Pietenpol-List: Pnuemartic brad nailer malfunction - repair options?
Original Posted By: brian.e.jardine@l-3com.com
Earlier this spring I was building my wing rib jig. I was using a brad nailerto secure the forming blocks to the jig base. About half way through the jobthe brad nailer stopped / jammed. It would kind of fire fire, but only a slightpuff of air could be heard - no "THUMP" and no brad would come out. I hadanother brad nailer and switched to it. Just before the last block was secured,the second nailer had an identical failure.Is this a common problem from contamination in the air tank?Are these brad nailers serviceable? (One is a black and decker unit and the otheris el 'cheapo from Lowes.)Where do you take them to get them repaired?What does one do to prevent another failure?--------Bob 'Early Builder' DewenterDayton OHRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Bob,Just a thought...are you putting a few drops of air-oil in the gun eachtime before you use it? A water/moisture separator between your aircompressor and air hose is a good way to keep it from your tools. BrianSLC-UT -----Original Message-----

Looking at steel piet plans, looks like the short fuse from Pietenpol family. Were does the short and long version differ in dimensions?

Usually due to a lack of oil. Lube it up real good and dry fire the heck out ofit until everything is reseated.Might consider dismantling and look for galling between steel parts. If it's gotgalling, smooth parts out with a file and sandpaper.It can also be a problem with the trigger. Bostitch nailers are famous for ano-ring failing in there, but the symptoms are different.A moisture separator will only work until the air is heated up in the system, asthey separate water particles, not "moisture" as they imply. Unless you'reusing a dessicant based dryer.However, the moisture in the air isn't the over riding problem, possibly a lackof oil. I had this failure just last week...Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

It probably takes care of the aft CG issue.It appears that the "contra-rotating" props actually turn the same direction andit might be less than fun to hand prop.Why bother?Mike HardawayTapped on an iPad.On Aug 6, 2013, at 10:16 AM, "Bill Church" wrote:> > Just saw this on the Facebook page for the UK Pietenpol Club.

Gary tsk tsk, you obviously don't know it's way easier to get that extra 15mphby turning that little screw inside the airspeed indicator!

Bob put a drop of oil in through the air hose fitting every time you use it. Also,put a water trap in the air line as close to your air tool as you can. Puttingit next to the compressor will not get all the water out. Gardiner Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 6, 2013, at 1:40 PM, "bdewenter" wrote:> > Earlier this spring I was building my wing rib jig.
