Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx OD4012 11" Electric Punch

Welcome to MyBinding video. Let's have a look at the all-new Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx OD4012, an 11-inch open-ended punch. In this video, we'll open the box, take the machine out, set it up, and give you an orientation. All Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx punches are very heavy, so get some help to pull it out of the box. Remove this tape that protects the clear cover to the chip tray. The main box contains two other boxes; the larger of the two contains the die that came with your machine. Open it up and slide it into the machine. You do so here on the left-hand side, sliding it all the way flush and locking it down. The second box contains the foot pedal, the power cord, some oil, and a manual reverse knob. The power cord and the foot pedal plug into the back of the machine. At this point, you're ready for your first project. On the front of the machine is the paper stop, or side margin control knob. This you lock into place so that all punches are consistent throughout your entire project. Place some scrap paper down into the throat of the machine, press the foot pedal, let's see how it looks. For great binding, the holes should line up and be centered. A great test is to fold the paper over corner to corner and see if in fact the holes do line up. Before making any adjustments to the die to correct errors, turn the machine off. Loosen the screws on the front and remove the die. Since all Rhin-O-Tuff die pins are disengageable, you can do so by depressing the pin carriage, removing the pin capture, and now line up the paper along the die to see which one to remove. And simply pull it up and out, any and all. Replace the pin capture, and load the die back into your Onyx OD4012 and lock it down. Give it another punch, another test, and you're all set to go. Now you're set to punch through your book and then bind it.

Within the Onyx series, there's a number of different options for binding. For speed and space efficiency, many of them will fit right on top of the Onyx OD4012, making it easy to finish your project one step right after the other. All Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx punches come with a patented auto-reverse feature. As you work, features inside the machine keep it from jamming. However, there may be a situation where you need to turn the machine off and reverse it manually, using this knob. Remove this little cap from the left side of the machine and place the knob inside that hole. It fits right on the threads and the, by turning it counter clockwise, will reverse the pins, bring them back into the machine, and you can pull out your paper. And that is the Rhin-O-Tuff Onyx OD4012. For more demos, reviews, and how-tos, check out MyBinding.com.
