What air pressurer does it work at, esp. the 2 1/5 nail.

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 operated it at 90 psi and had no problems..not sure what manual reads do not have time to look it up

This is a finished nailer I did use with air compressor small size 1-stage, 2 cylinder @ 90 psi.you can start with this or more power (higher psi)

The hose will attach to the AF505 (the hose's female fitting matches to the nailer's male fitting); however, attaching the hose to the compressor will depend upon what the fitting is on the compressor for attaching the hose--I had to purchase a fitting for the compressor that matched to the hose.

I have used this Porter Cable pin nailer with psi below 100. (Range is 70 psi min. & 100 psi max) I have driven 1/2", 3/4" & 1" pins at 80 psi. It is a wonderful tool and I reccommend it highly.

I just used it with a 1/2 impact wrench today to rotate tires, worked great! Don't expect to open a tire shop with it, but for occasional use it's more than adequit. I set the output pressure up to 120 PSI to get the most out of my impact gun.

Manufacturer's usually state that the PSI should be between 80-120 PSI in almost all nail guns. I usually have my compressor set not to go below 90 PSI. A lot depends on the gun and what you are nailing into. The harder woods sometimes it is nice to bump up the PSI to 100+ and not let it go below that.

Yes it will I use it as well on my 1.5hp air compressor. This little guy is great, no issues.

I borrowed one to do a roof repair and it did leak air when I depressed the trigger halfway but I liked the fact that it hardly missfired or jammed like some of the other nailers I've used so I bought one a couple of weeks later and it also does the same thing when I depress the trigger halfway down, I use the bump fire feature so I hardly notice the air leak.

Tools using continuous air, or blowing, I don't think it would maintain enough pressure. Works great for nail guns, pumping up tires.

I have been using the porter Cable Fr350b with 2 1/4" & 3 1/2" nails mated to the Porter Cable Pancake compressor for a couple of months. This combination works great. I am using 80 psi with the 2 1/4" nails, & 95 psi with the 3 1/2" nails. Buy it! you will love it. Jim McIntosh

This unit doesn't deliver a large volume of air continuously. The maximum air pressure is about 128 psi. Pressure is great for my nailer which requires high pressure at a low average delivery volume. With several pump-ups and releases into your RV system it will probably do the job.

It works just fine. I like the long tip for getting into small spaces (i.e. computer parts). As far as preasure, i use it with a small compressor that can only put out 125 PSI so I am not sure what the maximum pressure could be.

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 have been using a Porter-Cable C1010 portable air compressor withthis NuMax nailer. The compressor works fine so far. It is available for $100 on Amazon.com, a price that is even cheaper than what I paid a few years ago.

If this is the 18ga nailer, then 1"-2" is what I usually use. You might get 5/8" or 3/4" also.

It really depends on how you're using it. If you're intermittently nailing with in and not imitating a machine gun- you can use a pancake or similar small compressor. The working pressure of the nailer is 70-115 PSI. I run mine at 100 PSI. Any portable compressor should be able to hit that pressure. The real question is duty cycle. If you're nailing every few seconds then you'll need a compressor capable of keeping up with the volume of air being consumed OR you'll have to slow down until your compressor stops running before firing the next nail. I run mine on 2 different compressors and don't have any issues- one is a 40 gallon shop compressor- the CFM is infinite compared to the gun. The other compressor is 2.6 CFM. I don't rapid fire when I'm using it and I can fire several nails before the compressor has to cycle. As long as you're not continuing to fire when the compressor is running you should be OK.

a small compressor work just fine I set at 80 psi to set a 5/8 pin in 1/2 oak. and 90 for 3/4 inch in oak....

1.5" nails will not work with this gun. You need a positive placement gun for the hanger nails. The only framing nailer I know of that also does 1.5" positive placement nails is the Bostitch:BOSTITCH F21PL Round Head 1-1/2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer with Positive Placement Tip and Magnesium Housing
