3D Everywhere

The All – New Akiles Alphabind – Ce Plastic Comb Binding Machine – A Review

There are both manual and electric plastic comb binding machines, and one of the newest electric models for sale is the awesome Akiles AlphaBind-CE. This is a product that produces high-quality bound documents quickly and it’s strong enough to handle heavy-duty usage. Here are the strengths of this machine – which are many – as well as a look at its minor weaknesses. Read on to learn all about them.

Strengths:

* The CE is the electric version of Akile’s manual AlphaBind-CM machine. Like that unit, the CE was manufactured to offer customers a chance to own a high-quality product such as the company’s Megabind models, but for a lot less money. The only tradeoff is a twelve inch throat instead of a fourteen inch one.
* And speaking of money, for an electric machine, the CE couldn’t be more affordable. It retails for around ,150.00, which is not a bad price, especially since the unit has so many wonderful attributes. However, if you look around, you should be able to find this unit on sale for less than a thousand dollars. It is also covered by Akile’s one-year warranty.
* This is a device that is ideal for binding documents that are 8.5″ x 11″ (in other words, letter-sized). The CE has an open 12-inch throat, like the CM.
