Will a 2in. brad nailer that operates at 60-100 PSI work with this unit, or is this SCFM too small? Thanks.Please only answer if you know for sure.

Yes it will. Absolutely. I have used it extensively with a brad nailer. Would also power a framing nailer.

Most brad nailers operate on the range you mention. This combo includes a brad nailer and that's pretty much the only thing it can power. This is really just a tire inflator with two storage tanks attached. This unit is very loud and slow to fill. There are better options for the money.

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

I don't know about all that stuff, I'm new with my nailer so I bought bostitch nails. So far I've used 2 inch and 1 1/4 both are great with no problems. If you ry them the worse case is they jam and you have to get them out, go for it!

Here is the answer from the Paslode site. As you will see, it depends upon the number of nails driven per minute. The F350S is a stick nailer not a coil nailer, so the nail magazine must be reloaded about every 75 nails. If you were nailing off flooring or decking, the rate of fire would be much higher than just building walls where the gun must be moved to a new joint location. 13. What size air compressor do I need? You can use the following formula to figure out the size air compressor you need. The Number of Tools being used X the Number of Nails each tool will drive per minute X 1.2 X the Amount of Air per Shot (SCFM) at the operating pressure. This number is found on the chart in the tool schematic and parts list provided with the nailer. For example, if you have two F-350S tools each driving 20 nails per minute with the compressor set at 90 PSI you get: 2 X 20 X 1.2 X .082 = 3.95. The compressor needs to deliver 3.95 CFM at 90 PSI. If you operate the tool at 120 PSI at the same rate the number will be higher: 2 X 20 X 1.2 X .108 = 5.2 CFM. When selecting an air compressor be aware that as the air pressure (PSI) increases, the delivery rate (CFM) goes down. Most compressors will rate the CFM at 50 PSI and at 100 PSI.

It should run a framing nailer. It has 2 ports but run one gun with it and it has decent recovery time. I use it for blowing sanders out and nailing hardwood floor patch areas mainly. I have used it for nailing large rooms as well .

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.

It definitely WILL shoot 5/8" 18 gauge brad nails. I had a variety pack of nails including 100 5/8" nails which I shot through my Wen nailer with no problems and no malfunctions. I just received an order of 5000 Dewalt 5/8" brad nails which I use to attach miniature cedar roofing shakes (made from cedar shims) to my birdhouses. Have not had any problems so far.

I think i set mine between 40-60psi. You really need an air compressor with volume...not a small pancake style meant for a nailer but a full size version.

The manual that came with the nailer says the minimum is 1 1/4 inches and the maximum is 2 1/2 inches (all 15 gauge). I have not used anything except the Hitachi 2 inch.

Hello, Thank you for writing ACME Tools. The DWFP12231 Brad Nailer is a Pneumatic tool so you will have to use an Air Compressor and a hose with the proper fittings. Other than that, this unit is very straight forward and easy to use.

Q1 - I use 3 1/4 inch (10d, I think) for framing ... works great. Q2 - This nailer is plenty good for the home DIY person and absolutely will handle your outdoor shed. Mine seems to work best at 90-95 psi. I am not sure it would hold up in production framing, but I haven't had one problem with mine. Take the time to "get to know" your nailer so that you aim straight, and don't split studs from getting too close to the edge.

Since it's a framing nailer and rarely used for continuous firing probably 2.5 cmf would be plenty, if worse came to worse you might need to let the compressor catch up every once in a while, I have a 6.2 cmf compressor and have never had a problem, I own 2 of these guns and they are well built and extremely reliable

I have not had any problems with the gun. First of all, is it turned up too high where it is actually driving the nail all the way through the wood? You may want to practice on a two by four to test the depth setting. Second of all, and this is probably a stupid question but you do have the correct brad nails in, right? I have not had any problems with mine - it worked wonderfully for me. Sorry, I wasn't any more help.

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.

I have seen simular issues with my pancake compressor, 120psi is about were its set. I bought this just to shoot my 2" nails so that's all I use it for, I would say 20 percent don't set the head deep enough, but it could be the profile also. I use a spring punch from a paint supply shop and it works wonders ! Good luck hope this helps??

I would like to try and answer this question but the question does not make sense. Are you asking about what kind of compressor you should buy to power the pin nailer?

According to the manual on porter cable's website the nailer is 2.83 cfm @ 80 psi for 100 cycles (Nails). If you had a 3 gallon air tank I would assume that would work.
