It is great for binding documents with double loop, twin loop, wire-o, double-o and Wirebind spines. The TW2100 offers a stylish and compact design which makes it an ideal choice for companies that don't have room for a large and obtrusive binding system. It is designed specifically for binding documents using 2:1 pitch wire-o spines. It can be used with standard two to one pitch wires for binding documents between 5/8" and 1-1/4" and is also compatible with specialty small sized 2:1 pitch wires. Features/ Strengths: The TW2100 has 27 fully disengageable punching pins for handling sheets that are up to fourteen inches in length. This makes the TW-2100 the least expensive two to one pitch wire binding system capable of binding legal sized books. This machine has two handles. One handle operates the punch which can produce holes in up to 20 sheets of paper at a time. The second handle operates the wire closer. The fact that the TW-2100 has two handles helps to ensure that the wire closer stays accurate and true over time and it helps to reduce stress on the punching mechanism of the machine. The TW-2100 has fully disengageable dies. Using the pull pins that are located on the front of the machine it is possible to stop any single hole from punching along the edge of your book. This means that you can punch any length of document up to fourteen inches without having to worry about leaving half a hole on the edge of your documents. It also has a four position depth of punch control. Using a small knob on the side of the machine you can adjust the distance of the holes from the binding edge of your document. The TW-2100 is made of metal not of plastic. The metal components are heavy duty and are designed for durability in organizations that bind documents every day. Like other machines from Tamerica the TW-2100 comes with a two-year warranty. Most other wire binding machines come with a one-year warranty. The extra year offered on this machine give you added protection on your investment. Limitations/Weaknesses: The TW-2100 has a concealed wire closer on the front of this machine. The fact that you have to flip open the lid to the compartment in order to use the wire closer adds another step to the binding process. The design looks good but cuts into productivity. This machine has a manual punching mechanism. Although twenty sheets is a good punching capacity for a wire binding machine, the TW2100 is still a manual binding machine. It is ideal for light to moderate binding applications. Users who need to bind a lot of documents or thick documents may want to consider a machine with an electric punch. This machine produces a 2:1 pitch punching pattern. It is specifically designed for binding documents with wires that are from 5/8" up to 1-1/4" but can also be used with special small sized 2:1 pitch wires which are available but cost more than standard 3:1 pitch wires. Recommendation: The TW-2100 is an excellent 2:1 pitch double loop wire binding system that offers both punching and binding for books up to fourteen inches in length. It includes heavy duty metal construction, a convenient compact design and fully disengageable dies. All of these things make the TW2100 a great solution for small and medium sized offices that are looking for a reasonably priced wire binding solution. However, this machine is a manual binding system and thus does not lend itself to high volume punching applications.

The stylish and compact design offered by the TW-3100 makes it an ideal choice for organizations that have limited space. The TW-3100 is designed for binding documents with 3:1 pitch twin loop wire. It is designed for binding documents that are up to 9/16" thick and as long as 14 inches. Features/ Strengths: The TW3100 has 40 fully disengageable pins for punching documents that are up to fourteen inches in length. This makes the TW-3100 the least expensive double loop wire binding machine capable of binding legal sized documents. The TW3100 has two handles. One is designed to operate the punching mechanism on the machine. Using this handle you can punch up to twenty sheets of paper at a time. The other handle is designed to operate the wire closer. The two handle design of this machine helps to ensure that the wire closer stays accurate over time and reduces stress on the punching mechanism. The TW-3100 has fully disengageable dies which means that it can be used to punch any length of document up to fourteen inches long. It also has a four position depth of punch margin control that is used to adjust the distance of the holes from the edge of the paper. This is a useful feature when binding very small books with the TW-3100. The TW-3100 is made of metal not of plastic and its metal components are designed to hold up for organizations that need to bind documents every day. Like other machines from Tamerica / Tashin the TW-3100 comes with a 2 year warranty. Most other wire binding machines available on the market only come with a one year warranty. The extra year offered by Tamerica shows their confidence in the design of their machine. Limitations/Weaknesses: The concealed wire closer on the front of this machine is durable enough for most moderate volume applications. However, the fact that you have to flip open the compartment to use the wire closer is less than convenient. This design adds an additional step to the binding process. The manual nature of this machine makes it ideal for light and moderate volume binding applications. Users who need to bind a lot of books may want to consider a machine with an electric punch. The TW-3100 is designed for binding documents with 3:1 pitch twin loop wire. This limits the sizes of documents that can be bound with this machine. Three to one pitch wire binding spines are available in sizes from 3/16" up to 9/16" in diameter. Organizations that need to bind larger sized books will need to consider a machine that punches holes for 2:1 pitch binding or a machine that punches both 2:1 and 3:1 holes. Recommendation: The TW-3100 is an excellent 3:1 pitch wire binding machine that offers legal sized punching and binding. However the design of the machine and the fact that it has a manual punch does not lend itself to high volume punching applications. Still this machine's metal construction and convenient compact design make it an ideal solution for organizations looking for a reasonably priced feature rich twin loop wire binding solution.
