Probably a silly question.
Building a deck, treated pine structure with merbau decking.
I have purchased a framer that takes 34 deg nails. I was going to use it for skew nailing the joists and nailing the nogs or blocking or whatever its called in between the joists instead of hand nailing. I figure it will increase the accuracy and save a heap of time.
I am a little confused with purchasing the nails. I know I need gal 75 x 3. I can see 33 deg and 34 deg nails. Do these both work in a 34 deg nail gun?
Unfortunately, I need to buy many more than I need ether way. I can but a smaller and cheaper amount of 33deg nails than I can 34deg... I would have thought that 1 deg would be barely noticeable and they would be interchangeable but I dont want to ruin a brand new gun. I did notice that one brand called them a 33 - 34 deg nail...
Any ideas? I would appreciate a push in the right direction of you know the answer..
