Hi Imran,?

My bad, yes I meant to say that the Makita compressors (well, at least the MAC 700 and MAC 2400) have adjustable pressure switches. Back when I was using a Mac 700 as my "daily driver" on-site air compressor, I cranked-up the cut-in pressure to close to 115psi so it could keep up with a framing nailer. The adjustments could be a little fussy, as even though the pressure switch had separate adjustments for cut-in and cut-out pressure, adjusting one would seem to still adjust the other, and my memory is that setting the cut-in pressure at 115psi made the cut-out pressure closer to 140-150psi. I don't doubt that I reduced the life span of the pump but running it hard, but at ~$250 these little compressors are essentially disposable. Not sure I'd mess with a larger/more expensive compressor.?
?
My current shop compressor is a Makita MAC 2400, and I've just left the pressure switch as it came from the factory, I believe it cuts in at 100psi, cuts out at 130psi. I run my lines at 100psi, and since I really don't have any high-draw air tools it's worked fine.?
?
Circling back to the 23ga nailers, I've had a Cadex (which was stolen) and my current Hitachi. Both work great, with the acknowledgement that neither nailer sank 100% of the pins. Typically, if a pin is left proud I'll nip it with a flush cutting pliers (I also consider these disposable, since cutting nails will eventually mess up the jaws), then if necessary I'll tap the surface with a hammer to seat the nub truly flush with the surface.?
?
I would suggest that if your pinner is sinking "most" of the nails, it would be in alignment with my experience running two different nailers, having driven thousands of 23ga pins.?
