Micro Pin Nailer....?

[danny]

A Friend uses a Micro Pin Nailer (3/8") to Secure his cut

Pattern to the Backer Board.  My first time knowing this.

So what does everyone else think about this method.  ?

I bought one from H/F and it does shoot tiny pins so I don't see any reason not to. I use it to hold stack cuts together.

Thanks for your Reply.  I have Been Thinking about another

way to hold stacks together before Cutting.  Sounds Good.

The Nailers I have been looking at will shoot 3/8" and that

to me sounds perfect.  Headless lil pins.  Gluing after all these

years has just seemed to be just another way to make a Finished

craft look bad.  Even tho I use a Clear Glue.  It still shows.  Anyway thanks again.  And How do I get the Format here to type in a Single Space?                           Danny  :+}

Danny, when I shoot the pins I lay my stack on the anvil of my bench vise so that if the pins do protrude, the anvil will flatten them. Always check so you don't scratch up your saw's table. I'm not sure about 3/8" pins though. I use 1/2".

I have used pins. They work nicely on smaller pieces but I have experienced some layer seperation on larger pieces with lots of interior cuts. I probably could have used more interior pins but at some point it gets to be more work than taping.

I use a pin nailer all the time to hold stacks together, and to hold parts together for gluing.  I use 3/8" pins for stacking 1/8" wood, and when the pins protrude, just hit them with a hammer till they go back down.  I lightly rub over the ends to ensure they won't scratch the table and give them another whack if needed.

Hold the SHIFT key down when you change line, it will Single space your post

Warm Greetings my Old Good Friend....  OK I will give your test.
This is Exceptable for sure.  Kind of thought would be the Normal
Single line.  Is another thing to do.  Is there not a setting to automatically have it single line space?  Danny  :+}

Ive used tape around the outside - doesnt scratch the table top

thou when you get near the end of the cutting , you have to be careful

they dont separate
