need to shoot staples into a 3/16" wide by 1/16" deep rabbet for pool table felt. work?

Should. The tip on this gun is about 3/4 inch wide but is very narrow in the other direction. Narrowest I have ever owned. No awkward tip safety to get in the way. As with any gun, hammer extends beyond the tip. Too much pressure will blow a hole in the felt. We use this gun with knife coated 22 oz nylon and still blow through every once in a while.

If you can find staples short enough. I bought the staple gun for doing a new snowmobile seat, and stapling into a plastic mold. The staples i used that were required were 1/2" wide x 1/4" long. All I can tell you is that, I only used about 100 staples, and the gun worked well. Hope this helps.

I've used this stapler for that purpose, but you have to really watch the air pressure to make sure the staples don't blow through the plywood. We now use a 1/2" wide crown stapler for that purpose and it works much better.

It can use smaller depth staples (3/8" to 3/4" I believe is the range), but this is a heavy-duty construction-type stapler. It has the power to fire staples into wood (which sounds like you need) and is the easiest gun to use in my estimation. The mechanism works the smoothest of any gun I have used.

Your question is tougher than it appears. First, the hardened wood may pose an issue and I personally am not very impressed with this so-called "heavy duty" stapler. I would go to one of the big box stores and try out the different models and see if they make specific staples for old and hardened wood. If I had it to do over, that is what I would do myself. Good luck with your project.

Yes it will work fine. Just stay away from the Staples brand because the wire is narrower than Swingline and will jam most of the time. I use Swingline.

Not a good idea! You will damage your flooring and not get full sink on the staple which will eventually show a dimple in the next piece of wood. You also can't get the pressure you need to get the planks tight against each other.

I used Porter Cable Staples.18 GA. 1 inch.They worked great . Good Flooring Nailer.

yes, theoretically. I bought it for that, as I was installing 5/8" engineered, but this gun did not have enough power to drive the 1 1/2" staple all the way in. If you used a shorter staple, then it should work. Also, if you used a different staple (like a T or L cleat) then it should work). I ended up returning this stapler and bought a larger flooring stapler that could handle 1/2" crown staples (per flooring manuf recomm).

Also, I am using a Dewalt 200 psi compressor, so it gives plenty of push. Try it out on a piece of scrap wood first and see if you are getting the proper depth of staple set. If not you may need to get more PSI. There isn't any adjustment....so this may be your sollution to your problem.

depends on the size of cable you are using - remember the staples are a certain size that are furnished w/the stapler

I use a staple gun and staple the netting to two 1" x 2" posts. I do square foot gardening. The posts are screwed into the outside of the 8' x 4' box.

I use this gun mostly in 1/4 ply for cabinet backs. I have no problem setting the staples just below the surface. Overall, I'm very pleased with the gun, and I am very picky.

1/2 should be adequate. I would perform a test to determine the right amount of air pressure so that the staples do not over penetrate the wood ripping the fabric along with it.

Should work fine.... a great occasional homeowner stapler. Staples will be best for your application. Galvanized will stain in time. Stainless steel better.

It is a "GOOD" / "Great" stapler. But for 1/4" I would use smaller gage staples or be realistic and Glue down .Best I can do for you

Ted, I wouldn't advise it. A table saw is the safest way to rip lumber to a consistent width. Next to that a circular saw if you don't need an exact cut.

Hi Melvin, You will need at least 2 people recommended for this. If you are going to bore holes then you would need a drill. Have a great day, Michael Fitzgerald Exclusive Home & Furniture Inc.
