Kreg KMA2800 Crown-Pro Crown Molding Tool

Work great

We bought this for a crown molding project Nd man it sure made the job much easier. I thought this project was going to take my husband out but this tool saved us!

First I bought another brand similar tool, and that was a bust.Then I bought the Kreg, much better! Well thought out, clever tool that is actually usable for miter-cutting crown molding. The included angle finder is not very useful ( flimsy and inaccurately marked) not sure why they bother. But the Kreg tool itself is cleverly designed and well made. I like it that it slopes away from the fence of the saw. I also like that it has a stop at the bottom, where you can rest your crown molding, so it is held at the angle you set.

This thing was a life saver when trying to get my crown angles perfect! Comes with the angle finder to find spring angle, then you set the jig to the angle, the guide sticker on the jig reminds you which direction for right/left/inside/outside corners. Just be mindful not to cut through the jig!My only negatives would be - the quality could be better and the delivery. It’s all pretty flimsy plastic so it feels like you might break it. It ships in exposed packaging and was left out in the rain so the box was soggy.

yes, I know how to use my compound miter saw to cut crown and its a pain....... BUT this does the job so much easier! you find the initial angle of the crown and then just have to measure, flip the piece upside down and cut on a 45 left or right - every cut I did fit perfectly; I probably saved the cost in mistakes (crown is not cheap!) this is worth it in time and saved materials. Im just a homeowner who does the occasional project but having good tools does make up for my lack of ability in this case! get it, it really does help the job go faster. good luck!

Oct 2022Pros: meant for use by DIY’ers, not professionals. inexpensive, lightweight, adjustable spring rate. Stickers on front make cutting a no-brainer. Does help improve accuracy of crown molding cuts and makes crown molding projects easier.Cons: Text & numbers on the plastic is very difficult to read. Flimsy plastic. Holds crown about an inch or two off the base of the miter saw. This leads to the cut-off pieces falling, bouncing around and into the spinning saw blade. On my very first cut, had a piece shoot-out so fast it almost broke a window. After having this happen multiple times in a single day, I sopped using it out of fear.I’m genuinely surprised Kreg put their name on this and still sells it. They usually have such great quality products - which this is not. I would not recommend this product. Check out the Rockler Crown Cut instead.

Everything was great

Not very easy to use. Takes a bit of playing with scrap pieces to get cut right. Angle indicator numbers underneath are very difficult to read.
