Here's Gary's CCF article, an early one using a Bosch. http://www.garymkatz.com/ToolReviews/collins_coping_foot.htmlKen Nagrod said:Peter Halle said:Just to make sure that nobody gets the wrong impression here, Gary gave me permission to video snippets and not the whole program. The quality of my videos could have presented a poor representation of the high quality of his presentations. Gary produces excellent videos. Mine that day were not.
You should always request permission prior to making a video.
None of this is directed at Ken. This is just a general statement for our many readers.

Good point, Peter! Just so everyone knows, I am not posting the videos anywhere. They are just for my use. I watched a sample of each last night and they turned out better than I thought, especially the audio.
awdriven said:I think there are at least a few youtube videos about coping crown this way. I have this accessory on by Bosch barrel grip jigsaw and it works a treat. I don't think it would be very easy to have the saw hooked up to dust collection while doing it though.
Gary had no problem using the Trion with dc hose while coping crown and chair rail, but keep this in mind. He showed a better way to cope with the jigsaw. He mounts the molding in a homemade adjustable clamping miter box so he's looking down at the profile's length to cope like when mounting it in position on a miter saw. Much easier using the jigsaw that way and having greater control over it removing material. He demonstrated when to use a pulling motion of the jigsaw and when to use a pushing motion to increase the ability to control the cutting action.
You learn a lot of these great tips/tricks at his shows and on his videos.
The CCf needs a minor modification to fit the Trion and Dave Collins will do it for you.
BTW there was no dust extractor hooked to the Trion Gary was using yesterday (had a front row seat)
