Trade pack boxes of v-nails.
NB These are suitable for all hand tools including the Logan Studio Joiner & Alpha Minigraf underpinner. Designed in Italy.
Power Twist V-Nails for Alfamacchine are 11mm wide and fit underpinners manufactured by Alfamacchine including: U200, U300, U300p, U400s, U500, U600, Minigraf and AMP.
We recommend Power Twist V Nails for framers of any level because they consistently help achieve a tight join, stay straight, and reduce jamming.
The shape of Power Twist V Nails, twists outwards as the V Nail is inserted into the moulding, which then pulls the join tightly together once inserted as it contracts to return to its original shape.
Power Twist V Nails are made from only the best carbon steel and as a result they stay consistently straight when inserted
A silicone formula is used to stack the wedges rather than adhesive, to avoid jamming.
The silicone also acts as a lubricant, ensuring V Nails slide smoothly into the moulding.
Power Twist V Nails for Alfamacchine are available in Normal or Hardwood.
The silicone on the V Nail strips is colour coded for easy identification. Clear for Normal & Brown for Hardwood.
Normal (Ayous, Pine, Poplar, Obeche, Cedar, Soft MDF, Soft Plastic)
Hardwood (Ash, Oak, Walnut, Maple, Cherry, Maple, Plastic)
