Formax ReadyWire 3E Electric Punch & Binding System - 3:1 Pitch
The Formax ReadyWire 3E is a heavy-duty, compact wire punching and binding system that combines the speed and convenience of electric punching with manual binding. Simple foot pedal activation provides an easy, ergonomic workflow, while rugged all-metal construction is designed for durability and dependable operation.
The precision vertical punching system utilizes gravity to help keep sheets securely in place for consistent hole placement, even with larger document sets. Setup is quick and easy with no tools required, and individually disengageable punch pins allow selected holes to be disabled to help prevent partially punched holes.
The ReadyWire 3E uses a 3:1 pitch format for a refined, professional finished appearance. It accommodates double-loop wire diameters from 1/4" to 5/8" and can bind booklets containing up to 135 sheets. Finished wire-bound documents open a full 360 degrees and lay flat for easier reading, writing, scanning, and presentations.
