Should I use 1/8 or 1/4" depth 3" trowel or what else would you recommend?Also....will this work on wood paneling? Thanks!

a 3" would work just fine, yes for wood paneling. 1/8 inch is too small, no? 3" is what we used.

I use this router almost exclusively with a 1 5/8" core box bit, and in hard woods make 3 passes for the depth I need. In softer wodd, i can get by with 1 pass. I would guess that you could use the panel bit - it is pretty powerful, esp. for the price.

Depends on your weight load and what you're fastening to. I used four 3/4" #8 wood screws with a #8 washer when going into 3/4" plywood for a lumber cart, pushing about 200 pounds. Wouldn't use anything smaller. Would recommend a #10 3/4" if you have it.

Hint: for a 2" nail, keep all fingers 3" away from whatever you're nailing. Perhaps hire a contractor.

My flooring is 3/4 oak and it work perfectly. The user wasn't as perfect, but nothing was the fault of the tool.

It will fit in any 1/2" drill. Should fit in a 3/8" too, but having the power of a 1/2" helps. If you are planning on boring holes to water trees and shrubs, I found that I did not need this to pre-drill hole for the tree root waterer as the stream of water made it's own hole.

I am not near my shop but I think I used about a 1 1/4 " on 3/4" stock. With 1 1/2' inch stock you will have an option for longer fasteners. Be sure you buy the Kreg screws and driver. Most good hardware stores carry this product, just not at the Amazon price. Also you may want to finish with the wood plugs if you work will be visualy exposed. Stop in a local store and check it our before you order.

3/8" is all you need for snug or try 1/2" for a looser fit. You may be able to get away with 1/4" but I'm not sure either way when you are done drilling all the hard work is done. The rest is teflon and screwing everything on snug. Bidet works like a charm all my bathrooms have one with warm and hot water.

Hello, That's a great question. If there is a 3/16" that would be better. I'm sorry but we don't have that size though just the 1/4" and 1/8". Thank you, Bruce

I have used this on 3/8" and 1/2 " drywall and was 100% on the money finding a stud. I hope this has helped .

Both models (the plastic and the aluminum style) of the Gecko siding gauge Amazon sells adjust to a maximum 8 inch reveal (the part that you see exposed after its nailed up). For 12 inch siding the reveal is about 10 3/4 inches so these wouldn't work. Pac tool says in the literature that came with these that they can make them any size you want, just contact them. Of course the custom built ones couldn't be bought at Amazon prices but these gauges work so well and make siding installation go so fast that they might be worth the investment. Otherwise you can use the type gauge that hangs from the top of the previously nailed course and gauge the overlap instead of the reveal. These gauges (such as the Malco FCG2 which is also sold on Amazon) work with any reveal width. I've used both styles and these aren't as accurate in my opinion since the top edge of hardi-plank tends to be rough, and they are a little harder to use, but still make putting up planks a 1-man job suitable for a weekend warrior. These "hanging type" gauges are also better for pre-painted siding because I found it easier to accidentally mar the painted surface with the Gecko gauge.

10D no problem...12D.. depends on what kind of wood.. Joining 2 2x4's no problem.. WILL NOT drive sinker nails.. overall great tool , easy to use, small size important to me as i have a very small hand,

The PM ones are nice. The 1/4-in bit from Wood River breaks routinely in hard maple, so buy two at a time. Other than that, it depends on how big your mortises are. The rule of thumb is 1/3 shoulder, 1/3 tenon, 1/3 shoulder, so 1/4" for 3/4" thick wood.I just used a PM 3/4" bit for a bed I'm making.

The 18 gauge will work and leaves a smaller hole to fill but I like to use my 15 gauge for baseboards with 2 1/2 in nails cause you are trying to pick up the floor plate on a steep angle if you are trying to pull the top of the baseboard in tight to the sheet rock.

I have used mine on pine 2 x 4s (and a 4 x 4 post once if I remember correctly) which is probably a tougher wood than what's in your armoire so it should work as long as your blade is sharp. However, since the saw works opposite the way we are accustomed in the US, push vs pull, you need to be careful to get a clean and, especially, straight cut so your result looks professional. A few practice cuts on scrap wood should work. I speak as an amateur.

I used 2" nails on 3/4" birch for cabinet making. It has enough power to drive 2" nails through solid wood... If that's what you're asking.

We were using the 1 1/2" tenon cutter on logs which were 3" and smaller in diameter, and it worked fantastic. I don't know about logs any larger though.
