Re: Crown Molding, Could Use A Little Help...


well the interview went well i think, i wasnt hired but he seemed like he wanted to say yes. he told me the only reason he wouldnt give me an answer right away is because my lack of sales experience. i'm going to call him tuesday. a friend of mine knows his son (the guy i met with was the owner) so hopefully that'll be enough to get me in there! i also met up with a buddy of mine who has a job thats suppose to start up wednesday so hopefully i can get on board with him for the time being... just trying to stay positive no matter how much i dont want to.

Anything under 4". Pin nail stops on the table and fence of a 10" miter saw so the crown sits in there at a perfect 90*. Then swing the blade to make left and right hand cuts. If the miter is perfect, no need to adjust the cut.

I would say I get close to 95% dust extraction, so big help having the saw where I am working, with almost no mess to clean up.

I think the makita and the kapex have the same crown capacity nested and same height base board capacity.

It also has a fast electric brake, great blade guard and a sweet fine adjustment bevel setting.

I can also set it accuratley to 1/4 degree incremeants.
Thanks to you wanna im gonna be out of pocket a few thousand $. I have found my self a new fav shop for tools. I never heard about the company woodcraft and passed the shop many times and thought it was just a furniture shop. Boy oh boy the place has some nice stuff. They had the full line of Festool in stock and i might have to go back to make some purchases in the future.

I would tell your wife you were going to the strip club, instead of woodcraft, you will get in less trouble that way.

Mark the fence of your miter saw to keep the cuts the same

Why didn't you tell him about the hide the new tools under a tarp method? Once they have some battle scars they just look like the rest of the junk in the heap and you don't need the tarp any more. The easy way is hard enough.

You just want someone to hang with down at the Silver String.

I'd have lot less lust in a strip club than I would have in Woodcraft. Silicone boobs don't impress me. Festools do. I'm glad I'm 70 miles from the closest one

I bring mine in and set them up in the living room.
I may have Festool'd the old lady on the mft/3

Then I scoot the baby back and lay them by my bed side, can't let them get lonely.

You could try the tarp method as well.
