news Keep this in mind also. Seldom is a baseboard painted on both sides, unless
preprimed. What happens to a piece of thin lumber that is only milled on
one complete side? Normally it will warp/cup. Solution, mill both sides.
I always do this when planing boards.

Baseboard moldings always have a cutout on the back side. What is its
purpose?

Is it there to relieve cupping stresses?
Or maybe to just allow for flat placement over imperfections in the wall?
Anyone know the actually reason for this?

I'm not asking for guesses or speculation.
I'm sure someone out there actually knows this info.

I wanna know why he did not cope the corners.

He used to until the new tools came out. Look back a few years and
you'll see our friend, Tom Silva (or was it Nahm's young pup who left
the show?), coping things with a power coper of some sort. I forgot
what it was called, but it was neat and fast. It might have been this
one http://www.easycoper.com/ but it hs been too long since I saw that
episode.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nmnn4DPrUc It wasn't this one.

Change the "Copies" parameter from "2" to "1" ?

Some mouldings are primed/painted at the mill, and therefore sealed. Less
likely to warp/cup. If unpainted and left out in the elements and or
different climates the board with a fresh exposed side can warp/cup. Mill
both sides and things tend to even out.

I think I heard him say on another show that since that material is
synthetic it doesn't expand/contract as much plus he can glue the
corners so they don't separate...

Bingo ... the foam crown material is much more dimensionally stable than
its wood counterpart so effectively doesn't need to be coped as it
doesn't open up with seasonal changes in RH.
