Mid-State Litho is an authorized Rhin-O-Tuff dealer in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Rhin-O-Tuff builds heavy-duty punches, coil systems, wire closers, and automation modules for print shops and binderies that run coil, wire, and comb every day. We sell, install, train, and service Rhin-O-Tuff equipment across Michigan and the Great Lakes.
This brand page indexes the Rhin-O-Tuff line we list: Onyx and HD punches, punch dies, coil binding and coil inserters, wire closers, and paper-handling modules (PAL, APES, Tornado). For style hubs, start at binding machines, spiral and coil binding, wire binding machines, comb binding machines, and paper punching.
Sizing a punch is a pattern mix, daily lift count, and die-change conversation. We will match the frame and dies to your work, quote trade-in when an older punch still has life, and put the machine on the floor with operator training. Financing and leasing is available through Mitsubishi HC Capital and LEAF Commercial Capital. Call 1-800-343-4231.
Onyx and HD punches
Rhin-O-Tuff production punches are built around interchangeable dies so one frame can run coil, wire, comb, and common loose-leaf patterns without a second machine. Live models on this collection include:
- Onyx HD7725H Ultima (hydraulic-assist production punch)
- Onyx HD7000
- HD7500 (wide-format / specialty punch path)
- Onyx OD4012 (open-ended punch for oversized and odd-sized stock)
- Tornado Autopunch EX II (automated punch path)
Die sets for these frames are listed as separate products so you can stock the patterns you run most: HD-7725 dies, HD-7000 dies, HD-7500 horizontal dies, OD-4012 dies, and Tornado Autopunch EX II dies.
Confirm sheet capacity, open-ended vs closed throat, and die inventory on the quote. Do not assume every pattern ships with the punch.
Coil binding systems and inserters
After the punch, coil work needs insertion and finish. Live Rhin-O-Tuff coil equipment includes the Coil Binding System 3000 (CBS3000) all-in-one path and the HD4170 coil inserter module for pairing with a production punch. Browse multi-brand coil machines on spiral and coil binding and supplies on binding supplies.
Wire closers
Wire-O (twin-loop) work needs a closer matched to wire size and volume. Live closers: HD8000, HD8024, and Onyx HD8370 automatic wire closer. Pair with a compatible punch die for the wire pitch you sell. See wire binding machines.
Automation and paper handling modules
High daily punch counts need help separating, feeding, and stacking so the operator is not lifting every sheet. Live modules include the Onyx APES-14 advanced punching and ejection system, PAL-14 Auto Pick-A-Lift, and Onyx PAL-M manual paper separator. The Tornado Autopunch EX II path is for shops that want punching with less hand-feeding.
How to choose Rhin-O-Tuff equipment
Four decisions settle most quotes.
Patterns you sell. Coil, wire, comb, and loose-leaf each need the right die. One Onyx/HD punch with a die drawer often beats three single-purpose office punches.
Daily lift count. Occasional manuals can live on a mid-volume Onyx punch. All-day production points to HD7725H Ultima or Tornado automation, plus PAL/APES modules.
Finish path. Coil needs an inserter (CBS3000 or HD4170). Wire needs a closer (HD8000 / HD8024 / HD8370). Comb needs an opener and comb stock (we will confirm live SKUs on the quote).
Brand fit. Rhin-O-Tuff is a commercial modular punch brand. We also sell Akiles and James Burn. MyBinding wins a lot of office long-tail; we write and stock for print-shop duty and service in Michigan.
