I just added crown molding to a small bathroom. My wife loves it and it came out great. This was my first crown molding experience. I followed Gary Katz’s book on finish carpentry and made a coping box and coped the left end of each trim piece (the bathroom has only 4 inside corners). My Kapex with multi-blade extensions and a sacrificial crown stop worked great. The coping was done with this baby...
https://www.amazon.com/Proxxon-28534-Jig-Saw-STS/dp/B0012BG7WQIt comes with an optional rounded base that is basically a coping foot. You do need to buy a 12v Proxxon transformer for it, but I already have a few of those. I have larger Bosch jigsaws, but I didn’t want to spend the bucks on a coping foot since I already had the Proxxon (I bought a bunch of Proxxon tools for my kids to use on craft projects).
What makes this tool effective is it’s very small size. I found it easy to manipulate. And since I was cutting pine molding it cut through it easily.
