Hi Darcy,
I have a Rhin-o-tuff coil binding machine which is excellent,
although I have to slip the music over to punch anything over letter
size paper.
To determine the size of the coil simply measure the thickness of the
score in mm's and add 2 mm's to get the correct size coil.
Hope that helps,
Greg

Hey Cecil,
Thanks, this is all *really* helpful.
I think 120 pages of 24 lb. bond is a too thick for center-
stapling. I've done that before with choral books and was very
unhappy with the results.
However, reason eventually prevailed -- I managed to sell him on
coil binding by telling him (truthfully) "Pianists like coil
binding," and stressing the unreliability and cost of perfect binding.
I've been meaning to get a coil binding for a long time anyway, and
this project is a good excuse. When all is said and done, I won't
make much money on it, but I will get a nice CoilMac binder
(purchased, incidentally, from NPC Imaging, who have the best deal
on that machine).
A related question -- anyone have any idea what size coil I'd want
for 60 sheets of 24. lb bond plus cardstock front and back cover?
Does 12 mm sound right to everyone?
Cheers,
- Darcy
