Standard HSS:
Made of high quality steel.
Suitable for offset- and copier paper.
Teflon:
Made of high quality steel with a teflon coating.
Reduces the warming up of the drills by friction during drilling of light plastic coated material.
The smooth teflon coating prefends sticking and static clinging of the material to the paper drill.
Especially suitable for plastic, rubber and elastic products.
HartChrom:
Made of high quality steel with a smooth chrome coating.
The smooth and hard coating reduces the problem of sticking of the material to the drill and has a 3 times longer durability.
Especially suitable for plastic, foil and coated material.
Top:
Made of high quality steel and coated with tungsten/ carbide.
Suitable for offset- en copier paper and cardboard.
The extra hard coating reduces burrs and wear and tear, so the drill last 3 to 4 times longer then a standard paper drill.
Titan:
Made of high quality steel and coated with titanium.
Especially suitable for plastic, foil and coated material.
The smooth and hard coating reduces the problem of sticking of the material to the drills and has a 3 times longer durability.
Topslide:
Made of high quality steel with a coating of a combination of tungsten-, carbide- and teflonparticles.
Extremely suitable for drilling of coated paper and cardboard.
The extreme hardness reduces burrs and the chance of the drill becomming to warm and friction by the material.
Extra long durability.
HartCrown:
Made of high quality steel with on top an extra welded layer of full-hardmetal.
This extra layer is grinded with a special diamant grindingtool, so this drill will last 10 to 15 times longer then a standard HSS drill!
Especially for large production and big drillingsystems.
Special dimensions:
Besides the usual lengths (normal, L and XL), we also have paperdrills with shorter lengths.
You can find these in our webshop under Standard quality (from 2 mm to 9 mm) with the extension XS.
Do you prefer a different coating of this shorter drill, please contact us.
In the quality Standard, Top, Teflon, Titan, Topslide we also have XXL drills, simpel to order through our webshop!
Wenn the paper drills start to beep during drilling, we advise to drill along a waxpaper on top of the material. This extends the durability of your paper drills.
Most brands of paperdrillingmachines have a standard fitting of the paper drill:
Brands:
Hang®, Nagel®, Stago®, Dürselen®, Uchida®, Muro®, Iram®, Kobold®, Concord®, Venus®, Babs®, Morgano®, Pesche® e.a.
Other fittings are:
Lihit:
Spinnit, Funditor, Challenger:
Soag/Nyren:
SPC:
The drills in our webshop have a standard fitting.
Do you prefer another fitting (for example Lihit), please contact us (by contactform of telephone).
To extend the durability of your drills, it is also impotant to change the plastic cutting sticks regularly.
Because there are so many different sizes and sorts, we did not place them in our webshop. Of course you can order these by telephone!
Practical and economical in use are the cutting sticks of cardboardband on a roll which can be supplied with different types of models of Hang®.
Selection in paper drilling machines
In our assortment you will find an extensive choice of paperdrilling machines of the reputable brand HANG® for drilling of 1, 2 or more holes.
The program contains from a hand-operated 2 head machine to a paperdrillingsystem for example loose-leaf (diary) systems.

Because of the possibilities and specials it is not possible to put this in a webshop.
We gladly advise you and find a custom made paperdrillsystem.
If necessary, trade-in is negotiable.
Why choose a wirestitcher?
The advantace of a wirestitchting machine, which uses stitchting wire, compared to a staplingmachin, which uses preformed staples, not only is the price per stitching:
- Stitchingwire is significantly cheaper than preformed staples.
- Stitchingheads are adjustable depending the stitchingthickness, so there are no different preformed staples needed
- Continuity of the productionprocess because of the many (kilo)meters of wire. You don't have to refill often
Depending your wishes, most machines can be supplied in a "round wire" or "flat wire" version.
Also on most of the machines there is a possibility for loopstitching; either as a separate stitchinghead or with a conversionkit (spare parts) from normal flat stitching to loopstitchting
On the other hand the purchase prcice of a wirestitcher is higher than a staplingmachine with preformed staples.
We advise you when buying a machine to reckon with the finishing/closure of the staple....
Do you prefer a normal staple or better a "flat" staple which is space-saving?
This has to do with the type of clincher on the machine.
There are 2 types of clinchers:
-
Solid clinchers give a closure with round bend legs.
Advantage: no fast wear and tear -
Movable clinchers give a flat closure
Advantage: space-saving. The wirestitchingmachines in our assortment are, exept for one, all suited for block- and brochurestitching.
The machines with 1 stitchinghead are also suitable for simple cornerstitching.
Which type of stitcher head?
The assorment of stitchingheads of FAST 'N FINISH is no doubt the biggest on the market.
We not only supply stitchingheads of the brands Hohner, DeLuxe (late Bostitch) and Interlake, but also offer substitute stitchingheads for Müller Martini.
"SWIVEL STYLE" STITCHINGHEAD
Brands of these traditional stitchinghead are DeLuxe (late Bostitch), Magnatek, M2000, Champion, Acmé and Interlake.
Available in 3 types; one for round wire and one for flat wire and one for loopstitching.
Nowadays the "round wire" version is supplied with a magnetic swivel. This gives a better performance and less wear and tear.
STITCHINGHEAD WITH SIDE-FEED
This new type of stitchinghead is more secure than the "swivel style" stitchinghead and has less moving (wear and tear) parts. Consequently you can maintain the head easily by yourself and the maintenance cost stay limited.
SUBSTITE HEADS FOR MÜLLER MARTINI
DeLuxe (late Bostitch) produces substitue heads for Müller Martini type HK75V, HK75 and HK45. These heads are of a superb quality!
Also the parts of the stitching heads of DeLuxe (type DB75V, type DB75 and type DB45) are interchangeable.
You can pass us the usual "Müller"-partnumbers; we know exactly what you need. Please also see tab Tech. Schema's.
Did you already know that we supply repairkits for all brands/types of stitchingheads with spare parts which are subject to wear and tear?

