Re: Crown Molding: Mitering vs. Coping. Which Do You Do?
To crown a 4 sided room:
posted: 9:13 am on February 1stMitered crown- 8 precise miter cuts
Coped crown - 5 precise Miter cuts
For years I used a hand Coping saw for crown. Until another trim carpenter showed me coping with a Bosch jigsaw and a T244D blade. I never looked back. Just rest the base on the mitered surface cut and you will be amazed at how accurate you can get. I detest people who use caulk or putty on their joints. Pay attention to what your doing and you can do perfect joinery.
Painters shouldn’t have to be trim carpenters too!
