The quality feel is there at the opening of the carton. The machine is heavy and thus keeps in place without the risk of moving the lever to cut is well made and allows to perforate without problems 12 pages recommended. The system to spread the rings is standard and helps keep them open without worry. I have a machine in the office and there is a wheel that does not lock well, then all is well. There is a drawer underneath the machine which allows to store the rings and allows the calibration based on the number of the necessary sheet ring. It is practical and well thought out. There was another drawer to remove paper residues when punching and a small window in the front allows to judge whether the tank is full.
There is also a thumb wheel for shifting a stop for positioning the sheet and the perforation is well distributed over the sheet. It is necessary to make this guide adjustment initially with scrap paper to find the right positon and then not wasting paper. Once this is done and it works well on the way to beautiful records. The machine is delivered without accessories, not transparent papers for coverage, no rings, no card stock. We must plan all this and more. So I think in the end this powerful machine and much better than some old binders, the only difference for professional use is the max capacity of 12 sheets at the perforation.
