Hi Ron,
Thanks for your question. We recommend our 15Ga Finish Nails for CNC. They are longer and thicker, and can penetrate a wider range of wood types. We recommend 3/8” penetration into the spoil board for hold down, and the 15Ga finish nails are most effective in doing this. Brads are made for softer substrates and are excellent for cabinet and trim applications.
We do not recommend any tool other than the Omer Tools that are specifically designed for Raptor Nails. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
