What is difference between P650 & P650L? Can you nail into 1" oak?
1333929
The only difference is that when firing 3/8" pins you must hold the dry fire lock out button in on the P650L.

I cannot answer question - I've used the Grex 23 very little - mainly as an assist in cabinet drawer assembly

THE P650L will not fire without pins. So far I have shot 2" pins into walnut, oak, maple, bamboo, and a couple of exotics and I have not had any problems. Play with your air pressure if you have any problem.

I'm not an expert but I believe the L stands for lock and that model has an add'l locking feature. I have used my Grex on 3/4 inch oak and it performed very well.

The main difference is that the 650lL has a dry fire preventer, will not fire if there are no pins (nails) and yes 1 " oak is doable with the correct Air pressure Jim

Yes, however keep your fingers clear since the pins are so small that longer ones tend to bend when shot in following the grain. The 2" pins especially. Expirament on a piece of scrap before using on the finish product. Otherwise pretty much the best pin nailer one can buy. Very little trace of a nail hole.

Robert,What are you making? I do intarsia projects with 3/4 inch wood of various types, some hard woods and some softer. I usually use a #5 or #7. Red oak is fairly soft so depending on the detail in your project. a #5 should work good for you. Kathy

Use standard nails for nail guns from any hardware supplier... nothing special. I like this gun.

Rogelio, I can't say for sure, as I have a 20" Poulan Pro, but I'm going to guess that the 3/16" is the one you need. You may want to call around first to Home Depot, or a local chainsaw shop that sells your saw and ask them, just to make sure. Best of luck with it.

I have ran 15 degree wire nails in it and didn't have a any issues. I was using it for sub floor and it sank nails fine. I would say the nv75 has more power and a more enclosed feeder for the nails but the 65 has been very dependable for siding and trim.

The Hogue overmold stock is heavier than the standard 10/22 birch wood factory stock. The polymer chassis and the synthetic rubber exterior add about a pound or so, but I didn't weigh them. The Houge stock is a definite improvement.

My model is a 640- which is an earlier model than your yours by a couple of years BUT in my instructions it states that machines will not accept pin type blades only.I do a lot of scroll work using 2/0 pinless blades. You have picked a great scroll sawIF you use size 2/0 up to # 1 RUN your saw at SLOW speed or you will go brokebuying blades. I use Flying Dutchman Blades - last much longer in hard wood and don'tburn - a very aggressive cut, much more than Olson. Good Luck ---- Ken

The PM ones are nice. The 1/4-in bit from Wood River breaks routinely in hard maple, so buy two at a time. Other than that, it depends on how big your mortises are. The rule of thumb is 1/3 shoulder, 1/3 tenon, 1/3 shoulder, so 1/4" for 3/4" thick wood.I just used a PM 3/4" bit for a bed I'm making.

The N62FNK-2 15 Gauge. will hold 130 nails (1.25inches to 2.5 inches in length). So you can do a lot of nailing without reloading.

I purchased the nailer specifically for 18GA brads. 16GA can split small pieces of wood, quarter round, etc. I'm retired and use mine for interior trim and small woodworking projects using brads with glue or just brads. Once you use a pneumatic nailer, you will seldom, if ever, use a hammer and nail again. There is a depth adjustment on all nailers. Test the adjustment using a piece of scrap of same wood. Obviously, a brad won't sink as deeply into oak as pine. Happy nailing.

Ive tryed with different nail lengths but oak is oak. Its fine for trimwork and fireplace surrounds and the like, but when your going through oak and also into a solid stringer it can be a problem. I agree with the other answer of screws, dowels and glue. High traffic

Mr. Pfremmer, The PCN65 is not designed to handle the standard 1-1/4" roofing nails. It uses plastic collated and wire collated siding nailes which are longer and don't have as large of a head as the roofing nails. I hope this helps.

Carl, you need to have an 18 gauge nailer for bamboo and really hard woods. The 18 gauge uses smaller nails and will not split the "tongue" of the tongue and groove boards. Sale's people sometimes can give you inaccurate info. We found this informationout when we were puchasing the nails for the gun.

I have cut wood for 30 yrs. and this saw the 445 is light enough to use as a trim saw but yet powerful enough to cut 2ft. logs. The difference between the saws is minimal, 445 is rated 45.7 cc's & 2.8 hp. The 450 is rated 50.2 cc's & 3.2 hp. With the 16 in. bar your good to go and you can figure and extra 50 buck's for the 450.

Yes, it's true the 643 IP is being sold with the Oregon parts. Not sure why this is being done, although I had not heard about the 20" bar. Whatever the case, I'd still recommend the saw. The one I bought is a real beast; it's particularly impressive in its power-to-weight and power-to-engine size ratios: it's a lot of kick in a small, light package. And which doesn't leak bar oil either! Like my Craftsman saws do. Buy it, you'll like it.

I really don't know which is better. You will probably get used to either. What I looked for was whether I would be able to buy the nails for the gun I selected, cheaply and readily available. If you go to Lowes or Home Depot and they have a large stock of 30 degree nails then that tells me that the contractors are using the 30 degree nails more and you should too. Go with what most of the gun manufacturers are using. Don't go with an odd ball type. Your gun won't be any good if you can't find nails for it in the future. Hope that helps you. Also, I really liked the Porter-Cable. It performed well, was good priced, and the nails are cheap and available. I really don't know which is better. You will probably get used to either.

The density (type) of hardwood is going to make some amount of difference, but I was using 90psi for 3/4" maple. Can't tell you CFM because I have 150psi tank and the compressor kicks on at ~ 120psi; I was never dealing with a tank pressure anywhere near or below 90psi where the compressor was running. And I mean ... it would also depend on how fast you were nailing; it's not like this is a tool that runs continuously. Given that I would think almost anything would give you enough CFM @ 90psi unless you've got a crew all working off the same compressor with multiple pneumatic tools causing it to be continuously running (Or, you were 'Bishop' from 'Aliens' and firing 120 nails a minute, I suppose).
