i am installing 8 finished cherry hardwood jamb,casing and baseboard, are the finish nails strong enough to create a clean finish for this project ?

as with any finish nail, you will have a small hole in the wood. It doesn't matter whether you hand-set or use the dewalt nailer. But the dewalt will hold securely. You will probably want to use a similar color wood filler to finish it off.

Absolutely...this nail gun is the real deal...best purchase ever. I have used it for casing, trim, baseboards, wainscoting, and other household repair jobs.

The counter sunk nail heads did rust and stain the wood that I used them in. In all fairness the lumber was fresh cut green red oak off my sawmill. Other than that issue they are excellent and a real bear to pull out which is also an excellent trait.

I've used on perfinished with no problems, I've used it on oak and maple. I'll be installing another floor next week and it's a perfinished cherry.

That's a good thing because the screws will not come loose.....just make sure it goes in straight.....the woodlike particle board is like butter...hope this helps ;)

How much do you spend on repairs and fuel cells? do the math and see if it make sense for you. There is no ongoing cost for this exept nails and it seems to work pretty good, Im sure it would preform well on solid hardwood (it will go through a formica countertop no problem and into wood below it). It's a semi precision tool and it wont take much abuse, but overall it really has alot more power than i thought it would. I'd say go for it.

Mine is Dark Walnut finish which is close to oak finish and it goes very well.

I don't have that table. I agree with the fruitwood description though. I bought the set to add seating to a mahogany table. It doesn't match the finish, but goes perfectly for size and doesn't detract. I would say the finish would complement anything from Early American to cherry to mahogany. Wish I could answer your question precisely.

I used 2" nails on 3/4" birch for cabinet making. It has enough power to drive 2" nails through solid wood... If that's what you're asking.

Hello Friend, This floor nail gun, is good for engineering flooring materials which is similar as plywood. I can call it as softwood. This gun uses 18GA staples so it is not hard/strong enough to pass thru solid hardwood materials and in a special case such as hardwood plank is bend, 18GA staples nail is not strong enough to hold the board. I recommend you use BOSTITCH MIIIFS.

The material will nail in just the same way that wood shoe molding nails...this stuff is shoe moulding, so it covers the gap between the baseboard and the flooring, and is designed to be used where the baseboard or wall is curved. It is not designed as a flat molding, and your application requires something different....like a flat transition-type molding that will bend. Radiused tile meeting radiused Pergo....you have gotten yourself into a pickle there...creative and interesting maybe, but a bummer to figure out that transition. Good luck.

My experience is yes but not without elbow grease. And it eventually leaves a nice clean feel. Had to do my mom's in two passes and had to scour and in some spots use a razor blade. Finished with rest or a finish and these 50 year old walnut cabinets look beautiful. New hardware was enough to update them.

i just used four nails but I made sure at least one side was in the studs. screws might be better but I wanted to be able to easily take it down to dust and clean it.

Yes should do fine ... I have had on both smooth and textured and even on wood paneling did ok for me.

I'd say probably not. Mine came with a dark cherrywood finish but I know there were different finishes available.

I used construction adhesive (liquid nails) and finishing nails. Worked great. Just be careful when counter sinking.

I only have bostitch and hitachi; I love them bouth the same ; I don't know about building furniture, I would think that 18 ga nails are not dsigned to hold togeter furniture, they're designed to hold finishing trim and stuff that is not structural; eather way for the performance of the gun , BUY IT WITH CONFIDANCE
