[@jbonegw]

Love the fact that you included the fails. 😃👍

[@texascraftsman7215]

Love it had one for about 15 years my dad a grandad use a coping saw for so long they where a little skeptical at first but they came around I still use a coping saw on every job so my boys growing up using one like I did

[@stevenfoust3782]

Tape or paper on the nut to wedge it into the wrench is the way it’s done.

[@thecarpenterpros9822]

Love the coping foot! Have used mine for 4+ years!

[@firstreviewer8966]

I can't say anything, but I know somewhere down the line I'm kin to this fellow. Just remember "Never Give Up." I have never watched a more entertaining video. Excellent, FR

[@lp8243]

Thanks for the video. I didn’t have any CA glue on hand so I set my nut inside the 7/16” wrench and placed a tongue suppressor underneath it and slid both under together. The nut stayed in the wrench and went right on.

[@mikegrimaldi5844]

I just installed mine to a plug in older dewalt dw321. I used the original dewalt screw to secure the collins foot and didn’t need to use the supplied screw/nut combo. I’m sure all saws are different.

[@0000kris0000]

This was a pretty funny video lol. I’ve been considering getting a Collins coping foot for my dewalt jigsaw but I think I’d rather get a second jigsaw than swap between the two of these bases.

[@geraldc7629]

OMG I almost died laughing watching you with the wrench and nut, especially when you had it on the closed end. I kept shouting USE A PIECE OF TAPE.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Haha. I knew there was a better way.

[@WoodchuckWranglers]

@@InsiderCarpentry like holding the nut with some needle nose pilers

[@crownmoldingbyspectaculart941]

When I did mine I left the lever that comes with that jigsaw to use as the nut and I recommend that people do what you did and completely replace it because that lever just gets in the way

[@stephenwatson1873]

Selotape or masking tape n the back of the spanner works a treat.

[@manuelguerrero2445]

add tape to help the piece stay in place, while you secure the nut

[@martyvanord984]

i admire your bravery. Many people would have paused and then puzzled it out. When I need to hold a nut electrical tape id my go tp

[@darrelstickler]

You can attach a neodymium magnet to the hand end of the wrench. The wrench won’t saturate the magnetic field so the nut will stick. Same with screwdriver to remove. You don’t need to fuss with magnetizing.

[@mattpisani6933]

Hi - I enjoy your videos and wish I had half your woodworking skill 😂. I had questions about using a jigsaw for coping inside corners for baseboards. I thought about using a jigsaw with the Collins foot and I would most likely want to cope from underneath the baseboard. So - can you really cope from underneath the piece if the jigsaw is not the barrel grip style? I'm worried about the position of the trigger. Also, my baseboards are stained and I don't want chipping if the stained part (front) so, coping from underneath the baseboard, would I be using an up cut blade? Thanks, Matt

[@philstubbs94]

Great video. I was laughing my head off the whole time. Because...... I did the exact same things when I installed mine. Fingers, box wrench got it on then had to take it off. needle nose pliers and lastly masking tape. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@chipmhandle]

Small nightmare! Thanks again

[@kevinlemay4924]

Wow; that's complicated! It's WAY easier on some other saws: I've installed it on 2 Bosch jigsaws (1591, 12v), and the newest Milwaukee barrel grip. None of them have a loose nut to worry about. good ol' dewalt..... ;P

[@whitevanman8703]

Neither does my Makita corded, as far as I know the only jigsaw which has a loose nut is the DeWalt.

[@brianmchone]

Can you not get a longer version of the factory T25 hex bolt that came with the original flat shoe and just thread through the coping foot into the original hole?

[@carpenterone3]

This might possibly be my favorite video 😂👊🏽

[@bullwinkle7542]

Does the LED lights blind you whe upside down I am installing collins coping foot shortly please respond if you can block it or remove

[@noahmelville1800]

Lol when I watched you fumbling with the wrench I thought to myself how about ca glue and activator( same stuff you used ). Btw might want to tell people to remove batt before install. Not everyone is as competent as you.🍻

[@stephencarlisle3743]

That was a laugh , it’s what we say in the UK of having a Mare ! At least you didn’t lose your temper 😀

[@bradlewis6015]

What blade are you using I have the same setup but haven't found a blade I like

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Bosch T244d is the best for coping.

