OFFNOVA Wire Binding Machine, Punch 12 Sheets, 34 - Square Punch Holes, Bind 120 Sheets Book Binder with Adjustable Side Margin, Easy to Punch for Letter Size / A4 / A5

I have a leather cover for tally books that I really like. But tally books themselves are wanting. I prefer a grid layout. anyway, I bought this machine to punch grid paper that I custom cut to size for my tally book cover. The price of the machine is great because I had been looking for a long time and couldn't find anything that would do the job for under $300. That's just too much for making one custom notebook a month. The value for the money on this punch made customized tally books a reality for me. I would buy this again, but its so sturdy that I don't think I'll ever need replace it.

This was a recent purchase and it is a little different from the plastic comb binding machine I am used to. This is taking a little bit of getting used to, but slowly I’m figuring it out. I think this is going to work very good and you would be wise to give it a try.

It was hard to use. I had to return it. When I received it I was very excited to use it. Gave it a try and it punched holes perfectly. When it came to closing the wires that did not work. The presser was off balance and only half closed one side. I bought this for a conference and was not able to use it for that purpose. I will say I had no problem returning it and I am grateful for that. I will not purchase this again and I do not recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Great quality for the money. It’s easy to use. Appreciate that it come with a lot of wire bindings!

It punched through chip board, which was good. Needed to give it some oomph to do that. You can't disengage pins for smaller paper sizes though. And the slider on the front that adjusts the height of the clamp wouldn't slide. No matter what I did it wouldn't budge. But it's great for a hobby machine or something if you're not going to use it for big orders or quantities. It's sturdy, so that's good too.

Update:Customer service was crazy fast. They responded so quickly to my emails and they are sending a replacement asap. Just based on customer service I give the company 5/5 stars and honestly I recommend them. It sucks to have a bad machine sent BUT they stand by their product and care about the customers and will make it right.Old Review:I really want this machine and contacted customer service with offnova, and I'll update the review if I hear back, but as of right now I recieved an entirely defective machine. I'm not sure how they let this particular machine get passed on to be shipped to a customer when it wont even punch down at all. Any test would've prevented this.Other than that, it feels nice and heavy and solid, which is what I'd like. I'm hoping I can get a machine that works

The first cutter does not cut cleanly. This will be returned to look for a better one. Due to not cutting fully, on the first hole, I was not able to use it for any projects.

Works well as described. Easy to create thin books. I struggled with the binding holder on the front but the holes line up well so I was able the poor the binding on manually. Good size for personal projects.
