Examining the Akiles Wiremac M Manual Double Loop Wire Binding Machine
What makes a manual binding system a success? The Akiles WireMac M goes a long way toward answering that question. The WireMac M is a basic twin loop wire binding machine, constructed with the highest quality materials, making it extremely durable and a much better unit than any of the plastic binding systems that you find available in the market now. It's a great machine at an equally great value.
The WireMac M's unique and superior features begin with its manufacturer, the Akiles company, famous for excellent binding equipment with solid construction. The WireMac M is simple to operate and is versatile enough to come in 2 models; a 2:1 pitch or a 3:1 pitch machine. All of this and more, makes it one of the best-selling manual, twin loop wire binding machines available now.
With a double-step punching process, the open-throated design and completely disengageable dies give the Wiremac M the ability to bind books as short as a few inches in length and as long a 17." This binding system works on a variety of document sizes, including legal, letter and half letter sized projects. In addition, the WireMac M stands out from the competition by including a simple-to-adjust, durable wire closer that will not slip as time goes on. The WireMac M also includes a double handled design as one of its features, causing it to be even more effective and durable by separating the two mechanisms for both punching and wire-closing.
You can choose the Wiremac M model that best suits you needs. Either the 3:1 pitch model (for 3 holes per inch) or the 2:1 pitch model (for 2 holes per inch) are available. The 2:1 pitch machine works great for larger documents between 5/8" and 1 ¼" thick and the 3:1 pitch machine is just right for smaller documents, between 3/16" and 9/16" thick. Additionally, you can order special wires to bind these smaller documents using the 2:1 pitch machine. The 3:1 pitch machine can also use 3:1 pitch spiral coil to create a different appearance.
The WireMac M has some versatility and gives you some unique size options, but there is a limit to the sizes available to bind on this machine - It all depends on your pitch selection. If you want to create thick documents and thin documents, upgrading to the WireMac Duo may be the best option, giving you the ability to bind with both 2:1 and 3:1 pitch wire.
The clamp-like wire holder on the machine can be hard to use if you compare it with hook-style wire hangers included in many larger binding systems. The good news is that it gets easier to use with a bit of practice. One great tip to remember is not to let the wire become stretched or compressed when you place it on the clamp holder. Another less-than-ideal feature is the WireMac M's closer. The closer is on the back of the machine, making it hard to move from the front closer without pages falling out of the stack. Other larger wire-binders are designed with the closer up front fore easier use. Especially high-volume applications are probably better with an electric punch machine, rather than the WireMac M's manual mechanism, which is better for smaller to medium-sized projects.
Akiles is known for solid, durable construction and the WireMac M is no exception to this reputation. The binder is very well designed with all-metal components, built to last and to be effective for a very long time. Although the WireMac M has a one-year-long warranty, its not something that will likely ever be used - its just that well-made. So for smaller or mid-sized companies that do a good deal of binding work, the WireMac M is an excellent choice for its simplicity and reliability. With helpful features at a good price, the WireMac M is an excellent base-level machine for buyers searching for an effective twin loop wire binder.
