retro fit kit to eliminate the wear on the springs in the back
of your machine.
Do I need
to oil the wire?
Yes, oiling
the wire will prolong the life of your stitcher heads. It
will also help the performance of your stitcher heads. Using
a 10 W30 oil on the felt pads on the head and applying oil on
the wire itself will help the performance. By oiling properly
you will avoid getting oil on the product you are stiching.
If my
stitcher head is dropping a stitch does that mean that there
is something wrong with the wire?
No, in most
cases this is a simple adjustment on the head itself. Adjust
the wire curl for a consistent feed of the wire to eliminate
the problem.
Why might
there be flakes around my stitcher head?
There may
be several reasons why deposits are found around your stitcher
head. First determine where the problem is happening. Just
because there are flakes around the stitcher head does not
mean that is where the problem is. Take a magnet and see if
the magnet picks up these flakes. If the magnet picks up the
flakes, then that means that the wire is being scraped and
therefore the coating of the wire is being damaged. Trace
back from the spool to the stitcher head and look for any
areas where the wire may be rubbing or scraping and adjust the
part. And oil, oil, oil…
How much
wire will I need to staple my books?
A staple for a book is
usually one inch. Two staples are usually used in each book.
(You will need to know the number of staples per book and the number
of books for the job being quoted.)
(2 inches per book) x (amount of
books) = total inches of wire
(total inches of wire) / (inches per spool) = amount of spools
(total inches of wire) / (inches per pound) = amount of pounds
