though you are not likely to need it

TheDuraBind 242 is a nice machine at a nice
price. This workhorse can punch and bind any size booklets ranging up to
fourteen inches, two inches thick. Its two handles enable you to do
your punching and binding at the same time. This is a solid machine as
well, constructed as it is of all metal parts and components. It's a
model of versatility as well, with its fully disengageable dies which
allow you to punch just about any size of paper. The Durabind works hard
and it works fast as well, giving you the ability to punch as many as
five thousand sheets of paper per hour, and to bind as many as two
hundred and fifty books. This machine works like a charm with all
existing plastic comb binding supplies, such as ZipBind, and all of the
major types of binding covers.

The majority of plastic comb binding systems make it difficult to
impossible to bind legal size (fourteen inches) books and booklets. For
the most part, the comb openers on these machines aren't quite long
enough and you have to punch your sheets. That is why, print and copy
shops, or other organizations that find they need to bind legal sized
documents on a regular basis should take a good hard look at the
Durabind 242.

The Durabind 242 gives you a lot of flexibility and at a very good
price. As well as all of the above stated features, this machine gives
you a depth of punch margin control that lets you more securely bind
smaller documents, and gives you better functionality for thicker books
and booklets. As stated above the punching dies on this machine are
fully disengageable which means that you can punch the correct punch
pattern for just about all of the paper sizes in which you will find
plastic comb binding supplies.

This kind of versatility at such a low price makes the 242 one of the
smartest buys on the binding machine market. This is a well designed
machine too. There is a separate handle for the punch and the comb
opener so the system can be placed against a wall for saving space in
your office, and that the comb opener parts and components don't move
during the punching process, saving wear and tear and helping to ensure a
long machine life. And speaking of the punch, this machine can easily
punch fifteen to twenty pages per lift, or two plastic covers. That's a
lot of power in a small and well-priced package.

The heavy duty, all metal construction of this machine ensures
durability, and the punching dies are hollow ground and self sharpening,
meaning you get years and years of trouble free operation. To top it
off, though you are not likely to need it, the 242 comes with a two year
manufacturer's warranty. If you or your business find that you have the
need to bind legal sized booklets, and you want to save a lot of money,
this may be the ideal machine for you. Check it out today.
