Coil binding, often called spiral binding, is a good looking and near indestructible binding format. The PVC plastic coils that are used with modern-day coil binding bends and flexes with use, maintaining its original integrity at all times. If this is a binding format you would like to use, which is currently the top self-binding format used today, then you may want to look at a high-quality machine like the Akiles CoilMac-ER Plus. This is a review.

Akiles is near synonymous in the binding industry with quality and perfection. Their binding machines not only have a classy industrial \”cast iron\” look to them, but they are proven time and time again to hold up with daily continuous use. The CoilMac line of coil binding machines are the most popular coil binding machines used today. So what sets the CoilMac-ER Plus apart from the rest?

The CoilMac-ER Plus is actually a fairly recent incarnation of the original CoilMac-ER. What\’s the difference? There are a few subtle yet important differences. First of, the Plus version of the CoilMac-ER punches paper using oval instead of round holes. Akiles is the first to incorporate this hole pattern into their machines. According to Akiles, and those who use the Plus coil binding machines, the coils actually spin through the oval holes more easily than round holes. This makes binding faster and more seamless. It is also supposed to help make page turns easier.

What else separates the Plus version from the standard? The Plus version has disengageable punching pins on each of the 54 holes. The standard version only has 5 disengageable punching pins. This means you can engage or disable any hole you want. Why is this beneficial? Because you can now easily bind small or large books without risking a half-punched hole on the edge of the paper. This is a big deal.

The CoilMac-ER Plus has a 20 sheet punching capacity when using 20# bond paper. The machine has an overall punching width of 13\”. Because it is open ended, longer sheets can be punched as well. Thanks to the selectable dies, books as small as a few inches can be bound.

The binding process on teh CoilMac-ER Plus is actually pretty easy. First of, be aware that this machine uses a 4:1 pitch hole pattern. This means four holes are punched for every inch of paper. Once you have finished punching your paper with the manually actuated punching lever, you can insert a coil into the first 3-4 holes. Once you have done this, use the built-in electric coil inserter to spin the coils through the rest of the way. Once the coil is through, you can use the coil crimping pliers to crimp off excess coil, preventing the coil from spinning back out.

This machine can be used to bind calendars, cookbooks, scrapbooks, manuals, presentations, reports and much more. Simply put, coil binding looks great and is very easy to use. This machine is great for use in businesses, schools, churches and even at home. You will find the Akiles CoilMac-ER Plus at ABCOffice.com.
