The first jig is the one where I shoot the staples into the tiltrod. I have the setup that holds the stapler, plus a flip stop that lets me advance the tiltrod. There is a separate part to this setup, it is made like a story pole, and it has dowels inserted into the top that will rest against the flip stop. This piece will hold the tiltrod in place using the tension of a spring. The piece that holds the spring can be moved in set increments to allow for different lengths of tiltrod. I have a total of six of these, that can used with the jig that holds the stapler. I have six because you have to shoot the staples on diferent centers due to the different louver sizes. I have two jigs, for each louver size. We offer 1 3/4" louvers shot on 1 1/2" centers. 2 1/2" louvers shot on 2" centers and 3 1/2" louvers shot on 3" centers. I advance the part holding the tiltrod with my left hand, operate the stapler and the flip stop with the right hand. I can shoot the average 36 to 42" tiltrod in about 20 seconds. This jig is extremely accurate, I only tweak or toss out maybe one in a hundred tiltrods.
