When using n60 nailer, one nail goes all the way in, but the next nail only goes halfway in and the some don't go in at all. Don't know what's wrong.

Worn orings in gun and the trigger valve can/will cause problems as you describe. Remove the nails and leave open the latch. Lighty tap the nose of the gun against coiled rubber hose. The driver/piston should stay in the top position (if the driver is down or comes down after test, replace driver oring). Now push the nose against the rubber hose and activate/hold trigger, while holding the trigger/gun in this position, the driver will /should stay down under pressure. At this point no air should leak out of the nose of the gun. If air leaks out of the nose, examine the lower bumper for cracks ( replace as needed ). Finally remove the trigger and examine the firing valve pin. If it has a plastic pin, looks worn and wobbles from side to side, most likely needs to be replaced. If however it has a metal pin and it seems to fit snugly, do not change unless it is leaking air. Good luck

Need metal slide for nt50ae2, plastic nail slide is allways jamming

I don't believe there is a metal substitute for the stock part. I did not see one on the parts diagram and it is unusual for something like that to be offered as an option. BUT if the tool is jamming I suspect it is not due to the pusher. Make sure you are using the correct gauge (18 for this tool) nails first of all. Make sure you air pressure is adequate. Somewhere around 90psi would be the minimum. If too low of pressure is used it will not allow the driver to retract far enough to advance the next nail. If the tool is not leaking air anywhere then the last thing to check is to make sure the driver isn't bent. That can also lead to jams.

Why does my hitachi roofing nailler skip nails every 5-7 shots, and there is a leak in the back but o-rings are fine and nothing seems to be broken?

Try using it differently. It's more of a bouncing method than a pushing method. Also use good quality nails. Fix the leak it will help it recoil better.Don' use excessive amounts of oil.

I inherited a Bostitch N805B uses 28 degree .113 and came with clipped head nails. Will it shoot full round head nails?

I could only find a Bostitch N80SB full round head nailer in their lineup so I hope that's what you have. No it will not fire full round had nails because they are stacked at a lower angle to accomidate for the full head and material used to hold the strips together. Senco does make a full round head nail that fits their clipped head nailers but it does not list the Bostitch nailers as one they will fit into so I don't know if they will work in your gun. The Senco part number for their three inch, full round head nails for clipped head guns is K527APBK.

I have a rapesco master nailer 181el, it is firing but no nail comes out. i have removed the nose piece and checked but there is nothin jamming it?????????

when you put nails in bar does it close with a spring in it to keep nails tight in front.

or maybe the end of the piston is broke off and can't work right.

check the track and make sure nothing is clogging it.

don't forget to vote for me.

thanks

My Bostitch SB 2in1 nailer will only on occation nail all the way into the wood. For the most part the nail will bend over before it goes in, which damages the wood. I spend more time tying to pull out...

I ran into this problem many times. Don`t use the Bostitch brand nails. Use the generic or other name brand. You`ll notice the generic one`s heads are just a little bigger and the driver blade won`t run down the side of the nail!
Thanks,
Jeff

I have a N60FN with a bad TVA6 I found the remains of an O ring in the bottom of the TVA6. I think I have one that will replace it, but I am not sure where it goes. Where can I find a diagram to walk me...

Go to the Bostitch web sit(Aust.) Look for tool break down sheet. Look up Your Nail Gun Model No. N60 FN or N60 FN2. That may have the info you need. Or try asking your nearest nail gun repair agent for the info you need.Good Luck!

Help with Bostitch N60 air nail gun.

If it is a N60FN you will have to install a new trigger valve P/N TVA6. Any Bostitch service center should have them.
