once you use a few times
only thing it had a little warp in it so make sure to compensate for it
When making right end, inside cuts (jig to the left side of the blade), my saw's blade guard prevents the jig from being positioned near the cut. Subsequently, the board depresses because it's insufficiently supported. As a result, the angle of the cut is altered. There are no such problems when making right side inside cuts or outside cuts on either side of the blade. Additionally, the design of the jig elevates the board about 5/8" above the miter saw's base. As such, the board must be supported along its length.
Finally, one of the hinge rods worked its way out, the blade caught it, yanked it out and propelled it across the shop; not good.
Still, I'm happy with the jig and recommend it ......deficiencies notwithstanding.
La próxima vez usaría una madera por cada uno de los 3 ángulos y no pagaría ese precio para nada . Muy Caro para algo que de costo sale menos de 1 dólar .

Finally, I set off to make my cuts. I used standard 45 degree crown material available at any home store. Nothing special here. The jig is plastic. The henge on the jig is plastic. All that plastic flexes when you hold the material against the saw fence. The crown material slides down the facing of the jig and changes the dynamics of the angles. You have to hold the material suspended without support at the proper angle to get the target cuts. While doing all this, you have to keep the jig in place against the fence. Odds of getting a multiple cuts to align are low. This tool is a waste of money. It apparently wasn't tested using common 45 degree crown as the common 45 degree crown slides down the jig to incorrect angles. Also, if you are cutting a long piece, the jig elevates the crown material and you have no support at the non cut end of your material. Its just suspended in mid air.
To top it off, its a China import. I do like the idea of an inverse jig for cutting crown and will likely just build my own, out of wood...
Don't waste your money.
