    Default 18g "nails" in Pine

    I've got a bit of pine edging attached to something than needs a few mm trimmed off of it but it has 18g air nails ("soft") tacking it on and it's also glued. I can't see how to remove them without ruining the whole thing.
    How much of a mess is it going to make of a saw blade?
    The other option (more difficult for me but I'm ordering blades tomorrow) is using a small bandsaw to trim it.
    I'm sure enough of it not being safe not to try but thought I would ask as I might learn something new.

    if its only a few mm can you punch the brads further in then sand or plane it off
    Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
    bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

    As Fubar says, punch them in a far as you can then cut.

    If your using a tablesaw with a TCT blade then just cut it.
