1. Measure the angle of the corner
2. Divide this angle by 2
This is the angle formed by the
side adjacent to the wall and the
cut
3. You will have to adjust the saw
angle for both left side and right
side cuts
4. The length of the molding section
is measured to the corner where
both walls meet.
5. When you make your cut, make
sure your molding is secure or
it will not fit properly.
6. You can use a mitre box with
either a hand saw or electric saw

If it is an inside corner, try a protractor like you used for Geometry in High School. You can also ask at the lumber desk of any Home Improvement store and also the usually in the tool department as well. There should be someone to show you how to use a speed square. They are cheap and can show you what the odd angles are and then just set your saw accordingly. Good luck! It usually isn't as hard as it appears.

If you are simply cutting a flat piece of molding that requires and odd angle, you can purchase and angle guide (couple bucks) at home depot. You can place this tool against the angle you need, using its two swinging ends, mimic the angle you need, tighten the tool and then place it against the miter saw to set the cutting angle. Simple and works every time.

I assume that you have been cutting the molding with no problem correct?
I've only seen 22, 45 & 90
Try various degrees with scrap pieces.

What type of moldings and what type of machine are you using. Use a T-bevel to determine the angle . I can help with the right info.
