A lot of small or home based businesses often find that, in order to

keep costs down, they might need to start looking into doing their own

document binding. If you are in the market for a spiral coil binding

machine that will see relatively light use, you may want to take a look

at the Akiles Rubicoil. It's a fine entry-level machine that can see a

lot of projects through. Here is a close look at this machine's pluses

and minuses, along with a final recommendation.

Pros:

The price. At less than two hundred

dollars this is one of the most affordable coil binders on the market.

If you are just getting started binding your own documents, the

Rubicoil is a great place to start, allowing you to get your feet wet

without getting soaked.This machine is "hand neutral"

meaning that it is as easy for left handers to use as it is for

righties. Believe it or not, most coil binding machines handles are

located on the right side of the machine, making it pretty difficult

for lefties to comfortably use them.The steel dies that the

Rubicoil uses are pretty hardy, and pack a pretty good punch, as it

were. Able to punch up to ten sheets of normal 20lb paper, or up to two

clear cover sheets. This is pretty good capacity for the price. If

you judge by the product photos you see in catalogs or the web, you

might get the idea that the Rubicoil is of plastic construction. You

will be pleasantly surprised, however, to find out that it is made of

metal and more durable than it might appear. We're not saying that you

are going to be finding it on any major production floors, but for

light duty, it should fit the bill just fine.
