It will operate between 80 and 120 psi, when it gets down to about 90 I will turn the compressor on and let it pump up to 120. It seems to drive the nail in better.

This nailer only shoots 15.5 or 16 gauge nails. I used 16 gauge nails to install my 5/8 bamboo. Worked great.

Consider that, 18 gauge nails are very thin, they can not carry heavy constructive elements as screws do. You can not really built with them furniture. But they are good for wainscoting (together with glue), attaching crown moldings, baseboards and temporary joints. I bought this particular gun only because I do a lot wainscot and not planning to buy air compressor (have no extra space for it). Besides, this gun does great job and is friendly in use. Another point: sometimes is money save to buy air compressor and few air activated tools, such as nailgun, sender, paint gun, because this range of tools is much more cheeper. Good luck!

Hello, I use my nailer with a portable oil lube compressor. It is an electric 1 HP 3Gallon portable unit that can produce max 135psi. It is rated as 3.7 scfm of pressure @ 40 psi and 2.4 scfm @90 psi. That's plenty of pressure to do the job. We set the compressor at about 80 psi setting and it works fine.

I can only answer this from knowing the FC350B. It';s an excellent nailer to date and I'm quite satisfied with it. It's easy to get nails and it doesn't jam. As a first it's worth getting.

I do not see it on the nail gun or the info book , but go online to www.freemantools.com or call 1-888-669-5672, It is a great tool for the price, I have installed over 2000sq ft. of flooring with no problem or jambs , a few miss-fires so always use a little magnetic stud finder to make sure you are getting the proper amount of nails installed

Bosch's manual for the FNS138-23 (page 11) gives a formula for calculating the CFM. Then, as an example, state:One nail per second @100 psi requires 1.1CFM. It varies linearly with nails/sec..

I do not know the answer. I purchased a smaller nailer to handle the finer work..

You would need portable air compressor to operate this nailer. Pneumatic means gas, air is a gas. No batteries here.

Sorry to say that I had the same trouble with mine. I ran the pressure up to 110 and it started to drive the nails. Just to add I thought this gun would shoot staples but only pin nails. Wish I had better news for you.

well I think 4scfm is very little to run will run but not to the full power of the gun the one I own run in a 100 gallons and about 14 scfm and you need to be careful not to break the bolts I think you be fine for small jobs ..ps have a great day. ..

Depends on use. For occasional use this is great. Handles all nail drivers. Would not keep up with a commercial operation. Need a larger tank for that. Maintains pressure well for home projects.

Yes, you can set the gun to fire 1 nail at a timeNo, there is no guide for nail placementIts been a great siding nail gun

The manual requires 80 - 100 psi. I am running this on a large compressor, but I see no reason why the tank you are looking at wouldn't work. My BOSTITCH PN50 Mini Impact Nailer can drive a 3-1/2" hot dipped deck framing nail into a 6"x6" post in less than 2 seconds. Don't know how I got along without it.

Small tool only, like a brad nailer. You should be able to look up the owner manual and compare volume & pressure outputs with the requirements of the tool(s) you have or are looking at getting. In my experience, any thing bigger than a brad nailer and you'll be waiting 2-3 min between nails, &/or not have enough power to drive a nail into anything harder than pine.

The Gallon Capacity Of The Compressor Is Irrelevant. What You Really Need To Consider Is The Air Supply Rate. The Manual Specifies That At 100 Nails Per Minute You Need To Supply 8.7 CFM. At 50 Nails Per Minute, Then Half That Air Rate.

I don't know, but it is not much. It only uses a bit of air when the gun fires and I had it on a pancake compressor. A small compressor is plenty for this tool. If you are wondering about psi rather than cfm, then 90 psi will run it fine.
