What do you do when the frame you are trying to pin has a slope going inwords, it will not pin properly. I have been using ablock of wood between the frame and the head of the pinner. im wondering that maybe when i was sold the pinner that there is some heads missing for differint types of frames.I also like to say that this is a great place to come on the net.
 
I don't know about different heads but there are supports you can hold in there. Is the plunger going right down on the face of the moulding? You can cut a piece of 1/4 inch plexiglass in a triangle that fits within the side walls for a makeshift support. Hold it down with one hand while you hit the trigger with the other.
 
Does it slant toward the top from the bottom or is it cut back from the top to the bottom.
 
I cut two pieces of the moulding about 3 to 4 inch's in length backward in the saw. Put the lip to the inside of the fence so you get a reverse angel. I use these pieces upside down in the reverse of the moulding shape on top of the corner of the frame in the underpinner. This gives me a block with the contour shape of the moulding for the plunger to hit on and keeps the moulding from getting damaged. I save these pieces in a box to use the next time I have a moulding with a similar difficult shape.
 
There are three Cassese triangle shaped adapters that are available for circumstances where the plunger shape doesn't work. One: a flat plexi, two: with a round bottomed extension and three: with a flat bottomed extension. A Cassese dealer should be able to get them for you.

Also many of the jigs and accessories are not included in the purchase price of the equipment so you have not been sold a v-nailer with parts missing but only not purchased.
 
Two solutions you might like to try for difficult mouldings:

http://www.lionpic.co.uk/product/ADJUSTABLE-MAGNETIC-HEAD-FOR-CASSESE,13263.aspx

I use one of these all the time and find it so much better than the normal cassese heads. The felt pads are replaceable.

I've not yet used this stuff myself but I'm told it's great for use with underpinners. Just soften it in warm water, press it against the mitred moulding and you have an instant bespoke head for the underpinner.

Thankyou mike will try. :beer:
 
Also Cassese makes a head that looks just like the black one that is off white and much softer than the black. I think that is the one you need.

The Larson or Roma leather weights (filled with lead shot?) used to hold curled art down work well for nailing some mouldings.
