Can this compressor be used for hardwood floor nailing?

It has a max operating pressure of 140 psi. You will need to look at your nail gun and see what it's operating Pressure Is. You won't be able to use the brad nailer that come with it as it is not designed to nail flooring.

I used it to nail a lot of things. The problem I had is it caught on fire, good thing I was working in the carport. Would not recommend for long use. Oh, and only had it about 8 months.

I don't believe so - I purchased only for the purpose of nailing. You might be able to purchase a spray gun accessories that could be connected to the air compressor hose but I wouldn't know anything about that.

I have this 18-Gauge pneumatic nail gun and I've used a 3 gallon air compressor without any issue. I believe as long as you can achieve 80psi you should be fine, I have my compressor set to 80psi and I'm able to bury 2 inch nails with no problem.

Hello, I use my nailer with a portable oil lube compressor. It is an electric 1 HP 3Gallon portable unit that can produce max 135psi. It is rated as 3.7 scfm of pressure @ 40 psi and 2.4 scfm @90 psi. That's plenty of pressure to do the job. We set the compressor at about 80 psi setting and it works fine.

I used it for 1/2" bellawood engineered flooring which is a laminated product multiple layers of fine plywood and an approximately an 1/8" of top layer of oak. it nailed thru the plywood. the tool is not suited for flooring thicker then 5/8". If your intent on using staples then the MIIIFS is better or a standard cleat nailer will work. avoidputting the cleats too close to the end of the board.

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

Yes, perfect for any nailer or stapler. Was a great purchase. Its kinda loud, but compressor only runs about every 30-40 nails I shoot. I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I bought it to install trim and moulding.

Hi - Really, any compressor will do from a pancake to a double tank beast. The gun uses very little flow per cycle and operating pressure [more important] averages out to be about 110 psi for best results. If you cycle the gun very quickly a lower flow rate will tell but I doubt it will be important for your work. This is the best pin nailer I have used to date and has a multitude of uses for fine work and repairing such things as fractured clapboards and split furniture also ... molding goes up and the holes are just about nonexistent. Have fun with it - DB

I don't know the specific requirements for the compressor. I use my nailer with a small 6 gallon Porter-Cable portable air compressor and it works great. This is an excellent tool that has given me good service. I hope this helps.

It will but it is going to recycle allot, maybe after every 2 or 3 shots. Nail penetration will depend on what kind of wood. Oak is denser than pine. A 3 gal compressor would work better and drive longer and thicker nails but for small jobs and infrequent use it will do You could also check out Harbor Freight.

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

Yes. The compressor takes the standard hose adapters for pneumatic tools, spray guns, tire inflators etc. Most nailers do not consume that much air anyway.

My small (6 gallon)compressor has plenty of power. I set the pressure to between 80 and 100lb. I operate everything from this tool to brad nailers to my big framing hammer...I shoot a lot of nails and brads...framing, laying sub-flooring, laying hardwood floor and trim work/base board etc..

Yes. If the material is particle board adjust the depth on the nailer so the nail just penetrates the surface.

I had no problem nailing that thick a wood on my floor molding. I would suggest using the longer nail.

This listing is for a compressor and "brad nailer". The brad nailer will only accept brad nails, it will not accept staples of any kind.
