    The Formax ReadyWire Manual punching and binding system is built for offices and organizations with low to moderate binding volumes. Available in two models — ReadyWire2M (2:1 pitch) and ReadyWire3M (3:1 pitch) — these rugged, all-metal wire binding machines deliver consistent, professional results with an ergonomic, tool-free workflow.

    The precision vertical punching system uses gravity to keep every sheet in place, ensuring consistent hole placement even on larger document sets. Punch pins are individually accessible and can be disengaged to prevent partial holes. The 2:1 pitch model accommodates wire diameters from ¼" to 1½" for booklets up to 340 sheets, offering superior versatility for a wide range of binding needs.
