Someone mentioned a rule of thumb for minimum coil size as total

which gives a result very close to paper thickness plus 3mm.
I usually go one size larger, which avoids noise caused by the pages
binding when the coil is too tight.
For a coil-binding machine, I strongly recommend the CoilMac. It's
built
like a tank and can punch up to 26" along a side (anything longer
than 13"
takes two passes, but alignment is easy and accurate).
You can take more than two passes if you want for even longer pages,
but the coils don't come longer than 36", AFAIK.
I already mentioned that I like the Akiles machine too, and can
highly recommend it.
