Formax ReadyWire 3M Manual Punch & Binding System - 3:1 Pitch
The Formax ReadyWire 3M is a heavy-duty, compact manual punching and binding system designed for offices and organizations with low to moderate binding volumes. Its rugged all-metal construction, smooth manual operation, and precision vertical punching system provide reliable performance while maintaining an easy, ergonomic workflow from punching through binding.
The precision vertical punching system uses gravity to help keep sheets properly positioned for consistent hole placement, even when working with larger document sets. Setup and adjustments are quick and easy with no tools required, while individually disengageable punch pins allow selected holes to be disabled to help prevent partially punched holes.
The ReadyWire 3M uses a 3:1 pitch format to produce professionally bound documents with a refined finished appearance. It accommodates double-loop wire diameters from 1/4" to 5/8" and can bind documents containing up to 135 sheets. Finished wire-bound documents open a full 360 degrees and lay flat for easier reading, writing, scanning, and presentations.
