Does this have enough power to file thick nails down?

yes. any more power and it would tear through your skin if you slipped off your nail.

I wouldnt. Nails are very thin. It will hold it in place but you need thicker nails that would come out of a gas powered gun. This is more for crown molding.
2083615
yes, but you may get just a couple of nails out before it won't work, not enough air tank space. need more tank mass for this.

I am certain it will. I have cut through some high tensile heavy duty decking nails and fasteners that are much thicker. You must remember that it is a vibration action tool so hold your workpiece well.

Yes. It has the speed adjutment and power needed. I use it more for cutting steel than wood. Designed more for serious DIYer than commercial use, however.

I would think that this NuMax or a brad nailer could do the job. The Numax shoots a small headless nail and it is difficult, if not impossible to see the entry point. I have used it for attaching end skins to cabinets and one certainly doesn't want to see nail entry points on the side of cabinets. The type of work you describe, arts and crafts, probably would require the same characteristics, no visible nails. The thickness of the wood certainly is a factor to consider. This Numax supports a nail up to one inch limiting the size.

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.

I use it with a nail gun and it works fine. The compressor starts up to replenish air quite often but it is really quiet. I like it.

The finish nailer has enough power but I don't think that the nail head would be sufficient for framing... Porter cable model #FC350B might be more capable for what you're looking to do.

It does and will file down your Mothers' nails but, unless you use it at such a very low speed, you could very well cut or burn her and I wouldn't want to take a chance using this on her and hurt her. So, what I would recommend to use instead is Professional Nail files, zebra file emery board 100/100 grit pack of 10, to file her nails down either by themselves or in addition to using clippers.

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

It can do it but if you will be making frequent holes of this caliber i would suggest a Milwaukie hammer drill. But these do everything I need except drill through concrete slabs.

Well, I assume you mean can you file nails with it. Yes, I have turned the rpm's down low and used it with a sanding band on my Staffordshire Terriers. It is bulkier than the small Craftsman cordless Dremel tool I bought years ago to use on my Wire Haired Terriers. If all you want to do is file nails, I would go with that size tool, not this one. This is the size of a small soda bottle. The one good thing about this over the Craftsman is the ability to control the rpm's. When the rpm's are too high, they make the nail get hot really fast and that's not only painful for the dog, but they get really nasty about having their nails filed in the future. I know from experience. :-( Well, I assume you mean can you file nails with it. Yes, I have turned the rpm's down low and used it with a sanding band on my Staffordshire Terriers.

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.

This nailer will shoot 3-1/2" framing nails like a boss but I've even used it for cement board siding which can be quite delicate. So yes, it's adjustable and you'll be able use it for the project you listed.

The largest is slightly less than 1/8th of an inch thick, the smallest is about 1/16th. I have had no problem filing under the nail

I bought nails on Amazon to go with it for cheap. And I'm pretty sure it would work for building a deck we used it with treated lumber to make 3 garden boxes and a sandbox with lid and it was great. Hope this helps
