Tamerica Tashin TW2100 2:1 Pitch Double Loop Wire Binding Machine Review

April 9, 2008 |

The Tamerica Tashin
TW2100 is a twin loop wire binding machine that includes a 2:1 pitch
punch, a wire hanger and a heavy duty wire closer. It is great for
binding documents with double loop, twin loop, wire-o, double-o and
Wirebind spines.It is designed
specifically for binding documents using 2:1 pitch wire-o spines. It
can be used with standard two to one pitch wires for binding documents
between 5/8″ and 1-1/4″ and is also compatible with specialty small
sized 2:1 pitch wires.

Overview:

  • The Tamerica Tashin
    TW2100 is a twin loop wire binding machine that includes a 2:1 pitch
    punch, a wire hanger and a heavy duty wire closer. It is great for
    binding documents with double loop, twin loop, wire-o, double-o and
    Wirebind spines.
  • The TW2100 offers a stylish and compact
    design which makes it an ideal choice for companies that don’t have
    room for a large and obtrusive binding system.
  • It is designed
    specifically for binding documents using 2:1 pitch wire-o spines. It
    can be used with standard two to one pitch wires for binding documents
    between 5/8″ and 1-1/4″ and is also compatible with specialty small
    sized 2:1 pitch wires.

Strengths / Features:

  • The
    TW2100 has 27 fully disengageable punching pins for handling sheets
    that are up to fourteen inches in length. This makes the TW-2100 the
    least expensive two to one pitch wire binding system capable of binding
    legal sized books.
  • This machine has two handles. One handle
    operates the punch which can produce holes in up to 20 sheets of paper
    at a time. The second handle operates the wire closer. The fact that
    the TW-2100 has two handles helps to ensure that the wire closer stays
    accurate and true over time and it helps to reduce stress on the
    punching mechanism of the machine.
  • The TW-2100 has fully
    disengageable dies. Using the pull pins that are located on the front
    of the machine it is possible to stop any single hole from punching
    along the edge of your book. This means that you can punch any length
    of document up to fourteen inches without having to worry about leaving
    half a hole on the edge of your documents. It also has a four position
    depth of punch control. Using a small knob on the side of the machine
    you can adjust the distance of the holes from the binding edge of your
    document.
  • The TW-2100 is made of metal not of plastic. The
    metal components are heavy duty and are designed for durability in
    organizations that bind documents every day.
  • Like other
    machines from Tamerica the TW-2100 comes with a two-year warranty. Most
    other wire binding machines come with a one-year warranty. The extra
    year offered on this machine give you added protection on your
    investment.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

  • The
    TW-2100 has a concealed wire closer on the front of this machine. The
    fact that you have to flip open the lid to the compartment in order to
    use the wire closer adds another step to the binding process. The
    design looks good but cuts into productivity.
  • This machine
    has a manual punching mechanism. Although twenty sheets is a good
    punching capacity for a wire binding machine, the TW2100 is still a
    manual binding machine. It is ideal for light to moderate binding
    applications. Users who need to bind a lot of documents or thick
    documents may want to consider a machine with an electric punch.
  • This
    machine produces a 2:1 pitch punching pattern. It is specifically
    designed for binding documents with wires that are from 5/8″ up to
    1-1/4″ but can also be used with special small sized 2:1 pitch wires
    which are available but cost more than standard 3:1 pitch wires.

Recommendation:

  • The
    TW-2100 is an excellent 2:1 pitch double loop wire binding system that
    offers both punching and binding for books up to fourteen inches in
    length.
  • It includes heavy duty metal construction, a
    convenient compact design and fully disengageable dies. All of these
    things make the TW2100 a great solution for small and medium sized
    offices that are looking for a reasonably priced wire binding solution.
  • However , this machine is a manual binding system and thus does not lend itself to high volume punching applications.
