Is this good for build my cabinet with plywood?

No doubt it would work. Just get the right length for your nails and apply the proper pressure so that the nail doesn't go too far. Use a few spare pieces of wood to try and find the right pressure and to test the length of your nails.

For the cabinet carcase (the box), use screws plus glue for strength, not nails. Especially if the cabinet is for a heavy load. For attaching a face frame (with or without doors) to a plywood cabinet the nailer is just what you want: the small holes are easily filled to be just about invisible.

If you can dado it, and add a bit of wood glue, nails will hold anything together. You could also get the good coated nails, and the wood will give out before the nail comes loose.

Ok to use for setting up before drilling and using screws to hold cabinet permanently. Nails are two flexible for permanent repairs or construction.

If you are actually building the box of a cabinet I would recommend screws. In theory the nails would work, but they will loosen.

I would assume this would work, you would just have a seam down the middle of your shelf. I used 2- 4' x8' sheets of plywood and ripped them down to a little under 16" and they worked great. If you don't have a circular saw, Home Depot will rip the plywood down to the size you need for free..... I would recommend going slightly smaller then 16". Hope this helps.

You will want the surface to be as smooth and non-porous as possible and plywood usually won't work. You will need to make sure it is as smooth as possible and perhaps has a coat of paint. The paint should also have 2 weeks to fully cure.

The desk I mounted this on was plywood. However, I have a Sauder (I think the same material you are talking about) and I've screwed other things into it with no trouble.

I think as long as the platform is solid it's fine. Mine is on a platform of 3/4 plywood.

I like mine. It is on the floor. If you had it on a box spring, it might have less support. So put it on 3/4 in plywood.

estly, I'm not sure. But in the NYC area where I live, this price point is a mid-level vanity. None of the more expensive vanities that I saw (some ridiculously more expensive) were made of real wood. So I saw this as a good buy for a good looking vanity, even if it was overlay over plywood. The market where you are might be very different.

I think so too. My door is a thin piece of plywood, maybe 1/8th inch thick. If not you could probably stuff it with something to keep it from being loose. I am pretty sure it would look okay.

For temp use I used plywood, this will work but not recommended as perm base for mattress

I haven't tried it but I think it would do OK with a 1/4" plywood. Not sure the "blade" would do well on thicker material. You would have to move slowly. My opinion.

Laminate wood? I would say so. I'm no expert by the majority of our cabinets are particle cheap stuff. The only thing I would suggest is that to at least sand your area down just a tad as I did the same to lift the gloss that is applied to top layer. I used two coats for the color I wanted then applied the clear coat to protect.

That's a good thing because the screws will not come loose.....just make sure it goes in straight.....the woodlike particle board is like butter...hope this helps ;)

I'm not sure what they suggest, but I used 1/2" on all three layers and it's very stable. I'm sure you could get away with thinner plywood on the 2 lower shelves, but I'd go 1/2" on top shelf b/c it will bear the most weight (at least mine does).

I use my Ryobi 18V drill. I keep it on drill mode for the initial hole and then dial it down to around 6-8 lowest settings when doing the screws. If you leave your torque too high you'll break through your board. That's more of an issue with plywood than dimensional lumber. I glue my seems though it isn't necessarily needed.

My experience has only been with cabinets with a laminate finish...I would not think using it on unfinished wood would be a good idea however...it is strong.

I think it would work fine for that. It is pretty sturdy and will screw on any surface. Actually, I screwed it onto a piece of wood that was square.

It does very well on plywood. No tear out on the bottom. I used it for a bookcase with mahogany ply and I could adjust the width precisely.
