What type of fasteners should be used with this on a laminate floor? For example, what number screw and what length? Thank you.

Is your floor installed over a concrete slab like mine is down in Tucson, AZ?I used 3M command adhesive. The strips are the perfect width to place under slide guide. No drilling.

Laminate is thin. Below the laminate is the subflooring (wood). You can probably use a #8 wood screw about 1 inch long.

If your putting down 3/4" floor, buy a air/mallet nailer. It's easier, uses cleats, and you don't have to kneel down to use it. Also, with the mallet type, the tongue and groove seams will be tighter. This stapler works great for thin floors, my was 3/8" floor with 1 1/4" staples The air/mallet I bought for the 3/4" floor was from Harbor Freight for about $120, it worked flawlessly.

Any brand will work as long as they meet the specifications for the gun .. I used cleats for the floor .. FYI this gun is not to be used on engineered or laminate floors it will split the tongue off the flooring you need a totally different gun for that ..

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.

There are 2 holes on the bottom of the safe and it comes with 2 screws. It depends on the type of floor you have, wood should be no problem, if concrete, then you will have to use a concrete bit to drill holes and use some type of concrete lag bolt....see your local hardware store. Also, I would recommend not using the screws that come with the safe. Look for stronger, and perhaps longer bolts.

Ok, this foot is for a low shank machine and you will need adapter if you do not have one like this http://www.gonesewing.com/servlet/Detail?no=2373 because this foot screws on instead of snaps on. It is good to have one depending on what feet you need that is low shank which is very popular. Hope this helped you.

I've only used it on wood. The description says laminates so you should be fine. I have been very pleased with the results. Not perfect but far better on older worn floors.

Works great on door jambs. I used it to get new flooring under the jamb. Use a scrap piece of flooring as guide to get the right height.Avoid hitting any nails, will wreck the blade.

I bought the 1 1/4" Senco Staples. Here's the link on Amazon: Senco L15BAB 18 Gauge by 1/4-inch Crown by 1-1/4-inch Length Electro Galvanized Staples (5,000 per box) . They worked great on 1/2" engineered wood floor on 3/4" osb sub floor. Not a single jam in the 3000+ used.

You can rheem out the hole to use a tapcon. I think the smallest width one would be fine. Prob. 1.5 inch screws. Maybe 2inch. Masonry bit and hammer drill.

I have the same question. I have read the reviews and a couple say they have used it on laminate floors. I would like to know for sure before purchasing one. Does anyone know for sure?

I believe the screws that come with Kreg are specifically designed for this type of joinery. They have a very corse thread. It may be possible to use other screws that have a similar shape and thread pitch, but I wouldn't use wood screws myself.

This nailer as well as all others I have used for different flooring types from 3/8" up to 3/4" have always nailed into the tongue. The bottom part of any T & G material wouldn't have enough "meat" to properly hold the material down in my opinion. This would be especially true for thinner material. Also the material below the groove is purposely milled shorter in the profile then the finished layer to allow a tight fit. I would check the installation instructions again. This stapler is made to put the staple down at an angle determined by the installed shoe through the tongue. This tool doesn't have a shoe that would work in a groove.

Those screws will work if you item uses any sort of quick connect swivel mount. As for size, you use the longest of the two you stock will allow. You simply dirll a pilot hole the right size of the screw screw it in and your ready to go. You also may want to use a small amount of glue to keep the screw more secure.

I used a bigger screw with deeper threads. I had some screws around that were designed for fastening hardy backer board to wood. The problem with these chairs is the cheap particle wood in the seats. Particle board doesn't hold small screws very well. I'm not sure I would have bought them for this job had I not had them already. There are plenty of wider screws available that would work just as well. Good luck.

You can tack anything from 1/2" to 1" 23 guage is pin nailing too light for heavier heavy work. You cannot use for flooring.
