I would like to try and answer this question but the question does not make sense. Are you asking about what kind of compressor you should buy to power the pin nailer?

I guess you are asking about a air compressor. The nail gun uses very little air, but you need to keep the pressure at 90 psi. Many of the new compressors run at 125 or higher. This is good because the regulator will keep it at 90psi. That will keep nails at a consistant depth. Oilless are less maintenance, but are louder and wont last as long.

Well you might want the PS130 as it has the Hammer Drill feature used in concrete. Impact rate from 0-19,500.Sorry earlier post said PS131 but I ment PS130.

I run mine At 90 psi or less. A small compressor is perfect for this nailer. The pin nails are small and hold well. I use it for finish work on small items and to hold items when I am gluing.

Great gun....ran 100's of nails through it on a shed project and not one jam. I have a Campbell-Hausfeld 4 gal 2 hp pancake compressor (bought at Sams several years ago), which has a max 140 psi. Depending on the softness of the wood and size of nail, I used in between 80-100 psi. Of course the gun has an adjustment on the front for depth, also. As with any gun, don't forget to give it a few drops of oil every once in a while. I recommend it. Phil Layne

A smaller compressor would work, but if you need tons power at least a 19cfm compressor. I would recommend the aircat gun, am not too happy with the CP7748.

My nailer is in my shed so I don't have that specific information right now. I will tell you that I have a Porter-Cable PCFP12236, which is designed to operate at or under 150psi that I used my nailer with. I built an entire 8x8x8 wood garden shed, and currently building a 10x15 wood storage shed, and I have had NO problems. I love this framing nailer. I bought a box of 2,000 Freeman framing nails to use with it. The reviews for the nails said you should use it in a Freeman gun. I took the chance, and like I said, I completed my first project and on to the next one and have not had any jamming problems, or any other issues. I hope this helps. Good luck.

The brand of nails does not matter. Any straight 18 ga. 5/8" to 2" should work. Others might have experience with a specific brand. The manufacturer provides some generic brand ones they deem are acceptable.

I think i set mine between 40-60psi. You really need an air compressor with volume...not a small pancake style meant for a nailer but a full size version.

Quick answer is "yes" as long the air pressure the gun need is less than 150 psi. However, depends on the size of the nail-brad gauge and requirement of pressure of the gun, you may need a larger & stronger compressor. My 20 gauge nail gun is not porter cable one but the compressor works just fine with it. Actually, brand of the nail gun & compressor doesn't matter at all. All you need to concern is a required air pressure.

I purchased the nails from a local supplier. The gun uses standard nails. I'm sure Home Depot or Lowes carries the nails for this type of nail gun.

Good luck. Send it back to Amazon. I did after a month or so and paid a restocking fee. Get a real gun. I now have a Porta-Nails 470A, that replaced the Porter Cable nailer that replaced the Akuzuki nailer.

I have used the nails in the assortment at http://www.amazon.com/P6-MP-3-Gauge-Multi-Pack-Headless/dp/B0012BV21W/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y The 1/2" seems to work without any problems.

I have used the nails in the assortment at GREX P6/MP-3 23 Gauge Multi-Pack Headless Pins (3,000 per box) The 1/2" seems to work without any problems.

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

Any air compressor that will provide 100 PSI will work. The Porter Cable 'paddy pan' compressors, commonly carried in Home Depot & other big box stores are portable & reasonably priced.

yes grex,porter cable,candex and others they all work well with the bosch pin nailer.

You need a compressor that provides 80 - 100 psi. I would recommend a Porter Cable pancake compressor or something similar.
