Because I am looking into putting up crown molding (still need to work
on my popcorn ceiling problem) I looked into the easiest way to do
it. I stumbled across the EasyCoper on 'the' google and I looked into
acquiring one (I got to meet the inventor too.). I wrote a review on
my website for those that are interested. I have never put up crown
before, but I honestly can't see coping crown any other way. It takes
a little practice to get the hang of it (I cut into mine a few times
with the jig saw).

Looks pretty good. The video is more informative.

The tool looks to be an advantage or convenience for cutting copes. I
would also recommend, whether either using the tool or cutting by
hand, to do as Norm suggests: After your 45° miter cut, mark/
highlight the outer face (profile) edge with a pencil, so that you can
more easily see and follow the proper line of cut. For those of us
with failing close-up eyesight, this highlighting mark is helpful.

I was going to add the same hint to my response.I had it all typed in
and then deleted it. :-)
I learned that hint back in the 80s when I worked part-time for a GC.
And it's not just for us with failing eyesight. Those copes are usually
made on-site where the lighting (if any) may not be as good as in the shop.
