Formax ReadyWire 2B Manual Punch & Binding System - 2:1 Pitch
The Formax ReadyWire 2B is a compact manual punching and binding system designed for offices and organizations with low binding volumes. Its 2:1 pitch configuration provides greater binding versatility, accommodating double-loop wire diameters from 1/4" to 1-1/4" and finished booklets up to 280 sheets.
An ergonomic two-lever design separates punching and binding operations for simple, comfortable use. The low-force punching lever can punch up to 20 sheets at a time, while the integrated wire comb holder helps keep pages properly positioned before binding. A built-in wire diameter guide and quick-adjust sliding binding control make it easy to select and set the appropriate wire size for each project.
The ReadyWire 2B produces professional wire-bound documents that open a full 360 degrees and lay flat for easier reading, writing, copying, and scanning. Double-loop wire securely holds pages in place while providing a clean, professional finished appearance.
