This is such a great buy and quality. I was worried because some of the reviews weren’t great but I am convinced that some people were not following the directions. We used the cardboard included to punch several times to clean the heads to remove oil and after that the punches come out perfectly clean. We also followed the directions to correctly set the side dial to punch rather than bind as before we did that it did miss some holes (our error) and after it punched perfectly too. The holes can be centred for your paper size using the guide along the base, and for irregular sizes of paper the images of the square punches on the base allow you to manually position the paper and again achieve proper placement.
My kids and I were so excited to receive this purchase and we had so much fun putting some books together today. As a bonus this came with a few spiral and wire binding spines which was very appreciated. It also comes with mounting feet so this could be mounted on a desk. It didn’t come with the cutting tool for the end of the spines which was shown in one video on the Amazon sale page, but they are easy to cut and bend with any pliers.
It is a cute blue colour (colour always makes work more fun!), and not too large so we will be able to find a place to store it no problem. It was the cheapest spiral coil binding machine I could find on Amazon in Canada (even cheaper than the handheld desktop one often recommend in homeschool circles). It is well made and will serve our homeschooling family well.
