DeLuxe Stitcher M19 Series, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 12 / 48

The wire sizes that can be used on the M19 as well as recommended uses are listed below. Refer to
the Operator’s Manual for the Stitcher Head on your M19 when changing the existing wire size. The
Stitcher Heads are designed to accommodate a specific wire size. Wire gauges smaller than the
specific size for the stitcher head can still be used, but the maximum capacity for that head will not
be reached. For example, a 19x21-1/2 gauge wire head will function properly with 20x24 gauge wire
but the stitching capacity for the Head will drop from 3/4” to approximately 1/2”.
Refer to Figure 5.
Two types of Clincher Points are provided
with the head on the M19. When running
round wire, use the Clincher Points with part
number 7257B. When running flat wire, use
the Clincher Points with part number 7024B.
When stitching stock over 20# it is recommended that
a high tensile wire be used, which is available in
21x25, 20x24 and 19x21-1/2 flat wire sizes. The
high tensile wire may cause increased wear on certain parts.
For any stock over 33# or coated stock it is recommended that 19x21-1/2 flat wire be used. Refer to
Figure 6 for a general overview of suggested wire sizes to use for specific stitch capacities.

wise just enough to allow the work to be withdrawn from the Adjuster Spool, then return the Hand
Wheel to the setting at which the work was clamped.
Anytime the thickness of work changes, a sample should be tested in the M19 so no serious
damage is caused to the machine. If the machine is operated on work thicker than it is set to handle,
damage will result and the stitcher machine will not operate properly.
