Blacky,
The one I see advertised in FHB is the Collins coping foot.Look in the back of any FHB magazine for particulars.
Personally I just use a jigsaw and let the base ride on the cut edge of the mitre.Make a few relief cuts and practise on about 4 or 5 feet of scrap or until you feel comfortable and you will never go back to a grinder.The advantage to letting your saw ride along the cut mitred edge is your cut is backed perfectly so there is no need to clean out the cope.

I have the Collins coping foot, but the Bosch saw. I think that the coping foot is available in more than one version.
I have had this thing for about two years and still think it is pretty slick. Probably the best thing I can say for it is that you cut from the back, eliminating the chip-out.

>I need a little advice on a coping foot.
Are they a good addition to a saw? I have the DeWalt quick change blade model. Do they make one for it? I have a coffered ceiling to do with like 7" crown (the biggest I ever saw in one piece) usually use a 4" grinder but it may be a bit much dust. thanks
