James Burn 2:1 Square-Hole Punch Die - 48 Holes (6x6mm), EX610

The James Burn 2:1 square-hole punch die is interchangeable tooling for the James Burn EX610 automatic punch. A 2:1 pitch is the pattern used for twin-loop (double-loop) wire binding, and this die punches a square 6x6mm hole, 48 holes across the sheet. Because the EX610 takes interchangeable dies, a shop can switch between hole patterns by changing the tool rather than buying a separate machine for each binding style.

Square-hole 2:1 tooling is the choice for twin-loop wire jobs that need the clean, squared punch pattern that wire elements seat into. Mid-State Litho is an authorized James Burn International dealer that supplies, installs, and services the EX610 line and the wire binding and tooling that run on it.
