I usually use a jig-saw and coping blade, takes some practice. Which piece to cope? Good to remember to cope the piece along your line of sight to hide those slight imperfections even more.

Thank you for taking the time to show this, I'm confident I can do this after watching your video.

I learned this in college. To get the perfect cope, you need to follow this video but remember he has probably been doing this for awhile. My instructor told us to have patience and take our time. You also should take a carpenters pencil and trace the outside (it helps me alot) especially if you have vision problems. So far I've got A's on my coping :P

Bay-window cuts are too difficult to cope. Just miter the joint. Make some test cuts to get the perfect fit. Use a fine-toothed blade for smooth cuts.

Tim ! When dealing with an inside corner which is not a 90, will coping work ? I have a corner which is about 130 d. Can I still use a "straight" cut for the left side molding and cope the right side ? Or, vs versa. Have you any experience with coping MDF moldings. It doesn't seem to cut "as cleanly" as wood.

How well will a Coping Saw cut through vinyl? I'm hoping to make a new pickguard for my old guitar.
