Can this gun be used to build wood fences from 6' to 8' Cedar?

I wouldn't use this finish nailer the only way I would even think about using a finish nailer is if you could buy galvanized nails for it

Yes, it absolutely could be used. Just keep in mind the nails don't really have a head on them.

This is a finish nailer. You are going to want a framing nailer and use ring shank galvanized nails. Check out the bostitch f28ww

I am not completely sure. I have used it mostly for 1" plywood and smaller things. You might want a bigger gun. That being said- it is one of the best made tools that I own. Super lightweight, accurate and very well made.

Absolutely, remember to use galvanized exterior nails to prevent nail rust and wood discoloration after the fact and after some weather.

The nailer would be useful on fencework as you don't have to drag a compreessor,however bear in mind if you are nailing into any material that has"spring" the nails will not drive right home.If you are driving in 2 inch it should be ok. but you will have trouble at 3 inch

It drives 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 coil nails. The depth adjustment on the front may need to be changed slightly when attaching a softer material like cedar shingles and if that isn't enough you can also adjust your air pressure. I doubt you will have any problem with any kind of siding materials using this gun. I professionally install siding and have never had a problem with this gun. I would rate it 5 stars.

I have never done it, but if you use stainless steel staples and ensure that the pressure is correct, i.e. not driving the staple thru the cedar, there should be not problem.

It will have trouble with oak. I have seen the driver tip on the gun break as a result. You need to use a 15 gage gun

This IS a finishing nailer, just electric-powered not air-powered. It can definitely power a nail through a 3/4" fir or pine slat, which I assume your fence is. My only caveat is the nails that come with the nailer are not coated. I'm not sure if they sell stainless or aluminum nails for this gun. If not, you'll have to do a good job filling and sealing the hole so you don't get rust bleeding down your fence.

I cannot say with certainty, however I will say the fence is very versatile and quite easy to modify which is what I did rather than modify my saw. I would suspect you could make it work for your needs. Sorry for the delayed response.

You can get ambitious and attack branches 12"+ but for "normal" use you will likely want to stay under 6" (and more in the 4" and under). This thing cuts those smaller things like butter.

No, I used it for the James Hardy 3/8(?) X 8 1/4 siding, but I think it would work equally as well for the cedar siding. There is room to allow for that thickness. I was very pleased with how easy it made putting the siding go on.

The circular saw has a small slot for this fence. It should work perfectly Art

The max. cutting depth of this saw is 6 1/2 inches with the blade provided. As for steel posts, I think it was designed for timber framing wood. Abrasive cut off blade might work. Do they come in the 16 inch size?

Yes, it can cut wood up to 6 inches wide and can adjust the angles both planes for corner work.

I see no reason why not. I found larger weight ammo that will fully go through a 3/4 inch sheet of ply wood. try this link maybe. Gun can handle it well. H&N Rabbit Magnum II .177 Cal, 15.74 Grains, Cylindrical with Round Nose, Solid, 200ct

Pretty much any compressor will work with this gun. Even the little hot dog style ones. If your building an outdoor shed I would look more toward using a nail with a head on it for your exterior trim, something like a 6,7,8d galvanized common or box nail.( Box nails do tend to have a larger head than an common) This gun is definitely not suited for framing.

Short answer.... yes. This model (the 5 foot .625) is made of a nice heavy gauge steel. I use mine as a walking stick in and out of the woods with out a worry of it bending like the lighter models out there. Don't waste your time with the shorter models with extensions. They never hold up. The 5 foot is a good took with great power and accuracy.

The nail gun would work, but the brads wouldn't be strong enough. Fences can take quite a battering and be subjected to large forces (wind, earthquake, people etc). I wouldn't use 18 guage brads for this. In fact I wouldn't use finishing nails either - framing nails would be the better option and they should be galvanised or stainless.

probably not. 2 main reasons. nail head has to be held out from wall so siding can move w/expansion contraction and I don't believe the gun is capable to do that. and the nail head is too small to guarantee it will consistently hold siding in place during windy conditions
