can you use deeper staples with this and if so what size? tried to staple and my staples weren't long enough to close right with 10 pgs of stationary

I was stapling through 1 layer of 90 lb paper and 10 layers of 20 lb paper to make 40 page 5.5" X8" booklets using regular staples. They were just long enough.

NO - it uses standard staples. Sounds like you need a heavy duty stapler......

I just happened to have some Sparco HB210 stables on hand and they worked fine on a 14 20lb sheet booklet plus 60 lb cover. The trick is not to fold the booklet first. Just set the slider for the right depth (measurement guide was accurate) and stable before folding. That might not work for a much thicker booklet, but that method of binding doesn't work well once you are over 20 sheets anyway unless you have a heavy duty stapler AND a finished booklet trimmer.

This is unlikely due to the Stapler. I purchased this stapler to build one dozen acoustic panels for my home recording studio. I was building wooden frames wherein I can place insulation and hang them like pictures. To build the frames, I used "furring strips" from Lowes. I learned that at some parts of various strips, it was simply too tough for the staples to penetrate while in others there were no problems at all. Because I was building so many, I found it worth while to purchase an electric version of this. Even that was having difficulty punching in staples in some places. Notice though, that the 9/16" will still penetrate, but just twist after some depth. It might make sense to get shorter staples; but that is no guarantee -- depending on what you're building. That said, the most likely reason the staples don't sink in fully is the wood is too dense. Furthermore, make sure to put weight on the back of the stapler as you fire off staples.

Staples work best. The smaller shafts are less likely to split. You may have to adjust depth pressure

I used a small rotary wheel and reduced the slope of the angle at which the staple comes out of the paper. It took several tries with intermediate testing to make sure of not doing too much. It now staples two pages just like the standard stapler. (I never found a way to reduce the impact force that would not destroy its use with up to 20-25 pages.)

One of the best I've ever used. All I know is that it sinks my 1/4 inch staples better and more consistently than others. I believe it will do fine for what you're planning.

I looked and measured. This can hold staples NO WIDER than 3/16ths inch. It can hold staples NO LONGER than 9/16ths inch. They are flat topped, not "crowned" --that is, the top of the staple is not for wire or cable, is is flat. The channel in which the staples travel is also flat. If you tried to use cable staples it would jam. You can use staples that are less than 9/16ths long, but they must remain 3/16ths wide. That size serves well for carpet and very, very light construction. I strongly discourage use of wider staples. Even 1/4 inch might be too tight. 1/2 inch wide is utterly out of the question. ---

depends on the size of cable you are using - remember the staples are a certain size that are furnished w/the stapler

Not really sure what you mean here but I will give it a shot. There is not difference in the edge or the entire are of the material so I would say "regular", not staple edge.

I assume you are asking about the length of the staples, I have used 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5 inch staples in my stapler. The stapler only allows for one width of the staple.

I have not had a problem with mine. If you are using duo-fast staples, then your driver may be bent or your pressure is insufficient.

Yes, make sure the pressure is high enough, and that you are loading the staples correctly. I also started using it and it wouldn't fire the staple. I wasn't putting them in right.

I am not the seller, but we have one and have had zero problems with it.... yours may be defective or you are not using the correct staples for it... we purchased the staple that go with the machine and have had no problems, jams and have made around 1000 booklets with it.

Regular heavy duty construction stapler & a small hammer, try 1/4 in staples. You may have to tack them in w/hammer, if not secure enough try 1/2 in.

I'd look at a different model of heavy duty stapler. This particular model jams with my every use. I'd spend ten more dollars, and get something that works. Mine will be visiting the recycling bin soon enough.

They at times. This is designed for heavy duty staples. Standard staples, wont pass through a certain number of pages and will break under pressure of the machine. If they do successfully pass through, look forward to clearing jams regardless. Its cheaper to go the right route and buy the heavy duties one time.

It uses regular size staples. However, I could not get it to staple 20 pages... it stapled about 12 pages, maximum. I found this stapler absolutely useless and returned it. I would NOT recommend this stapler to anyone.

It is a "GOOD" / "Great" stapler. But for 1/4" I would use smaller gage staples or be realistic and Glue down .Best I can do for you
