With so many great binding methods available, settling on one can be difficult. That s why there are combination machines such as the Tamerica Versabind, a device that offers three different ways to finish your documents. Here s what s great about this product, as well as a brief look at what could be improved.
What s great:
* The Versabind gives you three different ways of binding your documents. Depending on what your project requires, you can do comb, wire, and spiral coil binding. When using this device for wire binding, you ll be able to use both 3:1 and 2:1 pitch wire spines. To switch between methods, all you need to do is swap out the dies using Tamerica s EZ Slide die system.
* In addition to several different sets of punch dies, this machine has the following features that are necessary for finishing off your documents: a comb spreader, a wire clamp and closer, and a coil channel.
* This machine has a decent punching capacity: it can punch up to 20 sheets of 20 lb. bond paper per lift. It can punch paper that s up to 14 long for the comb and wire methods, and 13 paper for the coil one.
* As for binding capacities, the Versabind is compatible with 2 combs, 50 millimeter coils, and 1.25 wire spines.
* All 24 of this machine s punching pins are disengageable so you can work with documents that are smaller or larger than letter size (8.5 x 11 ).
* When you use this device, you ll be able to take advantage of its depth adjustment control. This feature allows you to control where the holes are punched in relation to the edge of the paper, resulting in documents that are bound more securely.
* The Versabind is compatible with just about any plastic comb and wire/coil spine out there, so finding supplies will be very easy.
* This device has all metal construction which makes it durable, as well as suitable for fairly heavy use. It comes with a limited one year warranty.
What could be improved:
* To be honest, the Versabind looks rather intimidating even though it s easy to use once you get the hang of it. If you re a bit put off by its appearance, just give it a chance and you ll find that using it isn t really that difficult.
* The punching/binding handle is located on the machine s right side, so left handed users might find operating this device to be challenging.
* This device is pretty large, so be prepared to make some room for it. Its dimensions are as follows: 22.2 (width) x 27.4 (depth) x 14.0 (height). Plus, it weighs 90 pounds, so ask someone to help you is you ever need to move it.
In a nutshell, the Tamerica Versabind is the device to get if your company needs a combination binding machine. Despite its intimidating appearance, this product is easy to use, so just about anyone can learn how to operate it. Plus, it offers three binding methods, all metal construction, and the ability to choose where your holes are punch. So if you need a device to help you bind books in a variety of ways, the Versabind is what you need.
