Having just done a couple of houses worth of moldings, I thought this was an interesting new product....



No affiliation, just thought it was a cool new tool.

Flash only website. Clunk (hits the bin). All I see of those is a little inscription [flash] at the top of my screen.

I filter all flash content because *so* much animated advertising gets pushed that way, much of it is of a nature that is likely to trigger migraines in me. (no, I can't play pong or breakout on the comp, either). Won't have anything to do with people who try to do business with a flash only website (their loss). Get filed under 'inept geek web designer'. :-(

-P.

You should try using a company PC where the only browser your able to use is Internet Explorer and watch how fast the flash crap crashes IE and/or the OS. I guess that keeps people from surfing.

it in reruns again recently. It seems to work pretty slick if we are to believe Tommy Silva and TV!

I saw it on the TOH episode a couple of years ago. The claim to fame was that you could use unskilled labor to make the copes. At the time, they wanted about $2500 for it. My thought was that I wasn't going to let an unskilled laborer play with a $2500 tool. My next thought was that I could make a lot of copes for that price.

dive. I still cope most of my insides and surely cannot compete with this machine for speed (they say 20 sec for a 4 1/2" Crown). If the quality is there it will probably be the last straw for the hand-cut cope. BTW- Most of the young fellas that do straight finish around my parts don't even own a coping saw and have no idea how to cope anyway.

I have, at Western Tool in Burlington VT. It was kind of cool, but probably tough for even most pros to justify.

IIRC it was about $2K. Interesting but the sort of thing that you would only consider buying if you were a contractor building a whole development.

Looks like this would be the starter version for most of us
