The claims of first time users are incredible. The testimonials, which obviously we take with a grain of salt, are almost religious in how these jigs avoid the human error in which direction to cut. The impression they give is the jigs help in terms of eliminating the cope issue. Still not as good as some of the talented finish guys can do, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.Ĭontributor J, may I suggest that you look more deeply into the CutnCrown website. I have to say it's not a bad little jig for the money and gives me much better results than I've done with a coping saw. On my current job I started using the Copemaster, a little plastic jig that helps you cut copes. I for one am terrible at it, and so have usually cheated and just mitered inside corners with various degrees of success. More important than cutting the angles, which anyone can really do, is learning to cope your crown. If that's the case I couldn't see spending any money on it.

You'll constantly have to refer to the instruction stickers on the jig to remember which way it goes based on the cut being made.įrom a quick look it seems like it basically just lets you cut crown right side up instead of the ole' upside down and backwards. Also be careful when cutting - you really need to hold the jig firmly. Definitely need the roller supports to hold up the longer pieces of molding.

(Cabinet and Millwork Installation Forum) I found a website for CutnCrown jigs that looks like a dream come true.

I have seen crappy crown installs and need to learn how to do basic stuff to cap our units. I have avoided crown molding but am being forced to add it to our offering to compete. I have never claimed to be a carpenter, and I am in awe of the work you trim guys do.
