I agree that the Coper won't be handling irregular corners. I also wonder about the router-bit tearing woods, like oak, as you exit the pass. THE trick in coping by hand is the right TPI on the blade, and the tension on the fresh/sharp coping blade. Also, a comfortable, but solid, way to hold to work really helps.

For MDF (paintable) stock, who cares, a little latex caulking will hide anything. For real wood, fancy baseboard, the Coper simply will not cut the smaller inside radii OR the mustard.

I DO see a place for the Coper, just not in my type of work. Spiffy idea though.
