I have this brad nailer, can I adjust the depth of the nail on this model?

Sorry for my delay in responding. Yes, you can adjust the depth a brad sets. There is an adjustment wheel just below the trigger and an illustration on the side id the gun of the effect of turning this wheel. I hope this helps.

To adjust the drive-in depth of a nail, loosen the screw that secures the nose/tip (their are two screws). If the nail is driven in deeply, adjust the nose up, if driven in shallowly adjust the nose down. Tighten the two (2) screws and test.

Let me start by saying it is what it is, its a 1 gallon compressor. I have a Dewalt 15 gauge, 25 ft 3/8" hose, I can typically shoot about 6-8 nails before it kicks on. If your brad nailer is 18 or 20 gauge I think you'll be fine with 10 - 20. I don't use compressors often enough to even guess at 50 feet, but 25 works well enough for me. Good luck!

This soinds loke a trick question. Let me ask this, is your base board 3" thick or does it stand 3" tall & is 3/4" thick? If it's 3/4" thick, a 2 1/2" brad will work & this nailer will shoot them well!

Yes. The fixed base has a micrometer adjustment, which is a vernier type adjustment knob that can be adjusted in readable increments of 1/64". When mounted under a router table the adjustment knob can be accessed and turned with a adjustment key (an allen wrench screw, wrench with handle included) through a hole in the table. Your particular table most probably won't have the hole pre-drilled, so you will have to drill the hole yourself, which shouldn't be a big deal. Personally, I don't use the above table adjustment, because I want to be able to read the depth graduations on the dial as I make height adjustments. When I mount my router onto the table using it's base I always position the adjustment dial toward the front so that I can read the adjustments as I make them. I saw the other answer to your question where the author mentioned that a router used in a table should be at least 3HP. I disagree with this comment unless you are doing professional work and are using the router continuously. I've have gotten consistently good results while using this router at less than full speed as designated for rail and stile bit sets that I use. If you would be cutting into a hard wood like oak, you may not want to try to make a full depth cut on the first pass. I prefer to may multiple cuts through the depth of the cut with a final one removing no more than 10-15% of the total material being removed. This ensures that by taking a small cut as the last cut that you minimize bit chatter, hang-up and breakout, and that your results are smooth and consistent.

Yes. Try a test piece first. Usually at the start or finish are areas that that have to be face nailed and holes puttied. Thisis a good choice as the nail has a small profile. If you can hide the nail do so, maybe under trim. Downside is air nails are hard to nail set deeper, so test to see depth set. Steve

No, the nailer has no adjustments, but it seems to sense the wood density and countersink the pinhead just perfect. To get to different depths you use different lengths of pins. I have several sizes from 1/2" to 1-3/8". If you cut back on the air compression, it will leave the pinhead sticking out.

I don't think so. The head of the nail would have to be less then about 3/8" Dia. to fit into the small hole in the nailer.

You can adjust the amount of pressure put into nailing each nail. But it takes up to 2" nails and puts them into the wood in the perfect depth or just a little bit deeper or just leaves the head of the nail out based on the pressure you set it at. If that makes any sense.

Absolutely. All you need to do is adjust the height of the foot (the difference between the sub-floor and the new floor board). This is an 18 gauge L cleat Hardwood Nailer, and it can do floors of any thickness. You will also need to get a feel for the right air pressure. I used mine at 95-100 for L clears. For the boards that are close to the wall, I used straight nailer, and the pressure for that was 110. The pressure you used depends on the thickness and harness of your new floor. Mine was 3/4' Brazilian Cherry. I hope this helps! :)

I just used 5/8" brad nail by accident and they worked fine. I didn't even realize it till after. I only used about 8 though. I would still like to see what Wen says.

I put 1 1/4 inch nails in the finish nailer and they did not fit correctly. Ended up jamming the nailer.

Depth can be adjusted by either air pressure or the little nose guide on the tool itself. The nose guide does not need tools to adjust, it is very very simple, on handed adjustment. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM YOUR AIR SOURCE BEFORE ADJUSTING THE NOSE PIECE. (I'm sure you know already, but just sayin)

The depth of penetration is tool free adjustable on the N66C-1. Turn the knurled/rotating element near the trigger in either direction to lessen/increase the depth of penetration. There is no 'ideal' setting as amount of air pressure & density of wood will affect your result.

Yes, it can be adjusted. The adjustment isn't as precise as more expensive units. I replaced my Brinkman with a Bayou Classic and was much more satisfied with its durability and ease of adjustment.

You can NOT adjust the width. The only way to do this is to use a diff. cutter. The depth MAY be somewhat adjusted by inserting the blade less or further. Adjustment this way is affective. GREAT little tool though!!

yes you can adjust it some...you just tighten the screw/ring where you want it
