Rhin-O-Tuff ONYX 4000PLUS Heavy Duty Punch

Welcome to MyBinding video. This is the Onyx 4000 Plus, an 11-inch open-ended interchangeable punch by Rhin-O-Tuff. Backed by a solid three-year warranty, this is a great punch. Step-by-step, let's watch it in action. For this video, we'll use spiral coil. However, there are dies made for wire and plastic combs as well. The side margin control knob is solid, sturdy and will not let you down. The markings on the die as well as the machine itself help you measure exactly the right size you need. To initiate the punch, you use the pedal, either by foot or by hand. Using this scratch paper, we can see that our holes are lined up. There are no half-holes or mispunched holes. But, oftentimes, adjustments must be made for different size papers or different styles of projects. Simply remove the two screws on the front of the machine and out pops the die. And this is where Rhin-O-Tuff's interchangeable die system is in full effect. Not only can you change dies but every single pin in each die is fully disengageable. Simply removing this top bar and selecting any pin that you'd like, it slides right out. The entire die is labeled so selection of the right pin is very easy. They slide in and out with great ease. Replace the carriage, slide the die back in the machine, lock it down and you're on your way. Beginning with the covers of this project, we'll make our first punch. You'll find that everything is just the way that we like it. You can continue through an entire project, making punch after punch of up to 20 sheets of 20-pound paper in a single punch. With everything punched and ready to go, assemble your project together, it's time to bond. With spiral coil, you initiate the coil on to the spine and by hand by twisting it right through the holes. And you can continue to do so all the way through by hand or use the coil inserter. And, finally, with a pair of coil crimping pliers, crimp one end and then the other, and you're all set. These pliers both cut and crimp the ends so it does not come apart. And that's it. That's the Onyx 4000 Plus by Rhin-O-Tuff. For more demos, reviews and how-tos, check out MyBinding.com.
