Re: How much pressure does your pin nailer require?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks Jonathan. Actually 18ga brads (less likely with 15 or 16 ga nail) can also come out the side if shot near the edge. This is much more likely if they are shot with chisel end along the grain causing the brad to follow the grain. Instead if the chisel end is perpendicular to the grain, it cuts thru the grain fiber and goes straight.

The easiest way for me to remember, the brad could bend towards either side as it sits in the magazine but not towards front or back. So nailing near an edge the nose or rear of the nailer should point to the edge. If the magazine is in line with the edge being nailed, the blowout is possible.

HTH,

Imran don't think this will be of help as my nailers are European.....but I have had a SIMES SA-F6-30 for many years. On the odd?occasion a pin wont sink if its hit a knot or some hard grain. Also if you're pinning close to the edge keep your fingers away as I've had pins hit a knot below the surface and decided to come out sideways, this is the only problem when you're using the very thin 23ga nails.
I must confess I also have the 18v Ryobi 23ga airstrike.....not used it that much so can't comment on its merits other than its a sweetheart if you're working away from the shop....my pet hate is transporting compressors!

It's the wrong color.? For Imran to upgrade doesn't it need to be a different color?

I have never had issues with my Omer PR.30 pin nailer not sinking the heads even in hardwoods.? I HAVE had issues with my Grex 21 gauge nailer sinking heads consistently.? Consider upgrading:

Hi Mike,

No I did not try that and Grex did not recommend it. It is boxed up now to go back.?

BTW, what I shared here was after it was reviewed by Grex. The smaller body is good for maybe 3/4¡± in hardwood and probably works fine in softwoods to 1 3/8¡±.

The bigger body is not that much bigger, so I prefer that solution. I am getting a pinner so I have small holes and if it can¡¯t reliably do that then it is annoying. The larger body drives 2¡± pins, so it will likely do 1 3/8¡±.

Hello Imran,
?
Have you tried ?pressing one hand down on the ¡®head¡¯, while pulling the trigger with the other??
My old Senco pinner requires this on longer pins, and especially 1 1/2¡± in hardwoods.? Extra
head mass helps overcome the recoil.? If the countersink is too shallow, I grind a 1/16¡± off the
¡¯nose¡¯ of the tool, as well as the ¡®wings¡¯ of the driver blade.? And remember, most manufacturers overestimate driving ranges on smaller air pinners/nailers..
?
When all else fails, get a larger pinner¡­..
