I have been hearing so much about using angle grinders for coping. What disk/attachment do you use? I am about to do some crown molding and am looking for advice on this.

I just use two 36 grit sanding disks back to back...no special attachments needed.
The doubled disks allow you to cope from either direction without flipping the grinder and also allow you to flip the grinder as needed to always blow the dust away from you (dust still flies all over, but it is better to send most of it away from your face).
Thanks Fellas. That is just what I needed to know. I like the back to back idea. Double sided sander.
Watch your hands and fingers.
you only get one chance to do it right the first time
Thank you. Is it best to clamp it or do most of you just do it by hand?
Clampett, Jed.
I mean Jeb.

I've used 36 grit with good results. Don't know if I would go any finer than that. Be prepared for dust
