Nice addition w/ your miter saw, when it comes crown moldings, it keep the molding in place
P.S. install washer on the tightening knob, this will keep the bracket from moving, when tightening

The Dewalt saw does not come factory with this attachment, but it is an absolute must for crowm mould, they make my saw complete, I recommend them to everyone!

Because I think I need these things. I've been a trim carpenter for only 25 years and I'm always looking for ways to make the job easier, faster, and turn out better. These stops are easy to use and they work. Not on really big crown as D. Clarkson mentioned so only 4 stars but fortunately I don't have to deal with that too often. If so I'll use his idea with the extensions.

If you think that you actually need these things then you probably need more skills not more tools. I found them to be awkward to work with (especially when working with several moldings at once) and completely unnecessary.

I picked up these for some crown work but the crown molding we chose is so small the these were not required. could have saved myself a couple of bucks but maybe I will find another use for them.

These stops are a great idea, some other brands have included them with the saw,not DeWalt.. they work great but miss the mark for a perfect score because they don't extend to the full capacity of my saw (DW716)I often cut large crown and have had to weld extentions onto these to make them work for this aplication..But if your cutting crown under 6" your all set

I have been installing crown molding for years without the crown stops. After purchasing the stops, I found the task much easier. I wonder why I waited so long to make the purchase. If you are installing crown molding, you need this product. I highly recommend the crown stops to anyone installing crown molding.

For installing crown moulding, these are a very handy tool. Buy this tool if you want to install crown mouldings. Just realize this is a stamped peice of steel and is no way accurate. It did lose a star here because they could make them a little more square than they were. Of the pair I purchased, one of them had to be bent about 2 degrees to allow moulding to rest against it properly. Even without bending it to an engineer's precision, the good news is it is good enough being close and even if it were perfectly square it wouldn't help. It is the walls and ceilings that won't be square or even straight.

For inside corner joints, forget everything that says mitering joints is easy, accurate or even acceptable. Forget the True Angle Tool and cut-n-crown, etc. Face it, mitered joints are not going to be as good as coped joints. I've made some pretty nice mitered inside corners and some bad ones. But I always want excellent joints *before* the caulk so I switched back to coping once I got a good jig. With the "easy coper" jig, I cope as fast as I can miter.

Coping can be made easy and fundmental. Use these basic place holders to help position moulding on the saw. They work with any reasonable size moulding at any spring angle. Next use Easy Coper or similar so you can accuratly use a jig say to cut your copes. Quick, easy, forgiving and best joints in the end.

I've never work with crown moulding before but with this tool it was very easy.

Pro - Works as expected.

Cons - Have to completely unthread to remove it doing a different cut (not crown), should be quick connect. Should come with the saw and have a clip on space to keep them between uses.

I purchased the DeWal saw because of the capacity to cut 6 inch crown, in position, against the fence. The crown stops do not work with 6 inch crown. Enough said. I guess I had the impression that if the esteemed Dewalt engineers would build a saw with the capacity to handle 6 inch crown, then the stops would also work. Wrong. I built my own "stop" by fixing a board across the table but in the process I wasted the money I spent on the Dewalt stops. I might as well chuck them out because using a board across the table is fine. I should have known better.

Before I got these crown stops, mitering crown moulding was like rocket science, now I don't have to think about which way to turn the crown moulding to make a proper cut, I can do it in my sleep.

This is very useful - for more than just Crown Molding. When used in conjunction with the clamp, the work piece will not move on the mitre saw. My only reservation is that I wish they were larger to hold larger pieces of stock.

For a while the catch phrase was "Did I mention I hate crown molding". I had stops for the DW705 and that all changed. I wouldn't do crown molding without these. After buying the new DW715, it was common sense that I had to have them. I wouln't pay over $20 for them however.

First off,the Dewalt crown stops are excellent,I would highly recommend them to anyone cutting crown,etc.My complaint is that I was unaware that this item was being sent to me.I did go online and initiate an order but thought I cancelled it in that I was able to purchase the item locally. I have since returned the crown stops and just waiting for some indication my account has been credited.

like the way that it keeps the piece in place when cutting

The good news is that these stops fit onto the DW703 very nicely. The bad news is that when set fully out, there is only 3 2/3 inches between the backstop and the crown stop. Not much room at all to work with, so I hope your crowns are small.

Yes, they should be a bit longer to allow six inch crown. They should also have a quick release mechanism. but these are minor complaints.
Look closely at the picture. I can't understand how they can charge this price for an item that obviously can be made for 1/10 the price (look at the picture again). I still bought them because you really must have them if you do any anount of crown. The real disapointment is that for that much money you'd think they would at least be square. Mine are not (out of the box). When dewalt sat down and designed this thing there were only two basic requirements - it must attach to the side of the saw with a slot that allows adjustment and then turn square so as to be parrallel to the fence. It is totally unbelievable that they could fail at this. No name tools manufactured on a dirt floor in the south pacific would likely be more succesful in producing this product.
On the flip side I still use this product all the time and it is in fact very helpfull when working with crown.

I have these on my DW708 and the really help. HOWEVER they arent long enough for really large crown and I would like them to incorperate a quick release device . This would prevent time consuming removal when switching to different materials .Beyond this they are very nice .

If you have the DW706 double compound saw you might be disappointed with these stops. They will NOT cut crown larger that 5 1/4" which is far less than the 6" crown that saw is capable of. There is a review that talks about this a little more on the DW706 page.

They fit correctly, secure well, and make the job of cutting crown molding a virtual breeze. No more messing with making 2 adjustments (bevel and miter) on your saw. Set these up once for the width of the crown molding that you're cutting, and you'll typically only have to make your miter adjustments, which is easy when your DeWalt has the positive stops for the crown molding cuts. In addition, due to the way they hold the crown molding, they eliminate the mistake of having the molding facing the wrong way when you're making your cuts.

Can't do without this item if you own the DeWalt12" Double-Bevel Sliding Compund Miter Saw. Helped us to craft superior wood working.
