The Cinch Book Binding Machine - Version 2

The Cinch can punch up to 20 sheets of standard 20lb copy paper at a time. For thicker materials like cardstock or chipboard, you should significantly reduce the number of sheets per punch to ensure clean holes and prevent damage to the machine.

The Cinch creates round holes spaced at a 2:1 pitch, which is compatible with standard 2:1 pitch wire binding or spiral binding combs.

Yes, you can customize hole placement by pulling out the individual punch pegs. This allows you to skip specific holes for unique binding designs or to accommodate different project dimensions.

The adjustable pressure bar allows The Cinch to bind documents ranging from approximately 0.81 cm to 3.12 cm (about 0.3 to 1.25 inches) in thickness.

Yes, The Cinch is designed to bind paper, cardboard, plastic sheets, and even CDs. For non-paper materials, it's advisable to punch fewer items at a time.

Wipe the machine with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the punch areas are free from paper debris by using a small brush. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the mechanism.

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the We R Memory Keepers website for specific warranty details.

Reduce the number of sheets being punched at once. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended capacity for your material type. Check that the pressure bar is correctly adjusted.

Ensure the punch blades are clear of paper dust or debris. Try punching fewer sheets. Sharpening or replacing punch mechanisms may be necessary if the issue persists over long-term use.

Verify that you are using binding wire or spirals with a 2:1 pitch, as this is the standard for The Cinch. Ensure the holes are punched evenly and without distortion.

Adjust the pressure bar to a tighter setting appropriate for the thickness of your bound document. Ensure the book is centered evenly under the pressure bar.
