Nail Gun - Spacer

I have read in a number of posts.........
to avoid nails being driven into material to far, a spacer is used??
Can anyone help with this.........
how do you use it??
do you need it if nail gun has a depth of drive
(Senco 751xp framer)
Do you buy them, make them??
anyone have a drawing, photo

Help!!!!!!!

Dont you just adjust the gun??

i cant see a need for a spacer when your gun has an adjustable drive depth. Just adjust it, practice on some scrap and robert's your dads brother.

Senco used to make what they called a flush nailer attachment for their earlier framing guns and we use them for sheet flooring.They used to be standard with the gun.All it is is a piece of pipe with a screw that attaches it to the safety trigger of the gun.I suspect that most guns are adjustable now,but if not you can easily make one.I have made one from a piece of electrical conduit before for a coil nailer when fixing blue board.You just need to trial and error a bit to get the length of it right.
