The Coilmaster Jr. is very easy to set up and reliable as can be. We train temps to run the machine and they do a great job. We save 60 – 70% on plastic coil costs by making our own coil.
Their training was awesome. Now the girls that were trained are training others. We are coil binding 18″ long books. The Coilmaster is truly great!!!
I purchased my first Digibinder in 2007. I get buried once a year by Town Reports so I bought another one. Once a year I drive one of them down to Spiel for preventative maintenance. These things last forever.
The Wiremaster Pro is amazing. It does the work of three wire binders with half the labor. We love it.
We’ve been doing plastic coil binding for 30 years but David Spiel really took us back to school. He is the first vendor ever to teach us about pitch, and filament gauge, hole shape and diameters. The Coilmaster Jr. Plus rocks!
We had never done coil binding before we purchased The Sterling Digipunchmaster and The Coilmaster Jr. Plus. We bound 2,500 on our first day of production. Since we purchased them during the pandemic, we received no installation or training, just great installation and training videos.
I can’t say enough good about the people at this company. They are excellent to work with. I like the equipment they sell too.

What we like is the ease of operation and set up. The machine is what I call an open system, a machine where it is easy to see how it operates and easy to locate all the functions.
We’re getting 650 books per hour on The Coilmaster and we’re loving it. We have 250,000 books to do in the next two months and instead of dreading this job like we used to, we now say: Bring it on.
In-line coil forming and inserting is the most important feature for us on the Coilmaster. Buying and waiting for plastic coil proved to be a hardship. We can now optimize our production time, turning around multiple jobs more quickly.
We tried another automatic coil machine and it failed to perform. We bought a Coilmaster System and after it validated our decision, we bought two more systems. This machine gave us the production speeds we were looking for.
Primarily we bind thick books here, between 20 and 30 mm. The machine does a great job on thick books. We run the Sterling® Coilmaster almost two shifts a day and on 25mm books we average 250 books an hour. That sure beats getting 50 books an hour as we used to do by hand. Getting the job out the door is tough enough without having to have your coil shipped in by next day air from across the country. Besides, making your own coil saves you over 50% in plastic. I love The Sterling Coilmaster®.
We contacted SPIEL ASSOCIATES when we were quoting on a 300,000 run of really thick books. First it came in calling for a 32mm coil and the customer kept adding pages. It jumped to a 34, then 36, then finally, a 38mm coil. SPIEL was behind us all the way, modifying their Coilmaster® to go thicker and thicker.
We’re now binding 480 books per hour with 38mm coils. I don’t think we would have taken the job if we didn’t have the Coilmaster here. It does the job.
We got the job on the condition that we could start binding the books in two weeks. We needed a high speed punch, a collator, and a double loop wire binder. Also, we didn’t want all new equipment. After calling SPIEL ASSOCIATES, we were up and running in 10 days.

Hank takes his machine buying seriously– He has to. Running a bindery with two shifts, six days a week is a serious business and he expects serious output from his machines – Do you?
Hank counts on punching 120,000 sheets per hour with each of his two Sterling® Punchmasters – Do you?
He counts on versatility. He does not punch index tabs by hand, or covers, or signatures or board – Do you?
He counts on under 1% waste – Do you?
Hank punches for profit – Do you?
We’ve bound millions of books on our B-599. I can’t even imagine going back to semi-automatic equipment.

“The B-535 can produce 2,500 BPH– we can now compete on wire-o books at any quantity. ”

Sometime ago we purchased a Coilmaster Jr. TS from Spiel Associates. They also sold us a die for our Kugler. Since we need to punch some things manually, we purchased an adapter for our Renz manual punch to accept Kugler dies. It didn’t work and our supplier was unresponsive. We turned to Spiel Associates who recommended a PDI Rhino punch and die which cost less than a Renz die would have. Spiel explained that they could sell us a Renz die, but that it was more affordable now and the future to switch over to this kind of punch, since they hardly sell floor manual punches anymore due to the high cost of dies.
They have never steered me wrong and we love our new punch. Furthermore, when we had problems with our Kugler, Spiel Associates helped us fix it at no charge, even though we did not purchase it from them. I am really happy with every interaction I’ve had with Spiel Associates and I really appreciate it when a vendor is so helpful!
