Welcome to MyBinding video. Today we look at the CoilMac ECI, an electric coil binding machine by Akiles. Heavy duty, yet simple and efficient, the CoilMac can handle a lot of binding. Let's bind a book and watch it in action. First, you set the side margin control knob so that all punches are consistent throughout your entire project. Next, disengage any of the five disengageable die pins so there are no half holes punched on all standard sized documents. With this knob, you can control the depth of the margin of the punch for your project so it best fits your size coil. It's always wise to use scrap paper for your first punch. Once it's all set, begin with the covers, putting the spine side in first and make your punches. Continue on with the rest of your project, punching holes in all the papers, up to 17 sheets of 20lb paper per lift. Now it's time to assemble your project together and bind it. Start by threading a coil through the first few holes of one end. Then use the hand or foot pedal to engage the inserter. Let the coil spin all the way through your document until it hangs out on both ends. And then crimp both ends with coil crimping pliers. That's it. That's the CoilMac ECI by Akiles.
