Abandoned boards are overlooked but being aware of how many linear feet of molding you can get out of salvaged boards can help you save a lot of money. You can use the help of a cheap metal detector by swiftly moving it along all four sides of the board.
You can create a little drop-insert for your table saw. Alternatively, you can use a board with a hole in it on top of a sturdy sawhorse. Make sure to use the right screws to mount the router to the surface. Tip: Buying router bits in sets is a lot cheaper than buying them individually. Miter saws are pretty easy to use since the blade is locked in to cut at a specific angle. Method 2.
Plan to spend minutes coping your corners. Coping a corner involves installing one piece of crown molding flush with the wall with the second piece laid on top. This is done by mitering one corner and then using a coping saw to cut the wood behind that corner out. Since this method requires the use of a manual tool, it can be kind of tricky to cut the back of each piece out.
The seam between the 2 pieces of molding will be cleaner, though. For professionals, this may take minutes. Cut one of your pieces of crown molding to match the angle of your wall. The piece on top is the one that you cope to fit on top. Start by using a miter saw to cut one piece at an angle as described in the previous method. You can always make minor adjustments with your file.
The matching piece does not require coping. You only need to make a perpendicular cut to make it flush with the wall. You can do this with a miter, coping, or circular saw. You only need to remove the back. Clamp your crown molding to your work surface. Take your crown molding and place it on a stable work surface. Use c-clamps or table clamps to hold the crown molding in place by wrapping the clamps around the table and the molding. Cut through the back of your crown molding with a coping saw.
With your crown molding secured, place the blade of your coping saw directly under the face of your crown molding. Carefully move the saw back and forth at a degree angle to begin removing the wood behind the molding. Work the saw all the way through your crown molding and remove the wood in the back. Continue to use your coping saw to cut through the wood.
This can be kind of awkward to do since you need to move the saw while you cut. Work slowly and adjust the angle of your saw as needed to trace behind the face of the molding. Use a file to remove the smaller sections near the face of the crown molding.
With most of the wood behind the crown molding gone, there is still going to be 1—5 millimetres 0. To remove this wood, place a file underneath your crown molding.
Brace the top of the crown molding with your nondominant hand. Repeat this process for every other section that needs to be trimmed. Hold your 2 pieces together to see how the coped joint fits. Coping a joint is more of an art than a science, and you may need to file away more wood.
