Stable Stapling
by Kate O'Brien
No more splitting or marring wood
floors. The MarkIII Pneumatic Floor
Stapler automatically positions and
drives 1½-inch or 2-inch coated
staples at the proper angle and depth
for hardwood strip floors. Setting the
machine squarely against the work
correctly aligns the angle of the
staple. Tapping the top of the stapler
with a mallet activates the driving
mechanism. An adjustable bumper
controls the depth of staple
penetration. For more information,
contact Stanley-Bostitch, Inc., East
Greenwich, R.I. 02818;

flanges are then mudded over with
