15 Gauge Nails Views

• Tools & Home Improvement

Going up from 18 gauge fastenings the next sizes are 16 and 15 gauge (1.63 and 1.83t mm diameter). These are generally referred to a finish nails . They come in lengths between ⅝ and 2½ in. (16 to 642 mm) and are used in the general fixing of much softwood and MDF trim work (such as baseboard/skirtings, architraves, etc.) where the holes will be filled and the work painted afterwards.

I tested 10 15-gauge angled pneumatic nailers: the Craftsman 18177, DeWalt D51275K, Hitachi NT65MA2, ISM 15DA250, Makita AF632, Max NF550/15-65, Porter-Cable DA250B, Senco FinishPro 41XP, Spotnails XBA1564, and Stanley-Bostitch N62FNK-2. I ran them for 12 weeks trimming my company's custom homes and extensive whole-house remodels, installing every molding I could think of. I also used them in trim work applications like hanging doors and setting hardwood stairs. I looked for them to sink nails flawlessly in hardwood and softwood, have smooth depth-of-drive adjustment, load easily, and be comfortable to hold all day. I also looked for easy adjustments and for any added features that make on-site trim work easier.

The new NT65MA4 angle finish nailer features Hitachi’s new industrial design and fires 15-gauge nails from 1 1/4 In. - 2 1/2 In. in length for use on a wide variety of projects. The unique integrated air duster makes clearing debris from the work surface quick and easy. Features such as a an easy clear nose, adjustable depth of drive and selective actuation reduce downtime and offer convenience to the user. With a lightweight and durable aluminum housing, the NT65MA4 may be used for the installation of crown and base moldings, window and door casings, chair rails, cabinets, exterior trim, staircases and hardwood flooring. Included with the NT65MA4 are one no mar tip, safety glasses, quick connect plug and carrying case.

Let's use assembling a faceframe to a cabinet shell for example. With the 18 ga nailer where the wedge point (edge) is in-line with the strip of nails, I will hold the nailer perpendicular to the plywood. With the larger 15 gauge nailer, the wedge is not in line with the strip, and therefore, I hold the nailer parallel to the plywood shell
