The most popular saw is a 12 inch compound miter saw like the Makita LS1221 (about $350 or so). If the molding is not terribly large, a 10 inch dual sliding compound miter saw will do the job well (example Makita LS1016L, about $550 - 600). The dual sliding saws are really designed for cutting crown molding.

What degrees do you make an angle and bevel cut for crown moulding on an inside corner?
you could build a miter box that holds the moulding at the same angle as it is mounted between the wall and ceiling.

Can you use casing instead of crown moulding?
You can use anything you want, but, crown moulding has 45deg flats on the back so they sit even between the ceiling and wall.

How can you make crown moulding profiles?
First of all, pull up different crown moulding profiles, baseboard as well as dental moulding profiles from a trim molding supplier online. Most websites provide PDF files of their moulding profiles that are to scale. Sketch a straight line across the top of a piece of graph paper. Sketch a line 90 degrees to the last line in order to represent the wall of the graph paper. Cut out your moulding profiles that you downloaded from the internet. Position the various moulding profiles on the graph paper with the aim to make customized crown moulding profiles, which will give you an idea of how the built-up crown moulding profiles will appear once it has been installed on the wall. Pick up a sample of each one of the moulding profiles that you chose to use from the trim supplier. Secure them firmly together with the help of glue and nails in a way that you would want to assemble them onto the wall. Once it has dried thoroughly, place it up against the wall to confirm whether or not you like the moulding profiles. Install the built-up crown moulding profile one piece at a time. Make use of the sample mock up of the moulding profile as a reference to demarcate a line where it will start on the wall. From the ceiling, measure the distance all the way to the bottom of the built-up crown moulding profiles. Transfer this distance to each end of one wall and mark the location there with the help of a pencil or marker. Use a chalk line to draw a straight chalk line along the wall, which will serve as a reference line to place the first piece of crown moulding profiles. Repeat the process for the remaining walls.
What angles should be used to cut crown molding?
When cutting crown molding, two angles are typically used: the miter angle and the bevel angle. The miter angle is the angle at which the molding is cut horizontally, while the bevel angle is the angle at which the molding is cut vertically. These angles will vary depending on the type of crown molding and the corners being joined. It is important to measure and cut accurately to ensure a proper fit.
What are the common miter cut angles used when cutting crown moulding?
