I like to use my barrel grip cordless jig saw with a 244D blade and a Collins coping foot. I cope the molding in a nested position as well. That way the back bevel is cut perfectly. Not too much and not too little.
@@ProHomeByDodgeDesigns Yes, I use a jig to hold it in the same position that it will be at the ceiling. it's opposite of the nested position that you cut the initial miter.
Great idea. I've used flap discs before. Not for coping but for shaping larger pieces. I can see how that might work well. However, I do find the grinder to be a little more dangerous. So for finesse work like this I find the dremel to be a bit safer.

That’s a good method. If you practice it enough it’s probably the fastest method. Do you use a jig to hold it in the nested position?

Good overview of the different techniques! I have found that, in general, the dremel technique is easiest for me.
I agree. Once I found that technique I stopped using the others.
I use a grinder and a flap disk. Super fast and the results are always good.
