Anyone have any experience cutting 6D (2") 304 Stainless-Steel Roofing Nails, Ring-Shank Diameter - .120 (3.05mm)? Thanks

James, I haven't used mine for cutting the nails you ask about, but 304 stainless has a Rockwell B of about 90-ish, and the cutters are advertised to have a Rockwell C of 64, so from that standpoint aren't a problem. The diameter you refer to - about 1/8" - should clip easily without much effort.

This cutter has a 1/2" shank. These cutters work extremely well. I build Shaker chairs and use these to finish cut the tenons of stretchers and rails. They fit "exactly" into drilled mortises of the same size. Nice tools!

Hardie instructions say you can use a roofing nail, and that's what I'm currently doing. The big heads on roofing nails tend to get bent and you'll want to keep a hammer on your belt to fix the occasional error, but they work fine. If you're going to do a lot of fiber cement, though, get a siding gun. I highly recommend switching to a sequential trip trigger, so it only shoots one nail at a time. Bump mode will sometimes double-fire on you and that gets messy in a hurry. I got the #107582 trigger from my local service center for $3.85, but I had to pick up a spring from the hardware store to make it work properly.

The kit I purchased had three different "nose" pieces. I think one would fit a roofing nail easily. I don't know if I'd use the tool for roofing, the impact likely will leave some depression marks/damage on the surrounding shingle material that you won't get with a standard roofing nailer.

10D no problem...12D.. depends on what kind of wood.. Joining 2 2x4's no problem.. WILL NOT drive sinker nails.. overall great tool , easy to use, small size important to me as i have a very small hand,

I use the 6 gal Porter Cable from Home Depot. Works great for small projects. I wouldn't use it for rapid fire nailing. You need a bigger tank for that. I get maybe 5 shots before the compressor kicks on.

Porter Cable says:Nails 0.113"-131" (2.87-3.33 mm) diameter, papertape collated clipped head framing nailsLengths 2"-3-1/2" (50-90 mm) Angle 34ºI've been using 30º nails (by Paslode) without problems - I had 2 boxes.Great nail gun - its a hoss!

If you do a search for the Bostitch framing nailer you will see that is requires 28 deg. I ended up buying Bostitch nails just to be safe but any manufacturer that makes them in 28 deg will work.

I'm not sure why I got this question. Jim Newell said "Yes, that's about the max." Looking things up I see that #6 should be about 0.1624 inches in diameter. That's between an eighth of an inch and 3/16ths. I have the Tekton 3400, an 18-inch tool. The action-arm on this tool has "1/4 - Capacity" stamped into the metal. The 18-inch tool will handle the #6-wire. If I were planning on cutting #6 wire I would buy the larger tool.

Not sure how thick the plates were that I cut, but they cut better than anything else I have ever used for glass. I have cut mostly plates, and I'm sure they aren't 3/8" thick. Thats almost 1/2". Pretty thick for nippers. I would think a tile saw might be best for that size.

sorry about previous answer. I own a NR90AD. 30 degree 3 1/2 Paslode rounded nails should work fine. I have use 31-34 degrees clipped nails....

The description Amazon attributes to the manufacturer states: "...fires 15-gauge nails from 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch." I haven't tried anything shorter, and I'd be hesitant to do so without seeing something from Hitachi that says it's okay. I've been fortunate enough to have an 18 gauge brad nailer/stapler (Senco) that has handled everything I've asked of it. If I'm using only a 1" fastener, 18 gauge is normally sufficient. If not, spacing them a little more closely should make up the difference in shear strength, IMHO. In most cases, I'd probably just use a 1-1/4" 15 gauge nail (if I had some handy), rather than getting out the other tool. I can see where that wouldn't always work, but as I said, the lighter gauge fasteners should normally work for applications using material so light as to preclude use of the longer ones. I didn't look. Do the other brands' 15 gauge finish nailers handle shorter nails?

Yes, I nailed about 4 square this past summer with 15 degree nails. No problems at all.

I bought the stuff for my wife. She has no experience in using it on the type of nails you describe.Sorry

We installed 500mm(~19 3/4 inch) tile, and as long as scoring pressure was constant, the cuts were very clean. Diagonal cuts will likely depend on the angle. The only cuts I found troublesome were ones where I was trying to trim less than an inch.

Yes, the TSHD will cut corrugated roofing material very well. Getting the long jaw model really helps. In fact I could'nt get a easy clean cut with the short cutting jaws.

I think 4" tubing should be OK. I haven't cut anything except 2 3/8" drill stem but it looks like your tubing should work. I measured it right now and it does appear that it will be fine up to about 5 or 6 inch but, like I said, I have not tried cutting that size yet but I'm pretty sure it will work.
