Rhin-O-Tuff HD7000 Onyx 14" Open-Ended Table Top Electric Punch

Welcome to MyBinding video. This is the all-new Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx HD7000, a 14-inch open-ended punch system. In this video, we'll open the box, see what's inside, and put it all together. The entire Onyx line is solid metal and heavy duty, be sure to have some help in pulling it out of the box. Inside the chip tray you'll find handles, all-in-one oil, the power cord, the foot pedal, as well as the reverse knob. Assembly begins with the handles. Remove from their bag and one goes on each side, spinning them all the way in until they're locked shut. It's with these handles you'll lock and unlock the punch die. The machine plugs in on the back side, both for the power cord and the foot pedal. For the Onyx HD7000, release the handles and slide the die right in from the right-hand side, all the way in and lock the handles by lifting them up. Be sure they snap closed. The adjustable knob on the front is the side margin control knob, or the paper stop. Finally, should you need it, remove the cap on the front and this is where the reverse knob goes in. An additional option to the HD7000 is the Palm switch. This would replace the foot pedal and allow you from the top, as you're working with your paper, to initiate the punch. There it is, that's the revealing and the assembly of the all-new Onyx HD7000 by Rhin-O-Tuff. For more demos, reviews, and how-tos, check out MyBinding.com.

Welcome to MyBinding video. This is the all-new Onyx HD7000 by Rhin-O-Tuff. Using a 4:1 coil punch die, let's watch the HD7000 in action. With your project assembled and in order, let's do some test sheets. Drop the papers in the throat, slide to the left, and press the button. Pull the papers out and see how it worked. At this point, you can adjust the side margin control knob, or the paper stop, set it in place so that your entire project is consistently punched throughout. A very effective way of checking is to fold the paper over, line up the corners, and see are the holes lined up as well. Should you have any half holes or need to remove any punch pins, simply slide out the die, depress the pin carriage, pull out the pin capture, remove any pins and all pins that you need, replace the pin capture, and reload the die.

For punching on the HD7000, you can use the included foot pedal or add the Versa switch or Palm switch. With the paper stop and switches in place, we're ready to punch the project. Split your book into smaller batches. The HD7000 can punch up to 40 sheets of 20lb paper per punch. And systematically punch through all your project until you are finished. Gather everything together, it will be time to bind. In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the Onyx HD7000 has a reverse feature. The first thing to do is to power down the machine with the switch in the back, and then remove the chip tray by lifting it up and out. Take the reverse knob that came with the machine and remove the small cover over the access hole.  The knob goes inside the hole, snaps into place, and turning in a clockwise direction will reverse the pins. To guide yourself, you can look just to the left of the paper stop, down inside, and you can see the pins retracting as you turn the wheel. When they're fully retracted, you can remove your paper. And with your book successfully punched, bind away. There it is, you're on your way to binding a great many books with the Onyx HD7000.
