The Akiles DuoMac 521 presents the marketwith some nice versatility, although in an unusual combination ofbinding styles. Here is a short report on this machine that includes alist of what we consider to be some of the DuoMac 521's strengths andweaknesses. Strengths: All told, the DuoMac 521's two hole punching patternsoffer you three different binding styles. One of the machine's punchingthroats punches a five to one pitch ratio that can be used to binddocuments with 5:1 pitch spiral coils. The machine's other punchingmechanism uses a two to one pitch ratio that is designed to be usedwith two to one double loop wire, but you can also use this pitch tocreate larger sized documents using .400 sized coil. That is somepretty nice versatility for such a relatively inexpensive machine. On the five to one punch, the 13 inch throat combined with 5 dies thatare disengageable means that it is possible to punch sheets from letterto legal and most of the other common sheet sizes with the moreelegant, tightly-wound look of the five to one spiral coil pattern. The two to one pitch punching mechanism is 14 inches long and featuresdies that are fully disengageable. This means that you will be able toprocess pretty much any sheets up to fourteen inches in just one step.Both of the DuoMac 521's punching throats are open, meaning that usinga two step punching process, you will be able to punch documents ofjust about any length. We found that the wirecloser located on the front of the DuoMac 521 is of exceptionally highquality. There are a lot of wore closers out there that are of acheaper build, and they seem to lose their accuracy over time. Wereally don't think that will be a problem with this one, as it is oneof the best we have seen. There is also a wire hanger that makes thebinding process much easier. We really likethat Akiles includes a top notch pair of crimping pliers with theDuoMac 521. These crimpers are such an important part of the finishingprocess that we don't know how any manufacturer can put out a spiralcoil system without including them. Weaknesses: Though the DuoMac 521 is pretty feature rich, one thingyou will not find on this machine is a spiral coil inserter. This isnot a big deal for smaller projects, as you can do the inserting byhand. However, if you are going to want to do more than that, you wouldbe well advised to look into purchasing a standalone inserter likeAkiles' Roll-a-Coil. You should be aware, however, that inserter or no,you will be required to insert the .400 sized coils on by hand. The supplies required for the kind of binding that this machine doesare somewhat specialized, and not as readily available as for someother pitch ratios. This means is that you will have to plan aheadand/or stay on top of your ordering so you will always be assured tohave the spiral coils or wires that you need on hand.
