When I called them last year they still had some, but it is a "call 'em up" deal.

I managed to get one off ebay uk for £40 as someone who'd bought it but did not use it was selling it. It was still sealed in its packaging although it did not come with the jigsaw blade. I only bought it as I saw it cheap lol.
I used it on scribing some torus skirting an once you get the hang of it, it is an improvement to using the normal mafell base.
I was quite good at using the normal p1cc base for coping, but the collins foot makes it easier.

Here is where I am ordering my Collins Foot for the Mafell P1cc ($75.99+ free shipping on orders over $100.00, otherwise $8.00 shipping = $83.99): www.toolnut.com/collins-tool.html

I was sort of chuckling when I saw this and it reminded me of when I bought a Collins Coping foot years ago in hopes of making better copes in crown and base and other detailed moldings.
A couple of years ago I bought a Festool Ras sander. Seriously , it is hands down the best coping tool . It's fast (use a 40 grit pad) and the results are spectacular. My only regret is not having one the past 27 years of my career.
I know this is mildly off topic , but hopefully those of you who have not used this method will give it a shot.

Bought a Collins coping foot for the P1cc a month ago. Had an opportunity to use it today but didn't have the jigsaw with me at the job site... ...sigh. Luzzy: interesting to know that you use the RAS sander for coping, care to share your technique? Always eager to learn new tricks... EDIT: did find some Y**T**e clips of it. Looks good, I am not sure which technique would suit me best but I will soon find out.

Looks good, I am not sure which technique would suit me best but I will soon find out. I can tell you that one of the best things about using the Ras is that it's so easy. You are simply back cutting the profile using a disc sander essentially. The Ras makes coping so much easier without marring the finish side of the trim . All you are doing is putting the appropriate open miter on the piece to be coped , and sanding the cope in. so no different than coping by hand or jig - just the tool to accomplish . I'm fairly certain that most would find this faster and easier than the methods we were taught as apprentices.

dreckert: yes, searching for RAS 115 got some results and one of the first hits was Dave Reinhold coping a miter with the RAS 115. luzzy: thanks again. I have a whole kitchen to cope moulding in in a week or so - great timing finding this thread. It is nice to have options. I have a small Bosch 115 grinder with a bunch of hard discs so I am going to start practising both techniques and see which one that I am most comfortable with. I have coped with handsaws before but I find it a bit tedious.

Just keep in mind that the Bosch is a high speed tool where the Festool can be dialed way, way back in comparison.

Why go slow? When we can go at it high speed?

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

While I would like a RAS, I cannot justify it for coping, when I already have Collins foot and a makita grinder... I may try the grinder at some point.
