In this short video, LEVEL5 Tools’ President Scott Murray addresses a question we get asked all the time on social media, “What are the different crown dial settings used for on flat boxes?”.
For those that haven’t used flat boxes or other automatic drywall finishing tools, the flat box allows you to apply a precise and consistent coat of joint compound both speeding up your drywall finishing and improving your finished product.
At LEVEL5 Tools, we offer standard flat boxes in sizes of 7”, 10”, 12” and 14” and MEGA flat box sizes of 7”, 10” and 12”. MEGA flat boxes are essentially the same as standard flat boxes but with the added capacity for 50% more joint compound, reducing the number of trips to the pump and ultimately speeding up the drywall finishing process.
On any of LEVEL5’s flat boxes, you will find at the back what is called a crown dial with the numbers 1 through 5 on it. By turning this dial you are able to adjust the amount of joint compound or drywall mud that your flat box emits. The flat box blade is naturally crowned to allow for the emission of joint compound. The higher the setting of the crown dial, the flatter the crown and therefore the finer the finish as less drywall mud is applied.
Starting with setting “0” (where the dial is not making contact with the brass blade holder mechanism), this setting allows for maximum joint compound output suited best for deeper or more recessed joints or buttboard. If you still aren’t getting enough joint compound coming out then you are going to want to reset the blade crown by following the steps shown in the video.
As you move closer to a finish coat you’ll most likely want to be using a setting of 4 or 5 although your mileage may vary depending on what box you’re using and how finely tuned you’ve kept it. When you’re done finishing, make sure to reset the crown dial back to zero to avoid flattening out your crown while your drywall tools are not in use.
Make sure to watch the entire video to hear from Scott how to best make use of your drywall flat box and if you have any questions or requests for future videos make sure to let us know in the comments below and subscribe to get the latest and greatest from LEVEL5 Tools.

Just got new set of level5 today 😃

[@surinamel5708]

I bought this brand new tapetech 12 inch flat box with no crown. So thank you for this tip.

[@KLP368]

My new 10 inch was bugging me becuase it wasn't putting out enough mud when splitting my butt joints. Your tip of re crowning the blade worked great! Thanks

[@LEVEL5Tools]

Glad we could help!

Hola tengo una caja 10 pero en los cortos deja muy poco material y no tapa el tape como puedo hacer para solucionar ese problema

[@joseblanco9960]

Corre la caja con el ajustador en ( 0 )
Y trata de bajarle la delgadez a la masa.
La clavé esta en el temple de la masa y batirla bien. Recuerda q al batirla es fundamental sacarle el aire con el q viene desde el momento q sacas la masa de la caja... y si aún después de eso no te parece la cantidad q deja tu caja (10) entonces has lo q el hace en el video con la cuchilla de la caja pasando por un pedazo de madera, tratando de ovalarla hacia arriba, mucho cuidado con la cuchilla. Solo hazlo con un pedazo de madera y no mas 5 libras de presión.. suerte.

[@EverydayImVloggin]