Often the coloured stitchingwire doens'nt work very nice on Hohner stitchingheads because during stitching the coating was damaged; a thorn in the eye of a accurate finisher.
**NEW**NEW**NEW**
Due to a new granule it is now possible to process the coloured stitchingwire on HOHNER® stitchingheads....
... and if this is nog enough....

NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN ORANGE !
Can't you find the stitchingwire (like tinned wire) or the spoolsize you use in our webshop?
Or do you use large quantities(over 500 Kgs)?
Please contact one of our stitching specialists.
Information about (carton closing) staples
Also for cartonclosing equipment the quality of the staples is very important.
Besides this it is important that staples with the right crown (width) and staplelength are being used.
Parts of a staple:
Differtent types of eyelets, rivets, grommets and why?
|
|
|
|
| eyelets iron/nickled | eyelets iron/brassed | colourde eyelets (iron powdercoated) |
Everyone has its own name for it:
One calls it pasporteyes, notaryeyes or just eyes, the other shoelacerings.
In Germany they call it Ösen and in English Eyelets.
Because there are (especially in Dutch) a lot of different names for it, we choose to use the English term; eyelets.
Besides the enormous assortment of eyelets, there is similar metalware which we would like to line up:
|
|
Grommet, bannereyes, fasteningeyes, tenteyes.... in dutch we have a lot of names for it. The English just keep it simple; Grommets. In fact these are big eyelets, with or without a matching ring (a washer). These grommets are used a lot in the SIGN-branch. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Rivets with calotte | Rivets with coloured calotte | Rivets without calotte | Double rivets |
Rivets (In Germany they call it Hohlnieten, Engels Rivets) are, eyelets with a longer shaft and have in general a calotte (so these are closed). However there rivets without a calotte (to make it easier). Special version is the double rivet which looks like a press-button.
|
|
Finally we also have the rivets(in Germany: Rohrnieten and in Engeland: Rivets). Though the Englisch don't make a difference between rivets and rivets,it is sertainly there! A rivet is on the bottom of the shaft cut of straight, while a rivet is "drawn", so slightly tapered and so at the bottom end a little less thick is as on top. Also eyelets and bannereyes are "drawn" so these roll easier while pressing. |
An oil free compressor or one with oil?
Besides pressure every machine which is pneumatically driven or components are built in which work with airpressure, need a certain amount of air to work properly.
The airvolume needed is being measured in "liters per minut" (l/min) and depends of the size of the pneumatic tool and workingspeed.
The airvolume needed per stroke is usually clearly indicated in the technical specification of the tool.
The airvolume and pressure are important for purchasing the right compressor.
Besides this ther are some points of importance:
-
Oilfree compressor or just a lubricated one?
Lubricated compressors need (compressor)oil and one has to check the oillevel regularly.
These compressors are more durable than the oilfree ones and especially suitable for longlasting, heavy use.
Oilfree compressors take less maintenance, are especially suitable for smaller volumes and can be used on slopes (where lubricated ones can have difficulties with the oilcirculation). -
Which motorsize?
Pneumatic tools used with a low workingspeed, can be used with almost every compressor.
When the workingspeed increases, the pneumatic tool needs more air and with the connection of a second tool the needed air can even double of triple!
