The C75 is an all in one plastic comb binding machine. This simply means that it includes both a punch for putting the holes in your document and a plastic comb opener for opening the combs so that you can finish binding your documents. This means that you won’t need another machine (besides your printer) for producing documents using the C75.
The punch on this machine is rated to punch up to 10 sheets of 20lb paper per lift. Realistically this means that you will be able to punch 7-8 sheets at a time comfortably. For smaller sized documents this won’t be too bad. However, punching a thick document could become really tedious.
The C75 has a couple of features that are not included on many other Comb Binding machines. If you flip the machine over you will note that it has suction cup feet. These are designed to help make sure that the machine doesn’t move during punching and binding. This feature is very handy especially since the C75 doesn’t weight very much and thus is rather easy to move.
The machine also has a convenient handle design that is ideal for both left and right handed people. This will make the C75 a lot easier for left handed people to use as compared to a machine with a traditional slot machine handle design. The metal handle includes a smooth coated grip bar that will easily rotate in your hand when you are punching. This makes pulling the handle very easy. The handle also includes a locking mechanism that allows you to lock it in the down position (it has a spring that would cause it to come back up if you didn’t lock it). This feature is very handy for storing the machine or transporting it.
The C75 also has a convenient wheel shaped paper margin guide that allows you to select between letter sized paper, oversize covers and A4 sized paper. This margin guide is exceptionally easy to use and doesn’t require a great deal of expertise to set up like some of the other more expensive plastic comb binding machines that are available concrete grinding machine hire on the market.
Limitations:
As with any lower cost machine there are also limitations of the capabilities of the CombBind C75. One limitation is the length of the documents that can be bound with this machine. Since the ends of the punch are not open and there are no disengageable punch pins the machine is not designed to punch documents that are shorter than 11″ or longer than A4 size. If you anticipate the need to bind half letter (8.5″ x 5.5″) documents you will probably need to select a machine with disengageable dies.
