FC350 specifications

The Porter-Cable FC350 is a versatile and robust finishing nailer designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who demand performance and reliability in their tools. Known for its efficient power and features, the FC350 has become a staple in various applications, particularly in trim work, cabinetry, and furniture assembly.

One of the standout features of the FC350 is its lightweight design, which enhances maneuverability while reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Weighing in at just under 6 pounds, it is easy to handle and position successfully, making it ideal for overhead and awkward angles. The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip, further enhancing its usability in challenging conditions.

The FC350 operates using a reliable and efficient pneumatic system, requiring an air compressor to function. It boasts a firing speed of up to 10 nails per minute, allowing for quick and efficient completion of projects. The depth adjustment feature enables users to control how deep the nails are driven, providing greater precision and adaptability to various materials. This is essential when working with different types of trim or when delicate work is involved.

Another notable characteristic of the FC350 is its 360-degree exhaust system that directs air away from the operator and the work surface. This not only keeps the workspace clean but also enhances safety by reducing the risk of debris and dust impacting the nailer's performance.

The tool features a tool-free jam release mechanism, enabling users to quickly and easily clear any jams that may occur without the need for additional tools. This quick access to the nail compartment ensures minimal downtime, allowing for more efficient work.

The FC350 is compatible with 18-gauge nails ranging from 1 to 2 inches in length, making it suitable for a wide range of fastening applications. It also features a sequential firing mode for greater control, ensuring precise placement even in intricate projects.

In summary, the Porter-Cable FC350 finishing nailer stands out for its combination of lightweight design, powerful pneumatic operation, convenient features, and versatility.
