Senco Finish Pro 35 Issue
i have a finish pro 35 that i used primarilly as a interior door gun
broke it out to do some exterior cornice work and it refuses to counter sink 2'' nails in exterior MDF i have a SFN 40 that has no issues,the driver looks fine on the FP 35 so i dont know why its having issues,setts fine on softer wood,and yes its adjusted as deep as it can go any ideas? they want $40 + bucks for a new driver blade,thought maybe it is broken but made a clean break but i dont want to shell $40 bucks out on a roll of the dice any ideas?

Re: Senco Finish Pro 35 Issue
Sometimes its the most obvious things that get overlooked - so unless the guns defective, it sounds like it needs some PM

Re: Senco Finish Pro 35 Issue
Had the same problems with it on interior hardwoods, i believe it's just not as good of a quality gun as the snf40. Never had a problem with my snf40.

Re: Senco Finish Pro 35 Issue
Is the gun clean & lubricated? I always run some marvel mystery oil through them first & then some air tool oil. The marvel seems to do a good job cleaning out any old oil & water that forms like a coating on the piston. At the very least it doesn't hurt anything, I use a little marvel in all my fuel cans for small equipment & it really does seem to keep the engines clean inside.

Re: Senco Finish Pro 35 Issue
Maybe the piston is gunged up. If it has been sitting for a while it may need a good strip and clean. Unless you have shot quite a few thousand nails I would not think the blade is trashed. Do you use a water seperator on your compressor? If not then cleaning the gun thoroughly is where I would start. I have the sfn 40 and it's a beast so I would assume the 35 should be pretty good.

There does appear to be some other factor inhibiting your gun. As for the $40.00. PEANUTS! C.O.D.B. (Cost of doing Business). Charge it out in another project.

Re: Senco Finish Pro 35 Issue
I use the FP 35 on a daily basis. I have shot 10's of thousands of nails through it with out any problems. I use it on interior and exterior with SS, Galv and bright.
I make sure to oil it regularly and it serves me very well. It's funny...I had the "better" SFN40 a few years ago and it broke which forced me to use the back up FP35. I have used it ever since. I would tear it apart and clean the piston and chamber. Even with regular oiling crap does build up causing some bad juju |

Re: Senco Finish Pro 35 Issue
thanks fellas,i'll dig into it this weekend and see what it looks like inside
cost of doing business yes,tossing $40 bucks away frivolously on a part that appears to be fine isnt really a good practice in any situation....all of my jobs are sq ft jobs with sq ft prices already set thanks again fellas
