Hello,
I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a compressor and nailer(s), the Porter-Cable FN250C finish nailer, the BN200B brad nailer, and the pancake compressor.
I’ve never used a power nailer before. Obviously, for each different application, there may be different thicknesses and types of wood and different depth requirements, so in each case, how do you know:
how deep to set the depth adjustment on the nailer?
how much pressure to use on the compressor?
Is this just a matter of trial and error, or is there a rule of thumb to follow? Do you have to run a test on a scrap piece before you start? I don’t want to start a project only to ruin whatever I’m nailing.
Thanks,
Louis