[@cameronp5728]

Probably a comment that is beneath everyone watching this video, but putting a small strip of tape like duct tape on the wrench will work. Stick the sticky side to the wrench, the other side will hold nut snug

[@jeffchandler5520]

use a piece of tape to hold nut. make it long enough so you can pull it out

[@davidstraussjr1553]

Do you need a special jig saw, or can any jig saw can add a coping attachment. I have a BJV180 makita.

[@mrskipdiggidy2725]

Put a piece of blue tape on the one side of the open end wrench,when tightened pull wrench out

[@noskills9577]

Have you tried the festool blades that have the little teeth on the back edge of them? Looks to be a good idea for tight turns with a jigsaw.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

I haven't tried that particular blade.

[@nycboxing8359]

I read instructions and it recommends needle nose pliers to hold the nut. No need for glue, tape, blade etc. Seen couple of different installs and what nobody mentions is that the shim should be pushed forward towards the blade to the end of the elongated mounting slot. The actual coping will rest on the rear mounting slot. At least that has been my experience with the Dewalt DCS 335

[@chowgp]

Is it better to use a jigsaw blade with more teeth or less teeth for coping? Would more teeth be better for a smoother finish cut?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

The recommended blade is the bosch T244D I find it works best.

[@valtcustom3602]

I just grabbed the nut with a pair of needle nose...after i cussed a few times trying to position it with a screwdriver. Still only took a few minutes. Hasn't come off after quite a bit of use.

[@royalvarez6436]

Spencer, random questions, what became of your Cope Master machine? Why did you go with the barrel grip jig saw?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

I still have it but haven’t really needed to get it out for a long time because I’ve been doing so much flat base. And for small houses I can do it with a coping foot just as fast as it takes me to drag the machine out. I only get the cooemaster out for bit jobs with more intricate profiles.

[@royalvarez6436]

Insider Carpentry thanks for the insight.

[@behnam22]

“There’s my NUT! “ 😂 lolz

[@Mike-dy8bq]

1 second ago Do you know how to turn off the LED lights? When using the Collins coping foot, the saw is upside down and the lights are blinding. This makes it very difficult to see the profile being coped.

[@jbstepchild]

If u use a piece of tape to hold the nut to the wrench then when u pull the wrench out the tape will come with it

[@jbstepchild]

Painters tape

[@willh1827]

Bro use needle nose pliers. Haha

[@samuelzaccaro5908]

Can this be used on a "D" grip or regular style jigsaw?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Yes

[@jbstepchild]

Sometimes being g a genius you forget the simple things

[@leecolvin1305]

Which shim should you use on the coping foot

[@leecolvin1305]

I bought the DeWalt saw and copingfoot but it has two shims one’s a little thicker than the other which is the best

[@leecolvin1305]

I went with the thin shim, is that right

[@nailbndr9869]

I used a popsicle stick and a tiny drop of CA glue to hold it

[@dungle5081]

You can use blue tape to hole the nut on the wrench 🥳

[@Chigroup]

How do I get to your amazon store

[@InsiderCarpentry]

I usually have it linked in the video notes on the videos. Thanks!

[@nathanmitchell4839]

painters tape on the open side

[@aaronduarte9508]

Lol.. Love the realism

[@joedefloat7802]

put masking tape on one side of the spanner to hold the nut.

[@timlist4173]

please remove the battery when changing/installing attachments or blades. Also, what do the instructions say about install?

[@cahg3871]

You need three hands to put that coping foot on.Thanks

[@plafayette1]

Scotch tape, painter's tape, electrical tape, any sort of tape.

[@monkeygraborange]

Alright then... so it's _not_ just me!

[@renaissanceman8581]

So interchanging base plates isn’t time conducive. Damn.

[@stevemoog3740]

Lol. Man that was funny! Not too hard!

[@Chigroup]

Found it

[@Natenezz12]

use the nut tongue that the dewalt tool comes with. dont use new nut
