As we all know to live in this world we have to perform some activity by which we can earn money. There are many activities by which we can earn money and meet the standards to live in this society. And from one of them is franchise. Franc Small offices have unique needs, and thatincludes document shredding. Designed with the smaller business inmind, the Dahle 20314 is a cross-cut shredder that offers Level 3security and brings you into compliance with federal regulations. The
Presented as a small or home officesolution for light duty binding, the Akiles OffiWire comes in 3:1 or2:1 pitch versions. It can bind documents using double loop, wire-o, ortwin loop styles. Here is a short report that lists some of thestrengths and weaknesses of this machine as we see them. Strengths: Available in two different models, one that punches athree to one pitch, and one two to one version, the OffiWire give yousome great options right off the bat. The 3:1 pitch machine gives youthe option of binding books and booklets from three sixteenths to ninesixteenths of an inch with wire. You can also use GBC Proclick or 3:1spiral coil binding supplies with that machine. The 2:1 version givesyou options ranging from five eights to an inch and a quarter thick.However, you also have the option of binding smaller sized documentsusing special smaller sized wires if you ever find the need to producea run of like sized documents. We reallyappreciated that Akiles went the extra mile by constructing theOffiWire's wire closer of all metal. It is often a problem with a lotof lower end machines that they scrimp a little on the quality of thecloser. This creates problems down the line when they start to closewires crookedly. This machine's wire closer is made out of heavy dutysteel and we can safely say that it is unlikely that it will ever wearout. The bolts that it uses allow for precision adjustment of thecloser, and also prevent slipping. It's thelittle things that mean a lot. In the case of the OffiWire, thatincludes the U-shaped operating handle that seems more ergonomic thanthose on a lot of other machines. Our resident southpaw appreciated thefact that it was just as easy for her to use as it is for the righties. There is even a wire holder located on themachine's front that will help the user hold the spine of the documentin place when hanging pages. All you need to do is to press on the backof the holder and insert the wire. The clamp then holds the spine inplace while you do your inserting. Weaknesses: Though it is a very feature-rich machine, it is important to understandthat the OffiWire is a unit that is meant for use on a small officesetting. It has a fairly light punching capacity of ten sheets perlift, and this alone makes it not terribly well suited for largeroffice or higher volume use. If you will realistically need a largercapacity than this, you should keep looking. If not, however, theOffiWire is still a great choice, in our opinion. Although the construction is good, it should be mentioned that thechassis of this machine is made of plastic. If you want a machine thatis of all metal construction, you may need to step up to the WireMac,Akiles' similar, but more durable machine. There are no disengageable dies on the OffiWire, and it is limited topunching sheets that are letter sized. There is also no mechanism forcontrolling the depth of the punch margin.
