Using a nail pin, typically with a pin nailer, involves positioning the nailer and firing a headless or nearly headless pin into the material to secure it.
Here's a breakdown:
- Position the Nailer: Place the nose of the pin nailer firmly against the material you want to fasten. Ensure it's flush and stable.
- Secure: Drive the pin, taking care not to get too close to any edges.
- Repeat: Drive another pin to secure the desired material.
- Driving Pins: Place the pin nailer where you want to drive the pin and press the pin nailer to drive the nail.
Pin nailers are often used for delicate trim work, small woodworking projects, and other applications where minimal visibility of the fastener is desired. Because of the small size of the nail, it's primary role is to hold while glue dries, and typically doesn't provide a ton of strength on it's own.
