HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER STAPLE LEG SIZE
In choosing the proper staple leg length for a job there are two basic things
to consider:
1. Thickness of material to be stapled.
2. Hardness of the wood.
As a general rule, in hardwood, approximately 3/16" to 1/4" penetration
into the wood is sufficient...and for softwood – up to approximately 3/8"
should be sufficient. However, if the staple used “stands away” from the
work – this means that too long a leg length has been used. In that case
we recommend the next shorter leg length for desired results.
