description Senco FP350 Overview

The Senco FP350 is a powerhouse designed for high-volume structural framing. It features a robust construction that handles the demands of large-scale residential and commercial projects. With its reliable firing mechanism and ergonomic grip, it allows for rapid installation of studs and joists while maintaining consistent depth control. It is widely respected by professional carpenters for its durability and ability to drive long nails through dense lumber without stalling.

help Senco FP350 FAQ

What size nails does the Senco FP350 accept?

The Senco FP350 is designed for clipped-head or full-round-head framing nails, typically ranging from 2 to 3½ inches in length, depending on the specific model variant. You should verify the exact collation type (plastic strip or paper tape) and nail gauge listed in your unit's manual before buying bulk fasteners.

Does the Senco FP350 require oil for the air compressor connection?

Most Senco framing nailers need a few drops of pneumatic tool oil in the air inlet before daily use to keep the internal cylinder lubricated. If you are running a compressor with an in-line oiler, manual oiling can be reduced, but you should still follow Senco's maintenance schedule in the manual.

What PSI should I run my compressor at for the Senco FP350?

Senco typically recommends operating pressures between 70 and 120 PSI for their framing nailers, with the sweet spot usually around 90 to 100 PSI for full penetration into engineered lumber. You should test-fire into scrap lumber of the same species you are nailing and adjust within that range.

How does the Senco FP350 hold up for high-volume framing jobs compared to a Hitachi (Metabo HPT) NR90AES1?

The Senco FP350 is built for high-volume structural framing and is praised for its durable firing mechanism, while the Hitachi/Metabo HPT NR90AES1 is lighter and popular for its balance. Contractors who prioritize cycle speed and long-term ruggedness tend to favor the Senco, while those who want lighter weight prefer the Metabo.
