I would buy one. I love using the P1cc but don't get to often enough, I'd like another reason to use it and I am sure it would speed up coping as well.

Looks like a neat idea. Also looks like a great way to butcher some crown and base, especially with a cunex. I'd never use that foot for any of my trim work. I can see it may be well suited for scribing, etc. If you really want a great fit and precise cuts on crown and base, the only way to easily and quickly have that happen is with a good coping saw by hand. I personally like knew concepts coping and fret saws. Not trying to be negative....Just my two cents and 30+ yrs experience. I've been down this road before!

I personally like knew concepts coping and fret saws. Not trying to be negative....Just my two cents and 30+ yrs experience. I've been down this road before! At first blush, I had a similar attitude. "How could a power saw with a coarse blade cut better than my hand coping saw?". It wasn't until I saw a Coping Foot in action at a local trade show that I realized that, with a little practice, you can cut just as nicely as with a regular coping saw, but at a much faster pace. When I saw my first Coping Foot demonstration I was still an hourly employee who only hung crown infrequently. Now that I'm self employed and installing a lot more high-end millwork, I'm reevaluating my processes and revisiting the Coping Foot. I'm not certain that the CUnex blade will work, but I know that the Bosch blades that Collins recommends works great.

For me personally it's not something I would go for. To me doing skirting it ain't going to speed up doing the scribe of the ogee mould the straight is done with the erika now or a hand saw. If I was doing large crown moulding then maybe it would be of benefit, but I don't do enough or any of that to benefit. I've seen the Gary katz vid and no offense to to him he don't know how to use a coping saw. Starting any hand saw you put your other thumb next to the blade to act as a guide. Which we all know.

I'm interested in the coping foot for the p1cc as a carving aid. I want to push the limits of this beast.

Good luck with this effort.
I corresponded with David Collins of Collins Tools and David Powell of Timberwolf Tools in November, 2013 and April, 2014 (when the Carvex model was announced). I sent requested photos and videos to Collins.
The second time I contacted them it was as if it was the first time. Neither David seems willing to contact the other first.
Maybe someone here is willing to loan Collins a P1cc because David @ Timberwolf does not seem to be proactive at all. Having one dealer for all of North America seems a huge mistake by Mafell in my opinion.

Tomg, I am curious to know if David Powell acts as if this is the first time he has heard of a request for a sample to be offered to Collins. Both David's have full contact info for each other.
Sheesh, I do have a burr under the saddle, don't I.

UPDATE: Alrighty folks, I finally ordered my P1cc! I am having Timberwolf Tools ship the saw directly to Collins Tool Company, so hopefully this will jump start the process.
I hope you all had a great weekend, looking forward to another fun and safe week living the dream!!

Wow - I would be hard pressed to wait for a new saw to go somewhere else for a review...that is quite a wait. Hope it all works out and they make one to use with the P1CC.

UPDATE: So, this was texted to me on Friday, I think it bodes well!! It sounds like it will take some time, but apparently this is going to be feasible. A BIG preemptive "Thank You!" to Collins Tools Company for taking on this low run, custom work! (Note the wood blocks clamping the P1cc, I love that he's taking such good care of my saw!)

Very cool! A quick release coping foot would be pretty sweet.
