The message from "shaun" contains these words:
Make it so the cove sits upright. Not hard to do, just make the gap between the sides of the box the same as one face of the cove not its diagonal length. Once it's made, drop it into whatever mitring system you already have and cut a slot for the blade. Or just mark it with a protractor and saw carefully down.
I helped Dad make on in the late 60s and we did the whole house with it using Gyproc.
'Sloping joints' are more usually referred to as 'Scarf' joints .
BTW: for coving, dado, chair rail skirting board etc ... buy a 'Magic Mitre' (QVC). It'll solve all your problems including the scarf joint.

Indeed, I use a plastic mitre box - as did my plasterer who did some of my coving as well. the coving is a bit smaller than the width of the box, but that is easily solved by fitting piece of batten etc. in of just the right width to hold it in square.
