Cut Crown Molding like a Pro!
Every so often a new tool comes
along that you look at and say to yourself, “Hmmm-could it really be
that easy?” Well, the EasyCoper Tool Company in Greensboro,
North Carolina introduced a nice little “jig” that does just that.
Coping has always been a pain,
because that thin coping blade never seems to make the turn when you
want it to or you get less than a perfect angle of attack. Even "old
school" finish carpenters will admit they have had to re-cut
material or scrap-back molding because they couldn’t fix a bad back
cut with a rasp, knife or putty.
 The
EasyCoper consists of two light-weight, plastic jigs (one left, the
other right hand cuts). The really simple aid allows you to cut
molding with a power jig saw instead of a coping saw. That means
less wrist, hand and arm stress.
The concept is amazingly simple and
executing a coping cut is very easy. The only real mental gymnastics
required are to prepare the molding to be coped. You still do that
the old fashioned way – the same as if you were using a hand saw.
The degree of difficulty for that task based on your skill level and
availability of tools (miter box, chop saw or compound miter saw).
EasyCoper is pre-drilled so
it can be fastened to the end of a work bench. Once the molding is
mitered, it is placed in the jig (face up). To cope the molding, all
that is required is that you follow the profile of the stock with
the saw just like you would within a hand saw, but here, the jig
forces you to cut at the correct angle every time and provides good
visibility of the piece while working it. It can’t get much easier
than that.
Any jig saw will work, but a thin
blade is a must. The manufacturer recommends Bosch T119BO as the
blade of choice.
EasyCoper can handle crown
molding up to 5 ˝”. We see EasyCoper as a time and materials
saver and that equals money. Whether you are a carpenter by trade or
a DIYer and crown molding is in your future, this is a must have for
your tool box.
Here is
what our customers have to say:
"I recently was doing a crown molding job just after buying the
EasyCoper. I had not tested it yet so I was using my coping saw and
some muscle power. I was tired and had had enough so I grabbed the
EasyCoper. Perfect copes, quick and easy. I love it."
Ed, from Taylorsville, UT on 10/22/2006
"The EasyCoper is the best thing since sliced bread! I made a
perfect cope the first time I used this great invention. I have
other coping aids and tools, but this is the best by far. I only
wish I had it fifteen years ago."
B, from Raleigh, NC on 7/12/2006
"I used your product for the first time today. It’s great and fast."
Tim from Tracy, CA on 12-2-2006
"Thanks, you have made me a better carpenter. The clean cuts and
ease of operation make for a more consistent product."
Barry, from Biloxi, MS on 8-22-2006
"I received the EasyCoper and used it this weekend. It is a
wonderful jig. I’m a weekend carpenter and your jig made all the
difference. I practiced on a few pieces of scrap and then finished a
project I was having a b**** of a time with before."
Thanks, George
"I bought your product in December and love it. I am a homebuilder
in NJ and have done about 1000 feet of molding with your tool in the
last 2 months."
Thanks, Rob
"About two months ago, I ordered an EasyCoper for our classes here
at the college and it has been a hit with the students."
Mike
"Yes, we used it in our class. What a difference! We did it the hard
way and all the folks butchered their pieces. Then to the
EasyCoper and Wow. Next time I'll
use a fine tooth blade. Much better cuts."
Eric in CA
"I find that coping corners gives the best result on most crown
jobs. After setting up my saw for inside corners I don't change it.
I always start from the left and work around the room. I put up a
scrap piece in the corner I start from and cope the adjacent piece
and extend to the other end of the wall adding 1/16 for snap. When I
get back to my starting point I remove my scrap piece and fit my
square end under my coped piece. By doing this I only have to cope
one side of the crow on each piece.
There are a few new tools or should I say aids that make coping much
easier. There is even a power coper available if you want to spend
the money. Many of the new aids are inexpensive and believe me make
your job much easier. One is a guide system called EasyCoper. You
can master this set up in about 5 minutes."
Thanks, R
"Yes, I've have it for about a year now and done several jobs with
them. It's called EasyCoper and they are well worth the money.
They're not good I suppose as the more expensive devices, but once
you get the hang of it, it does very accurate work. It sure beats
the heck out of coping large maple, poplar or oak by hand all day
long. They don't take up much room in the truck, so they're there
when I need 'em."
Jer
"Just got my EasyCoper and used it. What a difference! This is so
much easier than trying to miter the joints and I would have never
been able to cope without this tool! Thanks a lot!"
