Binding Machines

Finding a good quality spiral coil binding machine for a good price, can be difficult. It can be difficult to find a car that is reliable, easy to use and has features that must have a real agreement. But the Achilles CoilMac ECI claims to be all these things. Indeed, it seems to be one of the most popular coil binding machines on the market. I recently went to the store and open one of these machines to see ifCoilmac-ECI is all it claims to be. This review will detail my observations on the characteristics, limitations and construction of the machine.

Organizers:

The first characteristic that I decided to try this machine was the mechanism for punching. The CSE has a manual punching mechanism that is rated for punching up to 17 sheets at a time. When I tried my car I found it comfortable fists between 14-15 sheets per lift. Seventeen sheets20 pounds of paper were possible, but had to pull very hard punch it should. The Coilmac-ECI has no problem punching the covers bright polycovers I tried it. But the punch 2 plastic covers to reduce the skin for a time with this machine.

Secondly, I would have a look at Inserter coil. The machine has two rollers mounted near the front of the machine. There is a switch to turn the coil to and from the Inserter and a foot pedal to activate the spindleInserter. Broadband spin very quickly and help turn the coils on your books. The Inserter CSE to include two permanent magnetic rollers. This makes it very suitable for small spider rolls (larger roles will be inserted by hand). Control pedal is very helpful, gave me my papers with both hands, while I was inserting the coil.

The CSE has had a couple of other features that I thought was remarkable. First, a number of disengageable dies on the front ofmachine. These port allows you to create a PIN punch to handle various sizes of drawing paper. The use of these pins is pulled CSE can be used to drill 8.5 ", 11", A4 and A5 paper. This is a good choice of sizes and fits the needs of most organizations. I also noticed that ECI Coilmac a block of continuous punching guide. This is just a small metal tab that extends from the right side of the machine. If you need a punch documents that are more than 13 "can easilyFlip and place them in a little hole on the sticker on the seat continued punching. This makes it much easier to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure to punch legal size and 11 "x 17" sheets or other large format. With a little ingenuity, you can also use the ECI for punching oversize deck of the liner to the wooden bridge at the end of the fist and pull pin material (this is not a recommended application).

The Coilmac-ECI is also a depth of punch margincontrol that allows you to adjust the spacing of the holes from the edge of the paper. It comes with a pair of spiral coil crimping pliers tool to help you complete your documents. It also has a heavy metal edge guide adjustment button, which makes it easy to line up the documents with a fist.

Limitations:

Using ECI CoilMac not really notice any obvious flaws. However, the paper punching for very large pieces were a bit 'boring and monotonous. Usersthey need to make a binding or great books that I would suggest looking for a power punch. But the version of critical infrastructure, with a handful electrical system nearly $ 1,000 more, depending on size and your budget, this machine will still not be a good match for you.

As I said above, the coil Inserter works without major roles (probably a bit 'larger than 30 millimeters). It is generally integrated input devices. To resolve this problem, you will need to purchasean inserter independent and will still do a great job of books bigger.
The CSE is not ideal for scrapbooking and other applications that the highly personal dimension using the odd page. Unplugging dies at ECI will work for standard sheets big punch, but is not flexible enough to pierce completely custom lengths. If you plan to make you feel the need for more than half letter size (8.5 "), the letter-size (11"), A4, A3 or legal size, you can find a machine with fully disengageabledie.

Built

The construction of this machine is extremely robust and the design is beautiful. In view of the inserter coil near the front of the machine is very useful for the insertion of fine (some machines have enveloping machines top). All metal construction of the device makes it ideal for medium volume applications. The only part that can break with the ICE, is the little clear rubber belt coil operating Inserter. These costsA couple of U.S. dollars and are easy to replace.

Recommendation

With a medium duty manual punch, a high quality electric coil Inserter not hesitate to recommend non CoilMac HEV. If you are a step too far in this machine you will lose your coil Inserter all metal construction and durability. Unless I just needed to tie some documents a week, I give some of these things. If you have a link is not, you could consider thator a modular (separate punch and insert) or a larger system, combined with an electric punch.
