Would this work for a flooring nailer?

it should work fine I got mine about 4 months ago and it works great. it pumps air fast and has two outlets forair hammers and other air tools. I think it would work great. I have not tried it I use it in my motorcycle garage and amvery pleased with it. I had two harbor freight compressors and this one is very much stronger than them

YES and NO: IF you are one of those professional-type cartinters and nail, nail, nail, nail, nail---this compressor can't keep up the air p.s.i. and will soon jam.IF you are like me (slow) my glasses slip, can't see, ooops I'm out of nails: this compressor might work for me (old & slow). If I were you I'd get the next step up compressssssssssssor to be sure you have enoughvolume 20 gallon tank; and enough air pressure 90 psi steady. Be sure to use H.D. 10 AWG or 8 AWG wire so you don't overload your compressor - too much resistance can lead to fire, melted stuff and your compressor melting down. Harbor Freight used to have a smaller two tank air compressor (two tanks will keep it from rolling off the building.)

We are using BOSTITCH FLN-200 2-Inch Flooring L-Nail for ¾ engineered hardwood. That is the recommended size for this wood and the nailer is putting it into the floor no problem.

yes. It is intended for tiling. It has the nail flange suitable for installing backer board and tile over.

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.

Yes it will, but the heads are a tad smaller than normal, so it will cause a jam about 3 times per strip!!!! Buy SENCO it will shoot 6000 nails and NEVER jam. This Makita brad nailer is the best in the industry, not to mention it's soooo pretty

Actually this was my first nail gun and I haven't even used it yet. it takes a decent size nail. So I believe it should be ok for your needs, maybe first look at the nail to judge for yourself. I wish I could be of more help but perhaps google it for more definitive answer

I bought mine to put ring shank nails into hardi plank siding since this is a siding nailer. I would think it would work just fine on subflooring. It has an automatic firing mode and a trigger mode. It's been a great nailer for me. I have had no problems with misfires.

This is a finished nailer I did use with air compressor small size 1-stage, 2 cylinder @ 90 psi.you can start with this or more power (higher psi)

Yes it has plenty of power for a floor nailer we used it for a roof nailer and it was fine.
172821
no it is not recomended for this because it is too big either you can damage the gun or the head of the nail would not be well hammered i boutgh these on amazon Freeman FN18L150 18-Gauge Cleatsor found them in Home Depotyou can try if you want but it would be your decision good luck

This nailer came with three interchangeable base plates, one of which is labeled for 3/8 flooring. I have used it on 1/2 inch bamboo and 3/4 inch mahogany porch flooring, switching bases each time. In both cases it worked very well.

It might but I haven't used mine for that. You might consider buying, renting or borrowing a flooring nailer/stapler; there are cheap ones for about the same price. I bought this stapler to install 1X6 pine t&g; carsiding to wall and ceiling framing with 2" staples and 1/2" wainscoting to wall furring with 1 1/2" staples.

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

Yes. I use it with a small Bosch oiless pancake compressor. Terrific nailer. Vinyl siding adapter available

This is a GREAT finish nailer; I would not use this to nail 3/4" stock (1x4-1x6 lumber). It is good for a decorative lattice at the top;). 1x4 or 1x6, or even 1x8 will 'cup' as they say, therfore due to cupping you need a nail/screw with a large 'head' ( 6 penny common galvanized at least). You could use this Wen to 'tack' your pieces (and then use larger nails or screws later). ;)

Not made for that!!I love this gun , good for small projects..When you dont want to pull out compressor..I try to install 400' of crown molding once and stooed to set the nails right..Wood floor is much harder and it will not work..
