Overview: The Rhin-O-Tuff OD4300 isa different type of spiral coil inserter that is designed for use inconjunction with your Rhino modular binding punch.While mostspiral coil inserters use large rubber rollers to help you spin yourspines across the edge of your books, this machine takes a differentapproach.Using different sized mandrels and a rubber rollerthat is less than an inch in width this machine is designed to speed upspiral coil inserting in production environments. This is especially true for spiral coils that are between 14mm and 32mm in diameter.
Strengths / Features:

TheOD-4300 is effective in speeding up spiral coil inserters for users whoneed to bind books with coils that are between 9/16" (14mm) and 1-1/4"(32mm). With traditional coil inserters, spinning coil onto the edge ofyour books becomes more difficult as the diameter of your bookincreases. The OD4300 is designed to help eliminate this problem byreducing the amount that you need to handle the coil during theinserting process.This unit also makes handling longerlengths of coil a lot easier. With most other coil inserters you haveto cut 36 inch coil before you begin the inserting process. The OD-4300works best when you use whole pieces of thirty six inch coil. This isexcellent for helping to reduce waste when binding custom sized booksand helps to increase productivity.The OD4300 is muchsmaller than most other spiral coil inserters. It is designed to boltdirectly onto the side of your machine or Shoe cover onto the side of yourRhin-O-Tuff combo binding station. This space saving design is greatfor organizations that are tight on space.The OD-4300 can beadapted into traditional coil inserter using the OD-4100. This allowsusers who might want to use the 4300 for long runs to still have theability to use a traditional roller style coil inserter for short runsand everyday use.
Weaknesses / Limitations:

Althoughwhen used correctly and for the right applications this machine cansave you time, for many users it will actually cost you time. Learningto set up and use this type of coil inserter can be very difficult.High efficiency production environments may have a dedicated user thatcan be trained to operate this type of machine. However, manyorganizations need operators who have little training or experience tooperate their equipment. If you are not used to using this style ofinserter it can easily take you twenty minutes to set up and it will beconsiderably slower in inserting the spines onto your documents.Thismachine cannot be used as a standalone coil inserter. It is designed tobe bolted onto the side of a Rhin-O-Tuff OD4000 or OD4800 bindingpunch. If you don't have either of these machines then you will need topurchase the OD-3500 binding station in order to use this machine. Thisis something to keep in mind when considering this device.Settingup this machine can be a little bit time consuming. It is important tomake sure that you have the right size of mandrel and that the machineis properly adjusted for the size of coil that you are using. Thenevery piece of coil needs to be loaded onto the machine one at a time.These things make the OD-4300 an excellent choice for long runs and foruse with 36" coil. Users who need to bind a few documents or who preferto use 12" coil may find that this machine is somewhat frustrating tooperate.
