When looking for a high quality coil binding machine, one name you should seek out is Renz. This German based company produces some of the most durable binding equipment around, including the SPB 360 Manual Coil Binding Machine. Here are the strengths (and weaknesses) of this device. Read all about them so you can decide if its the right device for your binding needs.
Strengths:
* One of the most unique things about the SPB 360 is that it s a manual device that can be turned into an electric one with the addition of a modular motor. The motor would be a good thing to purchase if you want a machine that will work quickly and allow you to produce a lot of documents.
* This device has the ability to punch up to 20 sheets of paper at just one time. This is a pretty good punching capacity and it will enable you to get your documents punched rather quickly. You ll be able to punch items that are up to 14.2 inches long, including legal sized paper (8.5 x 14 ).
* The binding capacity of this device is pretty good because it can bind books containing a maximum of 170 pages. Thus, it s good for short to mid length documents. The maximum size of coil this machine can work with is 20 mm.
* The SPB 360 is one of the few coil binders on the market to feature a D shaped handle. The inclusion of this part makes this machine ideal for both right and left handed users. (Most binding devices seem to have the handle on the right side of machine which is really inconvenient for southpaws.)
* This device has a built in cutting and crimping apparatus. This is a wonderful addition and one that will help you save some time. You also won t need to purchase crimping pliers, so that will save you about $50.00.
* If you re concerned about the SPB 360 taking up a lot of room, you ll be relieved to hear that it isn t too big. It only measures 17.3 (length) x 19.2 (width) x 9.8 (height).
* The SPB 360 has a limited one year warranty. It s also well constructed so it can be used a lot without any problems.
Weaknesses:
o If you wish to use the SPB 360 as an electrical device, you ll have to shell out some extra money for it. The motor will cost you a fair bit of money (over $1,000.00) so you ll need to think about it the motor is necessary or not.
o It s disappointing that this device isn t compatible with all sizes of coils. A 170 page binding capacity is good enough for some users, but if you need to work with longer documents, you ll need to choose a different machine.
Overall, the Renz SPB 360 is a pretty solid choice if you need a coil binding machine. You ll just need to be sure that you re comfortable with the device s binding capacity and that you re sure you won t need to bind longer documents. If the binding capacity works for you, you ll find that this machine will give you a great way to produce professional looking documents.
