Hi Tom,

?

Good to know that there are pin nailers out there that work at reasonable pressure. On that note, I have not even tried sinking 1 3/8” (max on Grex). I plan to call the company next week, maybe there is something wrong with the nailer. I just looked up the spec on Grex it does 3/8” to 1 3/8”, I really liked that range.

Yes, I can punch them but it leaves an unsightly hole. Kindof defeats the reason to get a pin nailer in the first place. I could not find a smaller punch specifically made for the 23 ga pins. I was happily surprised that the flush pins did not tear the sanding disc. On internet, it mentined that one can dry fire the nailer to reset the proud pin. I can’t imagine being able to line up the nailer that well. Would like to hear from others if this is even viable.

Help me understand the pressure regulator trick. I only have adjustable regulator on the output. In this case I set it to just above 110 PSI. Maybe you are talking about the pressure switch, which depending upon the model allows cut-in & cut-out adjustment? If so, I would be interested in a pressure switch that can be set to 110-135 range. I have not done an exhaustive search but here is one pressure switch that provides a big range of models but it does not provide min cut-in near 110 without going to a cut-out pressure of 140.

Here is the relevant table from the datasheet above, 5^th line, min cut-in is 99 PSI for Cut-out of 135 PSI:
