Hello all,
This was also posted on JLC Online as I am trying to gain knowledge from as wide an audience as possible (thanks.)
I run a small custom carpentry and renovation business with a full compliment of the various tools we all probably use to do this type of work.
There have a been a couple of tools I have considered purchasing for some time but always put off. The first is to help limit or possibly entirely solve the issue of nail holes in stain grade work (paint grade as well I suppose.)
A 23 Guage pin nailer.
Brand aside what I'm really wondering is... Has anyone used a pin nailer to install moderately sized casing and other mouldings with the assistance of adhesive? Does a pin nailer grab and pull casing tight to an adjacent surface like my brad or finish nailer do? Clearly if a pin nailer and adhesive work the time savings would be pretty amazing and I'd purchase one in a heartbeat...
The second tool:
The Nobex Champion mitre saw http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...26&cat=1,42884 (http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=32926&cat=1,42884)
Primarily to help save my back but also would allow me to cut moulding indoors (in tight spaces) with less mess to clean up. It would mean I could leave the Makita 12" SCMS and stand at the shop for those smaller jobs. Also I find for the real picky stuff that the SCMS leaves some to be desired as far as cut accuracy.
Appreciate any input anyone may have on this!
Thanks,
Michael
