be secured to the table of a miter saw in one of the plurality of positions such that its back edge faces and is spaced from a vertical guide wall of said table such that portions of crown molding of various sizes may be positioned on the table with one side edge abutted against the back edge of the panel and the other side edge supported at an angle against the vertical guide wall such that the crown molding is stabilized on the table while being cut by the miter saw.
