  2. I just got a quotation for a composite nails gun model Omer81P 190 USD, I do not think this is expensive. It is pneumatic.

    Thanks, no thats a fair price, here is what I have found in Norway:

    OMER 1755 for nails 1,7 - 1,8 mm kr. 5.997,- = 1000USD
    OMER 3012P for diameter 1,1 mm kr. 4.459,- = 750USD?
    RAPTOR S05F, for staples 12,7mm kr. 2.921,- = 500USD

    (Today 1USD=6NOK)

    These prices are a bit old, and they include 25% vat.
     
  4. I got this price list, but are staple for COLD MOLD, I will have soon quotation for nails for strip planking:
    S/05-25, ¼” 19g staple $42.35 box

    S/05-37, 3/8” 19g staple $43.95 box

    S/05-55, 9/16”, 19g staple $48.85 box

    Omer gun 81P tool $190

    Thanks again :)
    Have you used the staples?
    I will use it for three layers of 4mm okume playwood in a radius chine. The plywood will be bent over longitudinal stringers.
     

  6. Yes, I used progressively in veneer 3,5 mm, first 1/4" (6 mm) staples over the stringer, enough to hold and glued it, then 10mm and 12 mm on others layers. I vacuum last layer.
