TD-1500B34 Wire Binding Machine, 3:1 Pitch, 15 Sheets Punch, 130 Sheets Bind | 34-Position Disengageable Punch Pins

Overall, I am very pleased with this spiral binding machine. It punches well and easily. With the leverage of the long handle, it is even easier to punch pages than with a standard three-hole punch. It is, however, very heavy. I’m sure this is good in the long run, but at the moment it means finding permanent table space instead of shelf space. The second drawback is that amazon’s AI answer bot told me the machine could punch 2mm chipboard. Nothing that thick will even fit into the machine. It has no problem punching several sheets of cardstock and I look forward to trying it with smaller chipboard.

I bought this for my business and definitely perfect. I love that I can adjust how many holes I want the punch. It is packed well and is very easy to assemble took me only few minutes. It is new so it will have some black oil coming from the blades when you first use it. That is why it came with white cardboard that you have to initially use to get rid of the oil. The blade is pretty sharps I can punch at least 15 pages clean. I use it for laminated cardboard too and it punches clean too, it will leave some hanging laminate plastics sometimes but you can easily pull them out and I think that is normal and pretty common.

I purchased a journal but I wanted more, so I decided to make some. I researched and researched and decided on this one. It is a really nice machine. The problem I have is that you can’t get the double loop wire binding spines larger than 3/4”, and this machine can’t close them If they are larger :-(

I’ve been using this for a few months now to punch holes in cardstock for notebooks. It has held up as well as I’d hoped. It’s pretty straight forward and is exactly what I needed. There has been very little maintenance other than emptying the excess tray on ocassion.

Works perfectly for my medium use business. We don't use it daily but several times a week and it's our main workhorse. It handles everything beautifully and is easy to use.

It works with the proclick spines. However, I still get oil stains on the holes when punching the paper. I've used all the test strips plus extra punches on standard paper but the stains still show up occasionally. Overall, I'm happy with it.

The machine came dented & a piece was broken. The 3:1 pitch round holes it makes are a little small. They won’t match all 3:1 prepunched paper.

I had purchased a binding machine previously but decided to get this one as I could adjust the holes needed, especially if I want to leave a gap in the middle. I would highly recommend this one if you want more versatility with your projects. It is a good brand name to use.

Very well made, sturdy, and works perfectly. Although it is easy to figure things out yourself, it would have been nice to have a proper manual.

Built with metal but awful engineering. Total build quality is terribly bad. Puncher pins engineering is awful. You never want pay $300 for such product. If it was $50, was not bad.
