Welcome to MyBinding video. This is a look at the CoilMac ECI Plus, an oval-hole coil binding machine by Akiles. Sturdy, efficient, and easy to use, the ECI+ is a great binding system. Let's watch it in action.

Set the margin control knob so that all punches throughout your whole project will be consistent. Open as many of the disengageable die pins as you need to in order to assure there are no half holes within your project. And because of its open throat design, the ECI+ can handle almost any size document. The punch margin control knob allows you to select between two sizes, making your margins stronger or easier to use with larger projects. Pull down the lever arm and make your punch. Continue punching through the rest of the pages in your project, up to 17 sheets of 20lb paper per lift.

When you're all punched, it's time to organize and bind. All CoilMac machines come with a coil diameter selector. This is just a simple tool whereby you can judge the size of coil that you'll need for your project. One side you measure your project and get your reading. Set the other side, and select your coil according to that size. The oval holes cut by this machine make threading on the coil much easier. Once threaded, use the hand or foot pedal to engage the roller and slide the coil just along the spine. Finish your book off by crimping both ends with coil crimping pliers. And we have a how to video for this if you need it. That's it. That's the CoilMac ECI+ by Akiles. For more demos, reviews, and how to's 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.

Works great! Thanks!

Great machine/ Great Company

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.

Heavy Duty Machine

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.

Excellent choice for a small office or occasional user

Akiles CoilMac ECI+ Coil Binding Machine Review

If you're looking for a coil binding machine, you should take a look at the Akiles CoilMac ECI+. Here's all you need to know about this machine.

Shere are the srengths:

The CoilMac ECI+ has a good punching capacity. It can punch up to 17 sheets of 20 lb. bond paper at a time so you'll be able to get the punching part of the process done rather quickly.
This device has a maximum punching length of 13 inches. While this isn't quite long enough for legal-sized documents, binding letter-sized (8.5" x 11") ones won't be any trouble at all. This machine is equipped with an open throat and a full set of disengageable dies so you can work with other sizes of documents.
The CoilMac ECI+ is compatible with 4:1 pitch spiral coils. This device punches oval holes that make it easier for the pages to be turned once your document is bound. The maximum binding capacity is 7/8" so you'll be able to bind some very thick documents.
Punching your pages right the first time is always a good thing and it's easy to do with this machine's margin depth control feature. Using this feature will help you create stronger documents with tear-resistant pages.
This machine has an electric coil inserter that makes it incredibly easy to bind your documents. It's operated by a foot pedal and works quickly so you can move on to other projects. There's also a coil selector guide so you can choose the right supplies.
Finally, the CoilMac ECI+ is very well-built and will no doubt stand up to years of use thanks to its metal construction. However, it does come with a one-year warranty just in case something does happen.

And now the weaknesses:

The Coil Mac ECI+ is a large device so it may not be suitable for smaller workspaces. Also, this isn't the most aesthetically pleasing machine around but this is one time when function should be placed about form.
This device's punching handle is located on the right side of the machine. This is fine for right-handed people, but left-handed users may wish the handle was in a different location.
Finally, the CoilMac ECI+ is only compatible with coil spines. You'll need to use a different device if you want to work with plastic combs and other binding elements.

Overall, the Akiles CoilMac is a great choice for anyone wanting to reaps the benefits of coil binding. It has a good punching capacity and you'll be surprised at how quickly it can bind your documents. The strengths of this device far outweigh the weaknesses, so considering getting one today.
