Everything There Is To Know About Screw Posts Video

Transcript : Welcome to MyBinding video. This is everything you need to know about Screw Posts. When using screw posts, there is no support to keep your pages straight, so we recommend using a thicker cover to help it from bending easily. They can be good for binding other materials, such as leather, which is thick and can't be used in a punch machine. You can find sizes of posts ranging from 1/8" to 5" and we offer aluminum posts, brass posts, black, gold, white plastic and black plastic. There are also extensions so you can use your smaller posts on the occasional larger project. They are made to fit int ...

Questions & Answers

Unfortunately, the screw post heads are less than 1/2" in diameter, and they have a flat screw end, not pointed. Unfortunately, the is the only style we offer.

That's a good question! For the 5/8" (any size) screw post the minimum is 5/8", but the screw can be losened up to about 6/8". Then you'll run into how lose you want your project. In that case, I would suggest looking into screw post extensions: https://www.mybinding.com/aluminum-screw-post-extensions-100pk.html

Thank you for your question. This product comes with both sides of the screw post. However they the #8-32 would not fit within this particular post.

Screw posts can be flush with the paper that it binds. So that means it can hold from 180 to 220 sheets depending on how thick the paper is you are using. This is a rough estimate. We can always send samples if you want to test before you place your order.

Thank you for your question. It would depend on the thickness/weight of the paper you are using. For standard 20# copier a 3/4" screwpost should work. In general the best way to "fit" a screw post to the document is to measure the thickness of your document and buy a screwpost that matches that thickness. This "trick" doesn't work with other binding styles but it does with screwposts.
