Description: We've put the best features of the most expensive desktop thermal binding machines into our own TB 500 and have priced it to be a great value. This is a rugged heavy duty, all metal machine that can bind the largest 2'' thick reports or adjust to put just the right pressure on a 5 page report. There are three time settings so you can pick a fast cycle for a small bindings or a long cycle for a large hard-bound book or multiple small books. The sliding right angle closure is the best way to apply enough pressure to keep your thermal covers positioned straight up so that the spine rests squarely on the heating platform, but not so much pressure that it keeps the pages from dropping down into the melted glue. The two year warranty is twice that offered by most other manufacturers. Warm Up Time ------- 3 minutes (buzzer and light comes on) CycleTtimes ----------- Selectable 60, 120 and 180 seconds Operation -------------- Machine automatically senses when documents are inserted.
