The Wire-Ostyle in general is one of the more elegant looks
The James Burns PB31SP Manual 3:1 Pitch WireBinding Machine provides individuals and smaller organizations with anall encompassing, feature laden binding system solution, creating booksin the elegant 3:1 Wire-O binding style. We investigated this machinerecently and compiled for you a list of what we considered to be a fewof its strengths and weaknesses. Strengths: ThePB31SP can punch and bind in the standard 3:1 style, or you can utilizethe fully selectable pin levers to create any custom pattern of yourchoosing. A lot of small businesses and self publishers use featureslike these to create their own individual look, which can lend somecreativity to the process and really help with branding.
The Wire-Ostyle in general is one of the more elegant looks that a smallpublisher can create, and the ability to individualize the books youcreate is a big plus when you are looking to make a name for yourself.Anotherthing we really liked about the PB31SP is the punch handle. It seemsthat on almost all the other similar machines out there, the handlesare located on the right side, meaning that not only do left handedindividuals have a more difficult time using the machine, but that onlarger jobs even right handed folks can get a little tired. The PB31SP,however, features a D shaped punch handle that can be used with eitherhand, or by both if fatigue starts to set in.
It's just a small touchthat makes this PB31SP a great choice for your small organization.Thebinding system has just about all of the small amenities you need tomake the process as quick and easy as possible. First of all the wirehanging device is conveniently located on the front of the machine tohold your book securely in place while you are putting the pagestogether and while inserting the wire. There is also a handy Wire-Osize guide, closing adjuster and closing guide, all of which combine tomake this one of the best Wire-O systems you can find at such a lowprice point.The PB31SP can close all of the wire sizes,including the larger ones from 5/8" to 1 1/4" with ease, which makes itfairly unique among Wire-O systems at this price point. With its 38fully selectable pins, you can also create documents up to 13" inlength without any problems.
Weaknesses: Thoughthe PB31SP is a great choice for relatively low-volume use, and isplenty feature rich, it is after all, still a manual punch and willlikely not be the best choice for larger businesses and organizationsthat need to create high volumes of books on a regular basis. If thatdescribes you or your organization, you might want to consider anelectric system. They do cost a fair amount more, but the time you willsave will be significant.The punch capacity of the PB31SPis not terribly high, at 10 pages per lift. Again, for smaller projectsthis should be plenty, but on a thicker book or one with a larger run,this might prove to be just a little tedious.Although thissystem has a closer that handle larger sized wires, it is a 3:1 pitchsystem and as such is designed for use with smaller documents. Three toone pitch wires are only available in thicknesses up to 9/16". Largersized wires are available in 2:1 pitch. However, they are notcompatible with the punching pattern produced by this machine.
