Is this machine limited to plastic comb binding? I'd like to use twin wire binding, can this handle that?

This is a comb binder only, you would need to purchase a specific binder for wire. One we carry and recommend is the Fellowes Quasar Wire.

I did not need to use a welding machine to splice [join] the 10-3 wire. I stripped the colored plastic coat of each wire with a simple wire stripper, and twisted the corresponding wires together with wire nuts -- one wire nut for each splice. Then I tightly wrapped the joined ends -- wire nuts and all -- with electric tape. So, the wire junction looks like a clump or nodule because of the four wire nuts. It's not pretty, but it is effective and safe, even for a dummy like me with no electrical saavy. I'm sorry, I can not directly answer your question pertaining to the welding machine, but I hope my answer is still helpful. Good luck!

On my unit the center is metal where the string cutter is located. The winder portion is plastic. As someone else reported, to cut strings you may want to use diagonal cutters from your workshop for ease of use.

It takes a plastic bobbin.. It quilts wonderfully. It is sturdy. I used mine Strictly for free motion quilting. Space is plenty big. I have another machine with all the decorative stitches. You have to buy the throat plate to cover the feed dogs. Mine does not drop the feed dogs. I love it.

There is only a 1.5mm - 3mm - 6mm and a 9mm. With the adjustable comb attachment it goes .2mm to 16mm.

You could cut wires and butt splice. I never opened the terminal box. I did buy MC4, wish this included a pair.

Yes you can use less than 2 inch combs, I use 3/8" and 1/4" and I think this model is good for high volume use. Although it may depend on how high your volume use is and frequency. This machine will punch up to 20 pages of regular 20 lb paper with no problem. If you have heavy card stock in the mix (as I did with my project) the number of pages is reduced. However, I did not find this to be a hindrance at all. I was able to do 140 church directories in just a few short hours which consisted of 5 sections dividers, front, back cover of 67 lb card stock, and 22 pages of 20 lb paper. The manual would have taken me several days to complete. Yes you can use less than 2 inch combs, I use 3/8" and 1/4" and I think this model is good for high volume use.

No, the high frequency electrodes that come with it are mushroom, globe, and small rounded (precision/eye area). However it is a **Great 5 in 1 machine and HF attachments are universal (neon or argon) and you can get a comb attachment a la cart for about $10.

I use them on my Golden Retriever and am very pleased with the stainless steel vs the plastic combs I used for years. Because of my very furry, long-haired dog, I always need to remove and clean between the #10 and comb -- I can't imagine being able to trim with removable combs without hair becoming caught; only a permanently attached comb and blade would prevent this.

It is made from thin, flexible wire that is tipped with plastic. If you can get a wide toothed comb through your hair, you should be able to use this.

It punches 32 holes along the long edge of standard letter paper. I'm not sure how many holes are required for coil binding. Note that this works really great with the pro click spiral bindings GBC sells They are plastic, but look pretty good.

Probably about 10-15 pages at a time, depending on the weight of the paper. It's a sturdy unit, so it could probably do more, except that the opening to slide the paper in is thin. They are probably saving you from yourself, though. All in all, after two months of use, I'd recommend this unit, especially if (like me) you detest comb bindings. Its also about half the size and half the price from the next level up.

I've only used the 1/4 inch coils and it works beautifully (30 sheets at 20lb bond paper). There are larger coils 9/16 that are supposed to bind 115 sheets at 20lbs. The machine is used to punch the holes. You don't need it for the coil binding, so you don't have to worry about different sizes in different machines. Just punch your paper in stacks that the machine can handle. Don't forget that you will need a coil crimper for the ends.

Hello James,If you find the comb in 8.5" it should, because the binding is very simple once you know what direction to place your comb. I haven't done this but I am sure that it would work. Please go do office supply store like Staples to find the comb and askthem to make sure. Hope my answer help. Have a great day!

Yes, you can purchase many different sized binding combs to fit what ever size your project is.

No. It will bind a few page together. It does not use wire staples; rather it uses a clever method of folding a tab for a reliable bond. It is a well made tool and should last a long time.
