Welcome to MyBinding video. Let's have a look at the Akiles OffiWire, a manual wire binding machine. Designed for low volume wire binding needs, the OffiWire is a great machine. This is the side margin control knob that you set so that all punches are consistent throughout your whole project. Using scratch paper, make sure your punch is correct and off you go. With your covers, push them all the way to the back of the throat and make your punch. And continue to do so through the rest of your project, punching in batches of ten sheets of 20lb paper or less. When all is punched, assemble your project together and choose your wire. Use the measuring tool groove on the front to establish exactly what size wire you need. Then drape your wire inside the holder, all the teeth facing up. A little trick in wire binding to hide the final seam is to take the back cover and bring it over to face the front cover. Then drape the whole project in one or smaller batches over the teeth of the wire. All set, slide it out from the side. You'll need to adjust both turn dials back to set it according to the size wire you're using. That way the stop doesn't go any further than needed. For some, turning the machine around to get a better view of the settings is helpful. With the opening, or the ?C" shape of the wire, place it down into the groove and pull the lever down, all the way until it stops. And there it is, your book is all done. The seam is hidden between the back cover and the back page and you've got a great looking book. And all of the punches can be disposed from the small tray on the right-hand side. That's the Akiles OffiWire. For more demos, reviews, and how tos on this product and many more, check out MyBinding.com.
Love the machine I purchased! The only tiny complaint is that I didn't receive a shipping notice with tracking. I had to contact the company, but they sent it by email in just a few minutes. I would buy from this company again.

I’m so glad I found this machine!! It punches through my chipboard covers to make my journals. It seems very durable and well made. I Know it seems like a lot of money but, it’s well worth it. I’ve tried the other machines that are cheaper on Amazon and they just don’t do the job like this one does. You won’t be disappointed.

I have not had much time to play around with it yet, but it is built like a tank and seems to be a very solid machine that is pretty easy to use. I have no experience with coil binding, yet my first attempt went really well. I didn't realize I needed to order the coil crimper separately, so with my trial run I used a pair of needle nose pliers and managed okay - promptly ordered the crimpers though and a couple larger sized coils. I believe this will provide much more functional binding for us in comparison to the comb binding that we were using.
