Akiles DuoMac 521 and 421 Wire Binding Machine Review
The Akiles DuoMac 521 and 421 binding machines are heavy-duty, multi-format book making machines that are built to improve operator performance and to meet nearly any kind of book binding need. They are designed to eliminate the need of having two independent machines by combining multipel machines into one. This article will cover the pros and cons of both.
The Akiles DuoMac machines accommodate the various types of binding needs by being able to complete comb binding or twin-wire loop binding with one machine. Notebooks, proposals, journals, ledgers, business reports and other fixed-page documents can be bound with twin-wire loop binding to make sure that all the pages remain secure. Meanwhile, projects that will have pages added, like employee manuals, guides, manuscripts and other booklets can be quickly and easily bound with a comb binding.

The depth and side margin controls on these book binders make it so punches are placed in the optimal spot along the margin to increase stability and reduce tearing along the bind. These have individually disengagable punching dies that can be customized to match the paper size, and has the force to punch through a stack of 20 sheets of paper.
After the holes have been punched through the entire document, the operator can use the master selector, found on the macine iteself, to identify the correct twin loop wire diameter, as well as the closing position for the binding project. These binding machines also have a feature that will hold the wire in place as it is inserted in the document. The comb opener and wire closer will take care of the rest with a simple pull of the handle.
