Overview:

The Akiles Coilmac M is one of the most popular spiral coil binding machines available on the market.
It is designed to bind documents using standard 4:1 pitch spiral coil binding supplies.
The CoilMac-M is a heavy duty metal spiral coil binding machine that is designed for small and medium sized organizations that are looking to bind their own documents with ColorCoil.
This machine is an excellent choice for small companies who are considering binding their own documents using coil.

Features/ Strengths:

The Akiles CoilMac manual binding machine is one of the highest quality medium duty spiral coil binding machines available anywhere. Akiles has built their reputation on the fact that their equipment is extremely strong and durable. The Coilmac M is no exception. This machine is built out of heavy duty steel. The body of the machine, the handle, the internal mechanisms, and the finishing table are all made of high quality metal. This heavy duty metal construction is designed to ensure that this machine can be used for years without any problems.
The Coilmac-M punches a four to one pitch hole pattern with four holes per inch. This hole pattern is designed for use with standard 4:1 pitch spiral coil spines. Using 4:1 pitch coil it is possible to bind documents as small as 6mm (1/4”) and as large as 50mm (2”). However, attempting to bind documents with coils larger than one inch can be very difficult and is only recommended for experienced users. Still, the wide variety of available sizes and the fact that spiral coils are produced in more than sixty colors and in almost any imagineable length means that the Coil-Mac manual binding machine provides a ton of versatility to its users.
The punch on this machine is capable of punching up to seventeen sheets of twenty pound paper at a time. Although there are certainly heavier duty punches available on the market, this is an excellent capacity for a medium volume coil binding machine such as the CoilMac M.

Limitations/Weaknesses:

Unlike many other larger spiral coil binding machines, the CoilMac-M does not include an electric spiral coil inserter. It does include an inserting table that helps to make the process of inserting spines by hand easier. However, an inserter or coil spinner would make the binding process go a lot faster. For an electric inserter you have to step up to the CoilMac ECI.
This machine does not include a pair of spiral coil crimping pliers. These special pliers are used to cut and crimp the ends of the coil spines so that they don’t spin off the book once it is bound. The process of cutting and crimping coil is extremely difficult if you don’t have these special coil crimpers. Users who choose the Coilmac-M should really consider ordering a pair of pliers with the machine.
This machine has a thirteen inch punching throat and has five disengageable dies for punching common paper sizes. Users who need to punch letter, legal, half letter or standard European sizes should not have a problem with this machine. However, the Coilmac-M is not designed to punch custom length documents. Attempting to punch odd sized sheets will most likely result in a half hole being left on the edge of your document.

Recommendation:

The Akiles CoilMac-M manual coil binding machine is ideal for small and medium sized companies that are looking for a solution to bind up to fifty documents per week.
It is known for its rugged metal construction, excellent feature set, versatility and dependable performance.
This machine is great for binding a few documents per day. However, it is not ideal for high volume applications.
Larger volume users may want to consider an electric coil binding punch with a spiral coil inserter. Or even a manual punch with an electric spiral coil inserter.
