The Akiles VersaMac modular binding machine is one of the most product punches available on the market today. The VersaMac features an extra-high capacity punch that is capable of punching up to 55 sheets at once (based on 20 lb. paper and varying depending on the punch pattern selected), which can be operated electrically or manually based on the operator's preference. This model has a maximum punching length of 14" with an open throat to accommodate larger sheet sizes, and all dies have fully-disengageable pins to eliminate partially-punched holes on any document size. In addition to the standard punching dies _â€__ 4:1 coil, 19-hole comb, 3:1 wire, and 2:1 wire _â€__ the VersaMac has many specialty dies available, including three-hole punch, VeloBind, oval 4:1 coil, round 3:1 wire, and round 2:1 wire. The dies are specially-designed to make changing between punch patterns fast and easy, making the VersaMac a popular choice for large offices and production environments. The modular design means that you can expand on your machine's functionality at any time by purchasing additional dies. The VersaMac was designed with commercial-volume workloads in mind, so you can count on its reliability and rugged construction to complete any job on time. It has a number of features that increase productivity and set it apart from competitive models, including its innovative quiet punch, extra-large waste drawer with built-in overflow window, durable all-metal construction, and LED diagnostic lights (which provide critical information to the operator). If you've been looking for a modular binding machine that is built for super-duty use, then the Akiles VersaMac is the perfect choice for your book binding needs.
