KREGKMA2800 Crown-Pro Crown Molding Tool

I am installing crown molding for the first time. I started with just holding the molding against the guard on my mitre saw but things did move a bit from time to time. The Kreg jig does make things easier in my opinion. I with the extension arms on my Ryobi 10" saw where a little longer so that it was easier to hold the jig in place but that's not the fault of the jig. One the Kreg tool has been adjusted for the spring on your crown it super easy to use and does hold the molding much better than just your saw alone.

This is an excellent product, as are all kreg products. The point that many make of it not fitting on their miter saw is not fair. If your saw doesn’t have extensions or a sawhorse to mount it on, you can buy or make one. I, too, bought a cheap miter saw, so I have no extensions. I just used blocks and a clamp. Not that hard.Now, to the product, you’ll get exact cuts every time, and the little stickers are great for keeping your mind straight while you make cuts. A must have for crown molding.

It does have clear instructions, it is a bit flimsy and is a challenge to hold it and the workpiece while operating the saw. That said it makes mitering more accurate and repeatable.

This really helps when it comes to cutting crown moulding. I kind of wish there were instructions for cutting vaulted ceilings but I eventually figured out how to do it. On a few cuts I held the tool too close to the saw and ended up cutting it so be careful about maintaining distance away from the saw blade. If you're a novice with crown moulding like me, I think you'll enjoy using it. With the spring angle taken care of, it makes cutting crown like cutting base moulding. The included and handy wall angle / spring angle finder completes the package. I found that even though the little cheat sheet that you adhere to the tool helps you toget started, it doesn't matter what side of the miter saw you place the tool. I found that placing the tool based solely on the cheat sheet can be confusing and cause you to make the wrong, opposite cut. DOH!For horizontal angles (standard flat ceiling) you're supposed to set the angle on the Crown-Pro to the moulding's spring angle and lay the moulding up side down on the tool and make your cut. To do vaulted ceilings (vertical angles) set the tool's angle to 90 minus the spring angle and lay the crown moulding right side up to make your cut. When you transition from the horizontal run to vertical vault, you have to make a small triangular transition piece. There are a couple websites that explain the creation of that piece but know that the vertical transition side of the piece is done using the 90 minus spring angle, right-side up procedure.

Oct 2022Pros: meant for use by DIY’ers, not professionals. inexpensive, lightweight, adjustable spring rate. Stickers on front make cutting a no-brainer. Does help improve accuracy of crown molding cuts and makes crown molding projects easier.Cons: Text & numbers on the plastic is very difficult to read. Flimsy plastic. Holds crown about an inch or two off the base of the miter saw. This leads to the cut-off pieces falling, bouncing around and into the spinning saw blade. On my very first cut, had a piece shoot-out so fast it almost broke a window. After having this happen multiple times in a single day, I sopped using it out of fear.I’m genuinely surprised Kreg put their name on this and still sells it. They usually have such great quality products - which this is not. I would not recommend this product. Check out the Rockler Crown Cut instead.

My dad and I are both experienced DIYers and he used to work in construction but oh dear LAWD for some reason crown molding scrambles both of our brains every time. We spent six hours working one day a few weeks ago and got exactly two pieces of crown up because we kept accidentally cutting pieces at the wrong angle, etc. Never again!!!! I decided to look for a tool to take the confusion out of it and ordered this Kreg jig. My father is not an effusive man but he GUSHES with love for this tool. We did the crown molding for the entire upstairs in the same amount of time it took us to previously only get two pieces up. A+++, my favorite purchase, if you’re renovating you NEED this. Just read the directions and you’ll be fine! I found it helpful to sketch a quick diagram of each room and mark each corner “LI” or “RI” for left internal or right internal so when you’re standing at the saw with the jig you don’t have to remember which is which. Good luck!!

When I started my crown molding project, I knew what I was getting in to. I am not a professional but I understood the cuts needed to be precise. I quickly discovered one cannot be precise without some sort of jig or chopsaw table extension. I was working in a bedroom and didn't have the space (or money) for a professional saw extension. I watched the videos from Kreg and decided to give this a try.WOW! this inexpensive jig really did the trick. So glad I got it.The jig has illustration stickers on it to show the proper angles and cuts for inside/outside and left/right corners. I double-checked (and sometimes had to triple-check) before cutting, referring to those illustrations on the jig.The molding turned out great, wife is happy and my friends and family are impressed. I have a general contractor in my family and he was impressed! IF you want to try your hand at Crown molding, watch YouTube, learn the skills, take your time and definitely buy the Kreg KMA2800 Crown-Pro Crown Molding Tool.

The product is excellent. It will make installing the crown molding a breeze. The delivery service dropped off the package at the home across the street from me, luckily I have excellent neighbors and it was no problem retrieving the package.
