Getting the meite V-Nailer V1015B to Sink V-Nails Flush

Once I figured things out, it got the job done. I've taken a star off for two reasons: 1) The included page of instructions is minimal and poorly translated. 2) It really should come with a storage case. Time will tell if this tool will last. I'm not a professional, only making a frame now and then, but I enjoy having the right tool for the job. With my occasional use, I'm hopeful that it will last long enough to be worthwhile. If I have any further issues, I'll update my review. In case it saves you some frustration and exotic vocabulary, here are some things I learned: 1) The nail size sticker on the gun gives you the correct order for which magazine back plate slot to use, but it doesn't visually align with the actual slots. I made the mistake of sliding the back plate into the slot that lined up with the nail size on the sticker, which actually was one size too big. The result was that only one out of every six or seven shots actually sunk the v-nail flush. The rest were partially sunk (too shallow to pound in with a hammer, but too deep to pull out with pliers), or jammed the driver of the gun altogether. It was during disassembly to clear a jam that I saw the gap between the v-nails and the driver guide, prompting me to move the back plate one slot closer. That solved most of the issues, producing pretty consistent results (see pictures for before and after). 2) The gun needs to be as close to 90 degrees to the frame as possible. Tilting just a little bit from 90 will often result in the v-nail not quite sinking flush to the surface. 3) I had solid results with my compressor regulated to about 90 PSI. The instructions specify a range of 4-7kgf/cm2, which is roughly 57-100 PSI. 4) Always test on an offcut of the same material as your frame to be confident it will work. You don't want to discover issues on a custom figured sapele frame that took hours to make. Ask me how I know... :) What Works For Me 1) Rotate the magazine stopper, and slide the magazine out of the gun. 2) Referencing the sticker and counting slots, move the magazine backing plate into the correct slot for the size of your v-nails. 3) Insert the magazine back into the gun. 4) Load the magazine with v-nails, glue-side out, with the wide part of the V toward the driver, as shown on the sticker. 5) Close the magazine until it latches. 6) Add a drop or two of pneumatic tool oil to the air fitting. 7) Connect the air hose. 8) Set compressor regulator to about 90 PSI. 9) Shoot some nails into offcuts of your frame material to ensure they sink flush (adjust angle/PSI, if necessary). 10) Hold your breath, say a quick prayer, and shoot v-nails into your assembled frame. Note: You can use the included right-angle guides to ensure consistent spacing of the v-nails from the inside or outside corner of the frame. You'll still want to pay attention to the angle of the gun being as close to 90 degrees to the frame as possible. Photo Captions 1) Aaaaargh!! Something ain't right... 2) Oh, hey -- look at that gap. 3) Wait...that's not the right slot! 4) For 10mm v-nails, use the 3rd slot. 5) That looks better! 6) Success!! FINALLY!!!!! 7) Nail orientation in the magazine: Glue side out, wide part toward driver.
