Wire Stitch head 52/8-S datasheet

SST-106 (or SST-105 with clincher, wire guides & wire spools)

52/8s wire stitch head

52/8s wire
stitch head

52/8-S wire stitch heads may be used for booklets up to 10mm (0.39") thick.

A 52/8-S stitch head is part number SST-106. A 52/8S stitch head with clincher, guides and wire spool is part number SST-105. Smart-binders are normally supplied with two 52/8-S stitch heads, ie SST-105-2.

To produce booklets with three stitches then an additional SST-105 wire stitch head (that includes clincher, wire guides and wire spools) is required.

For 2-up booklet production then four stitch heads are required. The two additional stitch heads with clinchers, wire guides and spools are part number SST-105-2.

We recommend customers carry a spare stitch head (ie without clincher, guides, spool) for their Smart-binder, part number SST-106.
