My dad showed me how to cope trim with my coping saw and it’s very satisfying to me to see a perfectly coped corner. I enjoy precision. But I found it mesmerizing and very satisfying to watch ithis machine cope a piece of trim.
Some years ago I was starting a sizable trim job in Ct. which happened to be about 5 minutes from Copemasters home base. So a friend and I went and checked it out. Very nicely designed machine. Unfortunately, the large crown on the new job had a detail that made it very difficult to cope, regardless of the method. If I had seen the machine earlier in my career, I would have bought it in a heartbeat but the nature of my business was changing and I couldn't justify the purchase.
Awesome tool! It is painful to see people that do not understand the differance between doing some copes for a couple hour job or being in a house for 3 days straight doing crown or base. This is not a tool for quick jobs, it's for large jobs where accuracy and production is a must.
This a great tool for people that like coping. In my opinion using a angle finder doing miter and using glue to every joint. Has work the best respect for people that cope but I just can’t see myself doing that ever.
I am very impressed. This appears to be a quality tool that is worth the money if you are demand consistent quality workmanship and are doing enough production to amortize the cost. I do have a concern about the durability of a template made from poplar or MDF. The majority of our work is high quality painted trim. Crown in particular is almost exclusively MDF. I avoid MDF in potentially wet areas.
That's a very cool machine, but it takes a long time, and a lot of skill to set it up. Now I know that by using it over and over again you will become faster, but it still takes time. Another thing, I don't know exactly what the machine costs, but if you don't have a lot of moulding that needs to be coped, it will never pay for itself. Everything that machine is capable of doing can be achieved by a miter cut anyway so I guess it's really up to the guy paying for it?
Ummmm I guess some have the time and that certain love of making adjustments. I can use my 20v angle grinder with flat backing pad with 80G sandpaper ,trim a 3000sqft house clean up and be fishing by the time you get this thing even running......this is like shooting a fly with an M1A1!!
Bill Shaw Copemaster They weren’t wrong when you consider what the compressor nail gun technology was like back then. If the cope master got cheaper and faster for the pro doing low runs or for the weekend warrior, you’d be onto something.
Coping saw is easier and quicker. There is no way I would buy this machine and hula it to a job site to cut a few pieces of crown or base. Takes way to long to set up and use. Not cost effective. Besides my copes a perfect.
Agreed, I seen this machine used in Rancho Santa Fe on a huge home running Trim, As you said, this isnt for small jobs, this is for production high end work.
@@copemasterproducts I've learned not invest if it's not able to be brought on the job. As a small business owner I wouldn't buy. Marbe if I had huge jobs but not yet anyhow

Great design good videos!
I can see where it could have a place on a job site.
Very nice engineering and a different way to skin a cat.
It's like a giant key making machine

Was this product used on This Old House many years ago?
Why not just have the stylus linked directly to the gimbal for the blade so that they're always at the same angle?
The point if coping is vetter fittment and faster labor not 8 mins per cope
Great tool. But why the early 90’s porn music?
Where can i buy this piece of equipment?
And please tell what you do if you have double cope on a piece of crown. Do you have to set the machine up again?
Thanks, just checking. I would love to have one. If you send me one for free I promise I will only brag on what a wonderful tool it is. (-;

Too much candy for a dime
To operate this machine is necessary to go to the NASA and take a course for about a month!!

I can see the advantages of this machine on the job site, but doing traditional Hawaiian dance with this machine would get you fired pretty quick.
Lol. Bring that out on the job. It's pretty cool but not practical

You waisted your time.
