Tamerica SB-41 4 Pin SecureBind Binding Machine

Welcome to MyBinding video. Today we look at Tamerica's SB-41, a 4-pin Securebind binder. In the same style and compatible with VeloBind, the SB-41 Securebind is a great little machine. Let's watch it in action as we make a book. Set your side margin controls so that all punches are consistent throughout the project. Beginning with the covers, put the bind side in all the way and make your punch. Continue on punching through the rest of your project, punching 15-20 sheets of 20lb paper per lift. Assemble it all together, it's time to bind.

And using a VeloBind 4-pin binding strip, place the male end in the front side, all the way through all the holes, and the female end on the back side, making sure the groove is facing out. The front side is flat, the back side has the groove. Place it over all four teeth. And having turned the machine around, you can use the wire rack on the back to hold your book when you go to fasten the bind. Press the metal tabs on the ends to pop up the fastener on top. With the book faced down, place the bind into the groove just below the fastener, making sure that the two end pins will go up through the black knobs on top. And press the bar all the way down, cinching the bind. Beginning with one end, roll the black handle to the center, pull it back, and do so with the other side. This should close all your pins into the bind. Release your book with the metal tabs again, and the pins should be locked all the way into the groove and secured. Open the little door on either end and you can pour out your punched holes. There it is, that's the SecureBind SB-41 by Tamerica.
