<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good move. After driving you second =
tuning pin,
you'll wonder how you ever strung a piano without one (the first pin =
will freak
you out too much to think of that!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the Danair RN-16-8. That comes =
with a tip
that can accommodate up to a 21/64" (0.328") pin. Works fabulous. I use =
the tip
that came with it. I remember others on the list saying that you should =
tell the
Danair folks that you want whatever tip it is that they sell to the =
Baldwin
factory (used to sell?). I don't know if that tip would be anything =
different
than mine or not. I can't imagine any tip working better than what I =
have - but
who knows?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing I found when using the nailer =
is that it
has plenty of power and you might be tempted to lower your air pressure =
to slow
it down some. That will slow down the nailing speed, but it seems to =
still have
the same power per blow - you loose control. I find it better to keep =
the air
pressure up. Once you get used to it it is very easy to control. =
Practice with a
scrap of pinblock with your first few pins.</FONT></DIV>
