DEWALT Miter Saw Crown Stops (DW7084)

Before I purchased these I read lots of reviews and all of them talked about installing them on Dewalt miter saws. I watched a video on YouTube of a guy relocating them on his Dewalt miter saw so he could use them on larger crown moldings. I decided I could do the same thing on my newly acquired Kobalt miter saw. I received these yesterday went to Lowe’s and purchased a combination drill bit and thread cutter (tap) 8mm bit with a thread cutter tap of 1.25. I marked the location on the edge of the saw making sure that it would not interfere with any of the workings under the saw. I drilled a small pilot hole on each side and then went after it with the 8mm drill bit. I then cut the new threads. The hand tightening wing bolts that come with the crown stop brackets worked perfectly in the new threaded bolts. The kobalt saw has a slight offset in edges that wouldn’t allow the tightening wing bolt to fully tighten against the brackets. One more trip back to Lowe’s and the purchase of two 8mm 1.25 nuts and some 8mm flat washers solved the issue. I installed two nuts on each of the winged bolts along with a washer and it got me past the offset and secured the brackets to the saw.The brackets are well made and very sturdy you won’t be disappointed.

We used this to cut the crown moulding for two of our rooms (office and guest bathroom). A *MUST* have to insure your cuts line up when mounted. We measured twice, cut to exact lengths, and kept the moulding snug against the crown stops (we put blue tape on the saw bed to mark a common reference point for the downside of all the cuts), and the job looks very, very professional. Especially since we had round outside corners to address (make all 4 cuts at 22.5 degrees). Well worth the money.

Simple and useful, once you set it up it will make it easy to do consistent cuts.

I have a DeWalt 780 miter saw, and of course these fit perfectly. One wing-nutted bolt into an already drilled and tapped hole on each side of your saw installs the stops. They come off easily when you’re done, and I store ‘em in the box they shipped in.These are made of very thick metal. It’s not possible to bend them without a vise and a hammer, so don’t worry about dropping them.I've seen a lot of interesting jigs to set up your saw to cut crown molding, and some work well. But every one of them has drawbacks. They either take a lot of time to set up for what you're cutting, or uses a pile of other scrap wood, or is very complex thing that takes a lot of thought. Which way am I cutting, how do I set the saw, do I lay down the molding or keep it at an angle, etc. Cutting crown is a giant pain in the you-know-what, and generally too complex for the DIY-er.But this super simple set of guides makes all of that go away. You put one of these at each end of the saw, and a simple wing nut lets you quickly adjust for your molding. You just set it on the saw as if it were tucked into the corner of your wall and ceiling, and these little babies hold the molding at the right angle. No compound angles needed, and you can more easily visualize the cuts.Pros+ Makes cutting crown as simple as regular molding.+ Less expensive than most crown jigs, and far less complicated.+ Very small, can pack them anywhere.+ Super sturdy, will never break.+ Can use for any size crown.Cons- None.

Works well in general. The quality is heavy duty and should last a long time. Installation is easy but I deducted a star because you really need to add some type of extension to work with smaller pieces of material.

I made the mistake of buying an off brand to save some money. They looked the same but they did not fit properly on my Dewalt saw. This job, I ordered the correct crown stops. They fit perfectly and made cutting crown mold a breeze.

Purchased these to add to my older model dewalt miter saw and they fit and worked perfectly. Very satisfied with the way the molding nestled in the brackets. Also impressed with the thickness of the metal. These are very heavy quality and should last for many years to come. Great purchase and price for the quality of the product.

Best on the market .
