Using A Binding Machine

Well, someone my dad knows passed away recently, and I have inherited a lot of his office equipment. I now have a desk, some filing cabinets, a fax machine, and good god... a binding machine!!! But I'll be damned if I know how to use it!!!

So, does anyone know??? Its not electric at all, its got a lot of things sticking out, and a big handle. Any ideas???

I was going put my kick and snare through it. I'm going to make a cocktail kit.

Put a piece of paper in and pull the handle. It'll make lots of neat looking rectangular holes. If nothing else it's a good confetti machine.

Yeah, but how do I get the binding in??? Does the machine do that?

Align the binding over those spikes at the top. Pushing the handle back will stretch out the binding. Work it a couple of times and it will become obvious.

I'm still not getting it

For real? I'll keep going but I think you're just playing me.

Anyway, it's not all that automatic. The lower part punches the holes. The upper part just stretches the two sides of the plastic binding apart so you can thread the punched paper over the binding tips. Go to Office Depot or Staples or Kinkos or wherever office supplies are sold in your area and get a box of the comb bindings. You'll be all set.

yeah you have to put the paper in...the machine just does the binder stretching. then you align the paper on the binder and close it up...

pain in the ass!
