Make Your Own Crown Moulding For Cheap!

[@rbwoodwork1890]

These molding cutters work great. I had a company back east grind some molding cutters for me as I had to match some older trim that was no longer available. A little spendy but saved me in the long run.

Very informative video. I have 2 Craftsman 10" Radial arm saws. One is a 1975 and the other is from 1981. The older 75 model is my favorite. It is VERY ACCURATE. I have a laser line sight on it. OSHLUN LG R-01 , I highly recommend you get one. It shows you EXACTLY where the left side of your blade kerf will be. I recently got a moulding head and 15 sets of blades for it WITH A GUARD. Again, GREAT VIDEO.😎🇺🇸

Glad you enjoyed it :) I think the craftsman saws are underrated. Make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

Nice work!

Thank you

With hardwoods you have to make multiple shallow passes. Sneak up on it.

I got a Delta Rockwell, I love ripping on it better than my table saw

[@JustFixIt99]

I find ripping sheet goods much easier on mine since I have it built into a long bench. I don’t have room for a large out feed table for my table saw so ripping plywood on it is much more difficult. I do find ripping smaller pieces easier on my table saw though.

Awesome. Thanks for the video. We need more RAS videos like this.

Glad to share :)

I don't think that's crown moulding... it looks like an architrave moulding. Crown generally sits on the wall at a 45 degree angle.

[@JustFixIt99]

I get what your saying. However I believe crown moulding is defined by being placed at the transition from wall to ceiling. Crown can be flat on the wall, or even on the ceiling. It’s not always at a 45*.

[@versarious1292]

Are you ever going to make videos again?

[@JustFixIt99]

I have one almost finished. Stay tuned.

I am noticing more radial arm saw videos available over the last few years. They could be making a come back. Sad the disinfo that has been spread over the years. I have found, after 50 years of owning one, that cross cut and ripping is much safer than a table saw. If they start selling them again in the United States for the home wood worker, they should include a video. A big percentage of people will just go at it using their table saw routines and get into some mischief. And of course they blame the RAS. Instead of the operator. The RAS has many functions that can save you money in extra tools. But if you are willing to spend some time learning this tool, as you should any tool, don't buy it. Or any tool for that matter.

I think a big part of the resurgence is the fact that you can get a good one for less than $100 used, or often free. You can actually buy new ones still, King makes one, as well as the Original Saw Company. A big part of where I think people run into trouble is that they don’t realize you need to properly adjust and set up a RAS before it can be safely used. It takes a couple hours the first time and people just don’t take the time. That and they put a blade on it that’s not suitable for the RAS. There are still some ripping tasks I prefer to do on my table saw, ripping very thin or narrow pieces for example. However since I have a very small shop the RAS is able to remain set up at the edge, against a wall as suppose to all my other equipment which needs to be rolled out and set up. It’s very handy being able to use one machine to cross cut and rip quickly if I need to for a project. The reverse side is that since I have my saw built into a long work bench it’s far easier and safer for me to use it to rip down sheet goods. All tools have their uses and down sides. The RAS can be pretty useful for the cost though, no question.
