Has anyone installed 3/4 inch 3 1/2 in wide Brazilian Cherry hardwood with this gun using 16 ga 1 3/4 in L cleats. Did it work OK?

The jig comes with an extra receiver plate making it useable with several of the mauser variants. You can easily modify it by locating proper spacing for the alignment pins if none of these match up with your model. If the 96 Swede has a flat bottom action then you should be able to use it without any modifications. What it does not have is a guide for the tap. It includes a guide for the drill, but not for the tap. I made one of these in the lathe so that the tap could be supported vertically.

I am not near my shop but I think I used about a 1 1/4 " on 3/4" stock. With 1 1/2' inch stock you will have an option for longer fasteners. Be sure you buy the Kreg screws and driver. Most good hardware stores carry this product, just not at the Amazon price. Also you may want to finish with the wood plugs if you work will be visualy exposed. Stop in a local store and check it our before you order.

Yes it will. Very easy to use. You will have to change out the depth guide to the smaller guide, which is supplied in the kit. The one which is installed on the gun is for 3/4" flooring. This gun in very reliable and accurate. I had zero issue's with it installing 600sq ft of hardwood flooring.

Sorry tried to hit yes. I personally use Stanley L-cleats.. but the instructions on the paperwork indicate that it will indeed use T-cleats 16ga

Yes, 3/4" flooring is actually 25/32", I believe, and there is a base plate for it. Anyway, I installed nominal 3/4" oak flooring and had no problem running at 90psi using the L-cleats. I think they were 2". Just take the time to be sure the nailer is sitting solid and square and you'll be fine. One thing that helps a lot is to put a scrap piece of flooring under the back end of the nailer to help hold it level.

I think that's a question for the flooring manufacturer. The nailer will shoot L cleats with no problem. I am very satisfied with the nailer.

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).

Yes, you may have to purchase a longer nut. I actually converted a new 500 to a pre 60s model. I liked the walnut better than the maple. It made a very nice shot gun when I was done. As far as I know all parts to the moss verge 500 are inner changeable with a few small hic ups. They make a 6 1/2 and a 7'' slide tube , but otherwise they are pretty much the same today as 50 years ago. I hope this helps! J

Regarding the power, yes. I've fired through hardwood, completely sinking a 2" brad. It depends upon the space you have available concerning the "tight areas"; most likely, no.

I used 3/4 in plywood because that's how deep the t nuts are (you can get a 100 pack here for 17 bucks). If you build a proper substructure you won't have any problems with 3/4in.

As tempting as it might be, I would not recommend it. If you can get it mounted, the blade may extend below the deck of the saw. Also, you have to make sure the arbor diameter is correct 3/4" in this case. Most 4 1/2" blades have a much smaller hole in the center for proper alignment on the saw. They probably do that to prevent you from mounting blades on the wrong type of saw.The 4 3/8" is fairly durable and I actually bought an extra one when i bought the saw. I changed the blade after putting down approximately 250 sq ft of laminate flooring. If you get in a pinch, they sell them at Lowes too. As tempting as it might be, I would not recommend it.

Yes we used 1 1/2" 18 gauge brads. They're cheap so we spaced them about 6" apart. You'll read a lot of stuff on this subject. All I can say is this gun and the brads worked great for this application.

Yes! I have the exact same Freeman nailer (which I love) and I have only used these cleats going on 12 of these boxes, without an issue!

Absolutely. All you need to do is adjust the height of the foot (the difference between the sub-floor and the new floor board). This is an 18 gauge L cleat Hardwood Nailer, and it can do floors of any thickness. You will also need to get a feel for the right air pressure. I used mine at 95-100 for L clears. For the boards that are close to the wall, I used straight nailer, and the pressure for that was 110. The pressure you used depends on the thickness and harness of your new floor. Mine was 3/4' Brazilian Cherry. I hope this helps! :)

No, however if you need to use an 18ga gun due to very hard wood in your flooring project then you're not likely to be in a situation that requires 2" cleats.
