My festool ts75 does the same its part of the soft start/constant power setup. Probably normal on the Makita too. Just not something people are used too. You will find the same question on festool forums, sounds bad but isnt bad.

You really shouldn't be pushing down on a sander. The weight of the tool does the work. If you want more stock removal use a lower grit or a properly setup hand plane. What grit are you using on the sander? If your answer is more 80 grit you are using the wrong paper for removing material. Also low speeds are generally for metal or plastic. Use a higher speed without downward pressure and KEEP the belt sander in motion with an appropriate grit paper. Be careful you can remove a Once you have stuff leveled out you can use a finer paper say up to maybe 120 grit. After that go back to your random orbit sander and drop back down to 80 and work back up through the grits to remove the scratch pattern from the belt sander. Good luck!

hopefully they get this one right and then apply that to the other nailers 23, 18, 15, and framing. sadly i don't use 16 ga.

found this... sony at least at one point

Any updates on release time frame for newer nailer/nailers?

not sure if it comes with it but the instructions list an 1/8 collet as an accessory.

Actually the hitachi nailer i have shoots 3.5 inch nails.(nr90aes) I know the 83s do not. You are right most of the time I probably wont need the length but better to have it when I do. So do the new hitachi and dewalt cordless guns. Cant speak to the gas issue from personal experience. Just seen a lot of complaints on it. Back on topic- good to hear about the subcompact recip. Would make a nice complement to the big x2 unit i have.

Two big reasons. One 3.5 inch nails that are code in some places for some connections, and if you dont use it every day gas spoilage is an annoying issue. I am not a pro but have enough property that running a compressor everywhere is not particularly practical. I would probably already have a paslode if they drove 3.5 nails and the gas didnt spoil. Would be much easier for me to grab a battery from my current system(makita) and go to town on whatever needs it.

.... This good nailers please and thank you. Dont want to get into hitachi or dewalt just for nailers

Still waiting for word on a cordless framing nailer(that is good).... dont really want to get in the hitachi platform. A hybrid x2 compressor would be an interesting option too. Just my wish list. ps. 99 percent sure the aws chip comes with the tool. they are making it serviceable and upradeable acording to a couple WOC videos I have seen.

Any update on a cordless Framing nailer from Makita?

No federal laws against them, you could build a fence or something non structural most places. There is not a single National code in the US. The heads are smaller so they are more likely to pull through structural, roof sheathing etc. In many locals along the South and East coast they are either against code or frowned upon due to hurricane wind threat. In California/ west coast due to earthquakes again they are more likely to pull through sheathing in a quake. Probably in the central US in "tornado alley" they have or will have in the future problems with them too. Here in Georgia I dont think I can even buy clipped head nails or nailers at my local big boxes stores. Thanks again, Brad

Thank you again, English can be really confusing, in America we call them framing nailers, I am pretty sure that people in England an Australia call them "first fix". Hopefully they set it up to fire off set round head like the paslode or 21 degree full round heads. Clipped head nails are a code fail in much of the US. Hope this comes by fall or sooner. Have a bunch of projects lined up that would be much easier if I dont have to bring out the compressor to remote locals. Hate to buy a Paslode if this is around the corner. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. By construction nailer do you mean a framing nailer? I know they are called different things around the world. If so do you know if it was plastic or paper colated and what degree? Thank you
