@@Wood ok thanks im gonna have to watch your video again closely...i tried this and it cut un even underneath..ill pay close attention..thanks again ..oh yea and it was smoking like crazy...ill probably change blade to more teeth like you mentioned
Top lesson. Question. Why don't make the parallel guide from the beginning, like the small one, and place it for the guides in final procedure! Also avoid the final tuning of the clamps.
Great Video! I think you may have marked the wrong edges of the blade though. If you wanted an exact width cove you should have marked the opposite edges which represent the widest profile of the blade that will pass through the cut. The host commented on it as well but he was mistaken. It's not the first and last contact you're concerned with, it's the leftmost and rightmost edges that determine the width of the cove. Otherwise your cove will end up a bit wider than you set with your jig.
The most you can take off at one time is based on how big your carbide tip is and the cut amount it can do. I just did this the other day. I am here learning how to make better cuts. The angle is what I just learned. My set up was pretty basic, I just set up one random fence and went about cutting a 2x6 scrap then did a few dado passes to make something very simple for a sample for what I intend to install in my home. I plan on doing a few thousand feet of crown molding and want to learn a few more tips.
