With the automated performance and other outstanding features typically reserved for more expensive machines, this perfect binder provides centrally-located controls for single-operator efficiency. Simply place flat sheets into the clamp where pages are gripped automatically and the binding process begins. A double pass over the roughening cutter provides superior notching for superb glue penetration. Its clamping and nipping system ensure consistent square binds. The DB-280 Perfect Binder also has tape binding capabilities and with a quick push of a button, can convert to a padding function where only the precise amount of glue is added for perfectly bound notepads.
