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.

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.
