The Tamerica 46E is one of our most popular binding machines that we sell. It has a sleek design and it’s fully electric, so it’s easy to see why.
Before you start any project, you will want do a test page. If you are using letter sized paper, all you have to do is center the page and align the edge guides to both edges. In this position it should be perfectly aligned for this size.
If it’s not, or you are using a different size, use the left edge guide and roughly align it with the lines. Now punch your test page. If your holes are incomplete or not centered, continue to adjust the edge guide, or pull out any pins to disengage the individual hole. You can see that the 3 I pulled out were not punched in this example.
You can also change the depth of margin. This is helpful for when you are using small coil for a thinner book, or larger coil with many pages—there are four depths to use.
From time to time you’ll also want to empty out the waste tray, and slide it back in.
Alright, now I’ll show you how to make a full book. Always start by punching your front and back cover with the proper alignment.
Next, punch your pages—up to 20 sheets at a time. If the machine struggles to punch, take out a few less pages at a time while you continue to punch the rest.
When finished, put the covers on on the book, then take your coil and spin it through about 4 holes by hand. You can start the coil inserter by pushing this red switch, or more conveniently use the foot pedal to activate it.
Place the coil against the roller and it will spin through, leaving you with coil extending past both ends.
Next, finish off the book using the provided coil cutting crimpers. Make sure the dot is facing up when you do this. Then firmly cut and crimp off the ends as seen here. You now have a book that lays flat and back to back—made fairly effortlessly using the Tamerica 46E Binding Machine.
Tamerica is releasing new binding machines this spring and some of them are simply terrific. Their coil binding device, the OfficePro-46E, is one of the best for many reasons. It's packed with great features that are user-friendly and make it a pleasure to use. Let's take a look at this device's numerous strengths - and the one weakness that isn't really that big of a deal.
Strengths:
The OfficePro-46E is like many of the other new machines from Tamerica in that it has a terrific punching capacity. The electric punch can handle up to 20 sheets at a time so you can start binding your documents in very little time.
This machine has disengageable dies so it's possible to assemble both larger and smaller books. The maximum punching length is 11.7" which is ideal for letter- and A4-sized paper. There are 46 dies in total.
This device has a built-in coil inserter so assembling your documents is really easy. You won't have to insert the coils manually which can take up a lot of time.
Durability is an important feature to look for when selecting a coil binding machine. Luckily, the Office-46E is incredibly durable because it has metal parts. You can get a lot of use out of this machine and it should last a long time.
One surprising thing about this device is that it's actually compact. It only measures about 18" x 11" x 19" so you could even place it on a desk if you want. That makes using it really convenient and it means you don't need to make a lot of room for it.
Finally, the OfficePro-46E comes with a one-year warranty. You probably won't need to use it, but an excellent warranty is always nice to have.
Weaknesses:
Color coils are available in sizes up to 50 millimeters and can bind work that's up to 440 pages long. However, the OfficePro-46E can only accommodate coils that are up to 25 mm thick. That means your work can only contain up to 220 pages. Keep that in mind if you produce a lot of lengthy documents.
Although the Tamerica OfficePro-46E is only compatible with coils that are up to 25 mm thick, it's pretty amazing that it doesn't have any more weaknesses. In fact, this is one of the best coil binding machines currently available. The punching capacity is great, the machine has disengageable dies, and it's also really durable. The coil inserter is easy to use and the device won't take up too much room in your workspace. Even the warranty is good. All together, the OfficePro-45E is a terrific coil binding machine. Give it a try today to see how it can help you bind your important documents.

Great question. The Tamerica OfficePro-46Ei 4:1 Pitch Electric Coil Binding Machine with Foot Pedal hole size is 4mm. That is referring to the actual size of the hole. Any 4:1 pitch spiral coil will work with this machine. 4:1 pitch means 4 holes each inch. Now, when it comes to sizes of the coils, the more sheets of paper you are binding, the larger size coil you need to hold those pages. That is where that mm measurement comes in, the coil size is not related to the hole size, if that makes sense.
There is a very handy tool on our website to find what size coil you will need based on thickness/sheet amount of your project. That can be found on our sizing guide page: https://www.mybinding.com/sizing-guides
