FINALLY! Someone making their own crown molding rather than buying pre-made MDF. I’m a girl who had no idea anything about woodworking but I read endlessly & watched thousands of RUclips videos & finally bought a router table (from Harbor Freight). I’m sure it can’t compare to the ones you use - but I’m hoping I can still create some amazing things. I overthink everything I do rather than just go in & attempt something, so so far I’ve only made the same cut on numerous 3-8ft redwood 1.5x1.5’s with a square bit that leaves a 1/2” wide groove all down the center length of the boards that I later plan to fit the narrow ends of palette wood boards I cut to 18” inch long right into so they can serve as a side wall with their opposite ends fitting right into another 1.5x1.5 that I routed the same 1/2” square groove into. The thing is I’m scared to take the bit out & put another one in because I don’t know how I could ever reposition it to be the same place it was when I cut with the bit I have in there now. (But honestly I’m not as scared of taking this bit out as I am future bits when I’m Doing the kind of work you’re doing in this video. Unless I did all the boards I planned to Work with with the same 1st bit so that I could make sure that cut was consistent, no matter what - once I had to insert the 2nd bit … I’m just nervous about how I’m Going to measure where to start on the piece I’m routing so that it’s consistent with each piece after that & the same with the 3rd bit switch out.
Why are your rubber tires loose on your Jessem guides? I have the same set but mine has not losened up yet, but now concerned they might. Good video. I have not made crown yet, but its looking like I need to try this.
The tires are a little like the tires on a bandsaw and tend to stretch and wear out over time with use. We use our stock guides a lot. We are on our second set of tires in 6 years or so. I would say the first set lasted about 5 years and were replaced shortly after this video. We sell replacement sets here. www.infinitytools.com/jessem-clear-cut-router-table-stock-guides
It typically comes down to time. For projects where time is not a major concern or for custom furniture where you cannot find molding available in a specific species or style, making you own is often the only choice. Unless working on a very high end or historic project, most clients will not want to invest in true custom moldings.
Americans love fast and cheap. Quality work is never a priority. These bits are hundreds of dollars for a set. It would take about a week to mill the crown moulding for a standard house so add a weeks labor to the cost plus materials, plus bits, plus extra overhead for router tables, set ups and workshop space. The cost to the consumer would be almost double.

Shenanigans! How's it work with fur?
These bits should work really nicely in just about any type of Fir. I would not recommend trying to route natural or faux fur ;)
Well played. I'll update my autocorrect.

Why don't more trim carpenters use router bits to make their own crown moulding? Seems like you can make any type you like if you have the right bits.

Because a lot of carpenters they’re under contract so theyre trying to finish the job and cash out
Most clients just dont want to pay
