![]() ![]() If anything it would make it harder to measure the length of the studs unless you have a machine that not only trenches but also normalises the thickness at that point. Yes, I understand the concept but fail to grasp the advantage. I built a few walls in my house laying down but you should have seen this wall we built in situ it was the way to do it for sure. Four skewed nails like metrix wrote for each stud, flick a string line and then fit the noggins alternating above and below the line. If u cut the studs right and not loose you just hammer them to vertical and they self support whilst u nail them in. It worked well and was quick with two people as we had an exisiting ceiling to temporarily tack the top plate to and it was not a load bearing wall. Then we cut and fitted the studs having to measure each one as the room was all over the place. Then we shot a top plate onto the ceiling and the two end studs into the exisiting walls one either end to help hold the top plate up. The floor was concrete and very un even making it far harder to build the wall and stand it up so we started by shooting at bottom plate into the concrete after flicking a string line. Years ago I laboured for a builder that needed a hand doing this. There is an Australian Standards which explains what you want AS 2334, but you will have to pay for this publication, here is a decent explanation of various fixings. This really comes down to, indoor use, untreated or H2 treated you can use the bright version, outdoor use or H3 and above use Hot Dipped Galvanised. The most common framing gun nails sold are.ħ5mm Diamond Point Smooth Hot Dipped Galvanised Paslode should have been able to explain the various nails, as it's very easy what they have. The 63 Paslode framing nails can easily be broken up into the following categories, they don't actually have 63 different nails, as the majority of the ones listed, are bundle packs, ie comes with gas, in small or large packs, various combinations of the below make up the majority of packs, and various lengths, the finishing nails are for various types of guns. If your nailing into the studs through the plates, then a bigger nails would be recommended.Īlso good luck finding 90mm nails for the paslode, these are not easy to find. It was said you cannot use 75mm into 90x45, this is not entirely correct, you can use 70x45 if you are skew nailing the studs onto the plates. Obviously I had more questions than these which is why I was trying to track down some guidelines. I would have thought asking, for example, which nail to use for framing TP 90x45, you would get the same answer, but no, even a difference whether to use bright or gal. pine cladding 19mm to hardwood frames/battens.pine cladding 19mm to TP frames/battens.I have asked these questions in shops that sell the guns and the nails, and asked where they sell the timber also - answers are never the same. Ok, I will ask a few questions about nails, which I agree is the first question, rather then which gun to use for that nail (which in this context I am not interested in, cause the answer to that, for me, is either the Paslode framing gun (can take 50mm-90mm 2.87-3.15 shank) or the straight bradder (can take 15mm-62mm, 14 or 16 gauge) and if the nail isn't suitable for those guns then a hammer (or rock) will be used. ![]() The nail gun as a weapon video gives you an idea of the better power behind the air gun then the gas gun. Well i couldn't find anything Australian and the Americans have different names for their nails, use slightly different building methods to us so the links above give an idea of a bit of everything but not much of a muchness. So the two are inseparable and you would think that someone would come up with a proper guide to both. It can be a rock, a hammer, an airgun or a gas gun or God forbid an electric one. The when you have decided on the nail you need for the job, you look for something to drive said nail. First learn about the nail, how long how thick what sort of head, what sort of steel, with glue with no glue, galvanised, stainless etc. Not unlike real guns, a gun can only take one type of nail well almost all the time, so the question is twofold. I find that when someone asks about nail guns without knowing the tool, they seem to think that a gun can take a lot of different nails so it is a matter of choosing the "best" gun and you are done. ![]()
