The Coper will work perfectly on your first cut almost all of the time! If you ever have a problem, hopefully these answers will help. Remember that if you are not getting absolutely perfect corners, something is going wrong and we want to help! The Coper will work on styles of baseboard and chair rail up to 8" in height and 1" in thickness. It will not work on crown molding (that sits at a 45 degree ) as that requires a compound cut.

How long does a mold template last?
A mold will usually last for several jobs (100's of cuts). Also, ensure that you always let the router do the work of the cut. By pressing too hard against the mold template you will decrease it's life. If you ever wreck a template, it is no big deal as you can make another one in 5 minutes!

Where can I get additional router bits?
You can order the correct bit right here on our website. You can also purchase these products from the location where you purchased The Coper. You must use a 1/4" flush trim bit if you want to pick up the fine details of a baseboard.
What do I do if my cut doesn't exactly match the baseboard?
If the coped edge does not line up, it usually is because the template has shifted up or down. When the baseboard is in The Coper, the top and bottom of the baseboard should line up exactly with the template.
How do I use The Coper if I need a 45 degree (outside corner) on the other end of my piece?
To complete this you first use The Coper to create the inside coped corner. You then place the baseboard into the corner and mark the other side. You now cut the 45 degree corner on the mark and you have a perfect piece!
Will The Coper work on all types of wood?
Yes, The Coper will work on all types and styles of wood.
How long will the router bit last?
The router bit should stand up very well as it has a carbide tipped bit. You should always allow the router to do the work while making each cut. You should also allow the bit to cool down between cuts. Overheating can dull the bit and cause bearing failure. You can extend the life of the bit on hard woods (example: maple) by first making a 45 degree cut on the board edge you need coped. In this way the bit only needs to go through half the amount of hard wood. The bottom line is that the bit will wear at the same rate as any other quality bit.
