Re: How much pressure does your pin nailer require?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Mike,Thanks, this is very helpful. One thing is clear with all responses and my own experience that the pin nailer is no different than other nailers and should not require more that 100 PSI. So I am going to stop worrying about the compressor side of the equation. It however did reveal that the cut-out had drifted by 5 PSI which is now fixed ? Since I was pinning the stiles in the middle of the rail tenon, ¡°shiners¡± was not a concern. I am assuming you just added it as a precaution and nailing with chisel end along the grain (which I sometimes did do due to the clamps being in the way) is not a contributing factor for the partially driven pins.? I will be back in shop on Monday and see what I can do with the beveling of the driver blade advice. Is the bevel on the tip (end) or the back side of the driver?

Try holding the triggers down (without nails) and see how long the driver blade extends. If it
extends 1/8¡± or so, you can put a slight bevel to the driver blade ¡®back to front¡¯ which tends to solve the problem. ?I do this to all our nailers/staplers. ?To avoid ¡®shiners¡¯ turn the tool 90 degrees so the
nail cuts across the wood grain.

Back when I worked for Senco, we rarely ran tools over 95 psi as it increased repairs, and in
those days we drove our van to the job site, and did it for free¡
