Questions & Answers
I don't think hardie trimming is for you. I used this coil nailer for hardie siding and not for trimming to create a unified look. Stainless steel or galvanized finish nails are best for attaching the trim. Use a finish nailer that will reach 3 inches or 2 1/2 inches. It is mandatory to use these types only with Hardie They will corrode *br>You need a finish nailer to prevent this
Some times I have to angle the nail a little to prevent it from going into the fiber cement board too deeply
For coil sets of 15 to 20 mm, N66C is recommended An assortment of materials, including wood shingles, insulation and fiber-cement shingles, can be welded and nailed with 60-degree wires or plastic rivets Cement boards, soft woods, drywall, sheathing, and even steel siding can be used. It uses fasteners ranging from 1 to 12 A quarter to a two The length of this sentence is about half an inch.
Make sure the pressure is raised if necessary.

There is a nail every five inches on siding. Despite its impressive features, this tool cannot drive siding nails effectively. Bostitch 2 1/2" ring shank siding nails are being used at 110 PSI at the maximum depth, yet over half of the nails are sticking out of the wall by more than half an inch (or more). The Douglas Fir I'm attaching 7/16ths OSB to is kiln dried, so it is a prepared surface to accept I still have to finish most of the nails with a hammer, even when I lean on the gun to prevent any recoil. (Added 1 star after quite a bit of use)
** Updated after quite a bit of use In the past few hours I've nailed Hardie Plank siding to the same structure using 500 1 3/4 inch ring shank nails So for example, 5/16 Hardie Plank, 1/2 OSB, KD Doug Fir studs would be perfect. We bought this gun and it worked great as long as you drove nails no longer than 2 inches. They did stretch a little bit when they said it could drive siding nails up to 2 1/2 inches. The gun appears to be in excellent condition nails advance along the line properly, and the trigger properly works (sequential). In order to drive a nail into wood, there is just not enough power behind the gun.
On the exterior of my house, there was a medium sized area of water damage to be repaired. The siding on my house is cedar shingles. As I plan to replace shingles all over my yard and to work on other projects (a fence rebuild and a shed) I decided I wanted to invest in a siding nailer to replace all my siding. I am a homeowner and DIYer, so I did not want to spend too much on something I would not use. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for when you buy most things, but not all things. The first time I tried to look for a used siding nailer, I found they were hard to locate. It was then clear that "new" was the only option. I compared a few different brands and chose the one I liked best.
This nail gun was easy to load, and it was easy to adjust the force needed to drive 2" galvanized nails into 1/2" OSB sheathing. The nails were successfully positioned to the perfect depth every time. With its two triggers, the gun comes with a black "bump fire" trigger as well as a gray sequential fire trigger that can be easily swapped out for the bump fire one When it's important to have accuracy, I find that the default black trigger works quite well. This is because I can still place the gun exactly where I want it, and I can fire one shot. There have been reports that the bump fire trigger can fire two nails in the same place if it is not allowed to recoil slightly, but I haven't experienced that, so I probably will I can still bump with my friends that way The weapon should be used when speed and accuracy are not as important. This is a gun that I would recommend to anyone who needs a medium-caliber one This is a framing nailer with a maximum capacity of two nails The nails are 1/2 inch coiled. Sheathing, fences, and siding, as well as fiber cement products like Hardie Board, are some of its best applications.
It is wonderful to be with you There was no traffic jam in any way The siding is great for installing fiber cement siding 5/16 inches - I'm using it for siding attachment from an electrical box - To adjust the depth of the nails, I do suggest that you should try it before nailing into the wall - try adjusting the depth of the nails before nailing into the wall. Put it on a piece of fiber cement and see what happens An adjusting strip for furs A OSB and a 2/4 are used.
During my fence building project, I used a nail gun to make the project much shorter. It worked well, although some people have said that it can shoot double or even triple shots. As I have discovered, it does have that capability. If you make sure to hold the firearm tightly, it will not be an issue. If the gun continues to cause problems, I believe that there is a way to change the mode to single shots. 2" by 0" Bostitch is the material I used. A total of 090 galvanized nails were used, and there was no jamming. I also found loading the coil of nails to be very simple. As a result, the gun does not come with nails or nipple air fittings. Ensure that both are obtained.
As I already own six other Bostitch nailers, I was extremely happy with those, which is why I chose this one. As for adjusting the depth of the nail drive, this N66C tends to have a mind of its own. When my contractor installed siding on the wood shop, he used my nails because his had broken, and no matter how the nailer was adjusted, it would always leave a quarter inch of nail exposed after the nail was driven In the summer, I changed siding on my shed, and this time no matter how the nailer was adjusted, it either drove the nail in too deeply or too shallowly.
