I have a Pistorius VN-M that I have used for 25 years. It is a manual machine. Back when I did more production work, I added an air assisted kit to this machine. Now that I no longer do production I have converted it back to manual operation. I also have a Brevetti pneumatic v-nailer that I used very rarely mainly because the v-nails have been discontinued and I ration my remaining supply. I used it mainly for assembly of readymades.

Others will disagree but I prefer the manual Pistorius because I have more control of the pressure used and the low maintenance needs of the machine. Also United carries the v-nails.

Get out your stopwatch and get to it. For example, if your labor rate is $75/hour ($1.25/minute) and it takes your framers an average of 20 minutes to glue, vice, nail brads into 4 corners, and putty the holes, your cost for joining would be $25 per frame.

You would save $16.25 per frame If you build an average of five frames a day/ 120 per month, your total joining cost would be $3000 with vices/brads, compared to $1950 with a fancy pneumatic underpinner. The difference of $1050 per month represents your savings. So, if you spend $3000 for a fancy pneumatic underpinner with tilt stand, air filter/lubricator, a couple of other accessories and a generous supply of fasteners, you would achieve 'payback' in 2.85 months.
