Regarding "Nice Gun but short on firing 2 inch nails": Were the air supply pressure and depth adjustment maxed out? What was the air supply press?

Mine fires two-inch nails perfectly. No problems. You might want to contact Senco, see what they advise.

I have seen simular issues with my pancake compressor, 120psi is about were its set. I bought this just to shoot my 2" nails so that's all I use it for, I would say 20 percent don't set the head deep enough, but it could be the profile also. I use a spring punch from a paint supply shop and it works wonders ! Good luck hope this helps??

I didn't have problems with mine. I normally run 90 psi and I don't think my depth was maxed. If your running a long line or small hose you might be starving the gun.

My air pressure is set at around 100psi.I don't think I had to change any settings between sizes!Another thing to consider---I NEVER had any luck using one of those pancake compressors---you gotta go back to the old-fashioned motor belt driven compressors.

Sorry for the delayed response. This particular gun shoots plastic, non-clipped nails.

It could be a few things. Could you describe what is happening in more detail? After how many nails, what nails are you using, what are you driving it into, what psi is the compressor at when it happens, is the line to the nailgun monitored for pressure? what psi is that line at? are you depressing fully or is it an awkward spot when it happens?My first guess would be pressure, is there a leak around your fitting on the gun? is the fitting teflon taped? does the problem only happen at the end of the nail cartridge?

The pressure comes from the correct compressor cfm not the gunFrom the photo the cup looks like it's. 28ozTo spray latex it needs the appropriate tip and paint will need to be reduced - need to refer to paint recommendation

Any 150 psi like harbor freight 3 gal and up . As low as 50.00. Porter Campbell another example. Good framing gun. Lightweight, and strong.My old. Nailer came with the compressor set by Porter Campbell but finally quit and became unsafe to use. Love the new one.

I'm not sure, however, I get phenomenal results spraying at 25 cfm with very little product used. The gun don't seem to like the higher pressure as my previous spray gun did.

The nails used in this gun are straight and don't have a large head on them. They aren't standard nails. The ones it uses are BOSTITCH BT1309B 1-Inch 18-Gauge Brads, 3000 per Box as you can tell the head is barely there.

Ability: Skilled Homeowner. I have my compressor setpoint at 120 off / 100 on. I have nailed standard pine trim into pine door jams using 2 1/2" angled finish nails at as low as 80 psi on my tank regulator, including 100 ft of 3/8 hose without a problem. I suppose it also depends on the wood type you are using. As for the nailer, I have not had a single problem with it. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and super smooth action. Wishing I would have bought one long ago . . .

i have 10 cfm at 90 psi i shoot no problem and 25 psi at the gun if you have a large tank you could paint with a 6 or above cfm at 90 psi

It will go up to 21/2 inch and your nails are coil nails you should be good. It does have adjustments for the height of the nail. Very good gun. Never jams.

I have been using my framing gun 3 days out of the week as I continue to remodel my house. I have used the 15 gauge and 18 gauge guns just as much without any problems. I don't know if it's related to the setup and continuos maintenance but I have a filter on the compressor and use the air tool oil. I never exceed 120 psi on my framing gun and I adjust to 75 to 90 for the other guns. I continue to have good service from these tools.

I had a Mossberg.. 410 not predrilled. Never tapped before, Screwed it up, Lol, pardon the pun. Should have taken it to a Smith or somebody who knew how to tap. Also, used a hand-held drill. Bad move. Probably done better in vise and drill press

Adjust your flow knob. Also crank it up. I spray around 35-40 psi depending on the solution. When you set your psi are you watching what happens to the gage after you pull the trigger. My often drops and I have to readjust the pressure. Hope this helps.

It doesn't matter. Bostitch framing nailers suck. They double fire nails a lot. How do I know? If I could, I'd post up the X-ray of a 3 inch nail that nailed my hand to a deck joist. I knew these guns suck, and kept my hand about 6 inches away as I held a 2x4 block I was nailing in place. The gun kicked back and the second nail went through my middle finger . Ironic. That's what I think of Bostitch.

Yes, in the sense that there is a pressure sensor on the tip which must be depressed (as in pushed into/onto on the surface being nailed/stapled) before the trigger will allow the air pressure to shoot a nail/staple. The amount of travel in the pressure sensor is approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inches. It is impossible (seemingly) to "shoot" a nail/staple without pressing the tip against a solid object. I guess you could intentionally use a finger to depress the sensor and then have the unit "shoot", but otherwise its pretty foolproof. Obviously not intended for use by children. All of the guns included use the same system.

You will need 5 cfm and 125 psi for it to work correctly depends how fast you nail and at what elevation you live at I live at 9000 ft so I need more psi and more cfm . Super tough gun if you have over 125 that is ok just adjust the nose .

After 10 pumps the increase in pressure achieved is minimal and more likeley to damage this gun. If I really wanted more velocity and power I would look to do the various mods available for this gun. Just do some research.
