Niserts offer advantages to plastic inserts.
By Foster Needle Company
Manitowoc, WI
Niserts are Foster Needle?s patented metallic needle board inserts. Made from spring steel, the Nisert offers many advantages to the plastic inserts. The Nisert is designed as two springs. The outer spring holds the Nisert in the needle Board. The inner spring holds the needle to the Nisert. Some of the advantages of Niserts:

Extended needle board life
Needle boards cost a lot of money. Niserts extend the life of this investment. Plastic inserts put stress on the inside diameter of a needle board. Plastic inserts must be made so that they are bigger than the needle board hole. Sometimes it can be very difficult pounding and hammering the plastic inserts into the needle board. This pressure can result in the needle board actually growing and stretching. This stretching will cause misalignment over and extended time. Because the outside and inside of the Nisert is designed as a spring, the amount of pressure on the inside of the needle board holes is minimal, but adequate. The useful life of the needle board will be greatly extended.

Better needle alignment.
The Nisert's outer spring always secures itself in perfect alignment with the hole of the needle board. This results in less needle breakage and reduced needle marks on the fabric surface.

Longer Life
The Nisert can last years in a needle board. Plastic inserts last weeks or months.

Less Needle Breakage
As plastic inserts wear, the needle becomes loose and the needle will enter the fabric at an angle. This will cause needle breakage, needle marks on the fabric surface and downtime. Needle alignment is always perfect with Niserts, resulting in reduced needle breakage.

The advantages of metallic Niserts are greater than ever. If your needle boards are drilled for inserts, you should be using Niserts.
