 I've Used One Of These,,,,,,Sep 18, 2005
By Tom in KY
"Square Eye for the Tool Guy"
This is a nice jig for just about any miter saw. It's made of materials that have been proven durable over time. It's fully adjustable, both for width of crown from wall and for hight from ceiling to bottom of crown. The width adjustment is a plastic crown stop with 2 solidly anchoring screws attached through slots in the bottom of the jig. The hight adjustment is steel extension tabs that slide up from the back fence. This is a fine set-up for dual compound saws, BUT, the motor on a standard compound (or non-compound) mitersaw will contact the back fence when you use the jig on the right side of the blade. This is not a problem if you can make all of your miter/coping cuts on the left side of the blade. The upside down method of cutting crown can get confusing if you're mitering in both directions anyway.
If you would prefer to use the full capacity of your saw though,,, buy the crown stops that the manufacturer of your saw offers. The manufacturer of your saw probably offers crown stops that let you use the full capacity of your saw. The Bench Dog takes away 3/4 inch wide and 3/4 inch high, just like a homemade version would. On a 10 inch miter saw this can be a problem when cutting wide crown molding. Although, you can make a home made version that leaves the capacity at original specification.
ONE LAST THOUGHT, FASTEN THIS DOWN TO YOUR SAW!!!!! Keep your fingers a little while longer and make your cuts more accurate. Leaving this jig loose could lead to cumulative error. Sawdust can get under it, the angle could be affected by the way you have the material supported, etc. The fence is probably the best place to attach, just put a couple of short screws right through the back of the fence and into the jig. Then if the material is a little off of the jig on one side or the other, you'll be able to see it. And with the jig fastened down, the chance of the jig sliding around and losing your mark is eliminated. This is a nicely crafted jig and will give you very dependable service if you treat it well.

 Crown Molding Jig you NeedJul 19, 2005
By N. luczak
If you are a novice attempting to cut crown molding, this jig is for you. The Bench-Dog Crown Cut Molding jig does a GREAT job explaining the whole "cutting opposite" technique used to cut crown molding. The best part of the jig is the detailed pictures on the jig itself. There is no need for instructions, although they are very helpful as well. One can make a similar jig on their miter saw using wood and some glue (I tried it, I couldn't get it right), however this jig made it very simple and fast to cut crown molding. A must have for the do-it-yourselfer. Word advice though, before you cut your expensive crown molding experiment with an extra piece (or cheap piece) of crown molding to get the hang of it first.

Crown-Cut Fast, Easy with Great ResultsFeb 28, 2005
By T. Lewis
I've used Crown Cut to cut crown molding for 12 rooms and it takes all of the confusion and guess work out of making inside and outside corner cuts. No need to set up special benches, crown stops, setting the bevel angle and trying to figure out the upside down and backward cutting. You don't even need a compound miter saw. There are only 2 steps to cut perfect inside right/left and outside right/left corners. The best part is, the steps are listed right on the Crown Cut jig. For a Do-It-Yourselfer, it will make your crown project less confusing and frustrating. Even my wife was amazed how fast the rooms were done and how much better the crown made the rooms look. To summarize, no headaches, fast great looking results and you will be proud to say I did it myself.

Great Investment !Jan 10, 2007
By G. Krage
I consider myself a pretty experienced woodworker, but when it came to cutting and installing crown moulding it was a challenge. I reviewed several home made type of jigs, but they seemed cumbersome and involved. In my internet search I came across this jig on Amazon and decided to give it a try. I was a bit sceptical at first, but after several joints I was sold. The more I used it, the easier it became to visualize and cut the different mitres. I had inside 45's, outside 45's, inside 22.5's and outside 22.5's all handled easily. If not for the poor construction and wall angles in my home, the job would have been completed in no time. This is truly a time saver and well worth the $30 investment.

this jig really works!Jul 23, 2005
By H. Mendez
"Do it right everytime even if it takes a little longer"
I've read that this jig didn't work for everyone, although I have to say that mine work beautifully with my 10' sliding compound miter saw, I don't know how it would work with a regular saw, but I've got to say that with a sliding miter saw works really good, I do home remodeling as a way of make a living & when I was asked by a costumer if I could do some crown molding, I was hesitant at first I was about to turn down that offer when I found this jig so I decided to give it a shot, oh my god, this thing made doing crown molding such a breeze, there's no easiest way believe me, now I do crown molding on a regular basis & with this jig it takes no time at all...
