Because his 6 children and job is causing my delay on starting the Bookcase project. . I saw where your product would be an assist to our project. But have not put it into my schedule as yet.

Eliminate crown moulding confusion

"Installing crown moulding is very confusing. If you follow the directions that come with the Crown-Pro jig, it will take the confusion from you successfully installing your crown moulding. This jig can be used with a conventional mitre box but, works best with a power mitre saw. I am 72 years old. I bought this jig to install crown moulding in my bathroom that has 6 various types of corners. I would have not been successful on my installation without this jig. The most interesting facet of cutting crown moulding is that, your pieces have to be turned upside down in whatever cutting apparatus you use to make your cuts. For me, this jig caused me to be successful in taking out confusing aspects of the installation. Installing crown moulding on your ceiling corners will enhance the looks of your project. Don't try this without first buying this jig."

The tool is to large

"The tool is to large to sit flush on saw. Easily moves and causes miscuts. Would not purchase again or recommend."

Q&A

Will the Crown Pro make inside and outside cuts to 11/16” cove molding?: No, it will only work with true crown molding.
Will this only work with a 12" saw? You mention a 12" saw in the video and an Amazon reviewer claimed this didn't work at all with a 10" saw. Since I only have a 10" saw, I want to make sure it will work.: You can use a 10" saw up to 3-1/2" wide trim.
Can’t find my spring angle gauge. Is replacement available?: To get any replacement, please call our Tech Support at 800-447-8638 M-F 8-5 CST or by email at technicalsupport@kregtool.com
I used this exactly as the instructions stated. Measured the spring joint just to confirm it matched with the manufacturer stated angle. It did. I measured the wall angle. Exactly 90. I set the tool up at the the 38 spring angle and 45 miter. Made great cuts, but corners still not aligning. Took them down off the wall and they lined up great. Tried leaving the last foot or two unattached to wiggle it into place… no luck. What am I doing wrong!?: To get help with this, please give us a call at 800-447-8638 M-F 8-5 CST.
Can this be used on sloped and cathedral ceilings?: The Crown-Pro is made to be used with flat ceilings only.
