Hello everyone!
I am using LJ's Ansley profile #227517 (https://www.larsonjuhl.com/p-378-227517.aspx?itemid=665&CatId=128), and while I have successfully joined this moulding, my results have been far from consistent. I am feeling the moulding shift slightly when I drive the v-nails, with the end result often being gapping on the face of the corner. I chop it with my Morso and pin it with my VN2+1. I stack a pair of 10mm softwood nails in two different spots. I've also used 15mm nails (single, non-stacked) in the two spots with somewhat better results.
Things I have tried:
-Ensuring the rabbet supports on the chopper are high enough so that the moulding doesn't 'roll' forward from the downward pressure of the blades, hence (hopefully) getting a good chop.
-Positioning the VN2+1 vertical clamp in different locations above the moulding.
-Adjusting the air pressure from 50 to 80 PSI.
Some ideas I have thought of:
-Would a rubber pad on the vertical clamp hold a tall, narrow profile in place better than a felt pad, being that it has better friction?
-Would using single 15mm nails be better than stacked 10mm nails, even though they don't secure the miter as close to the face?
I have very few issues with joining wider moulding. It's the tall, narrow profiles that have been giving me headaches.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
