I am going to purchase my planing forms from Bellinger, and would appreciate opinions concerning which binder (Wagner vs. Bellinger) to select. Thanks.

Hope you get lots of good replies as I am going to place a new Wagner binder for sale this coming Sunday.Of course it will be less than buying it direct. dave

I have the bellinger binder so will give my impressions . I find the binder to be excellent in every way.I have most of my sections come out of binding with
no need for straightning. I dont have any experience with the other.

Ron,
I've owned both. I sold the Bellinger last year at SRG and kept the Wagner. I really like the option of using the Wagner Degere-style with an endless belt. I didn't care for having to pre-load the Bellinger with drive belt material before binding. Plus the Wagner is 225.00 vs. 395 for the Bellinger. Dennis |

I own and use both and both work quite well. I use the Bellinger to bind strips to the Boyd heat treating aluminum extrusions. I use the Wanger for binding
glued strips. It works for binding hex, penta and quad strips. If I had to choose only one it would be the Wagner.

I've owned several different binders over the last few years and hands down I would recommend the new bellinger binder. If you have not seen the new
binder (not pictured on the web site) it comes with two binding boards that attach directly to the binder. As a result you do not need to mount them
seperately. Since buying this binder I have gone ahead and sold a couple of others as I will never go back. There are also a couple of other advantages to
the Bellinger binder over the Wagner. PM me if you would like to discuss some details.

The Bellinger binder has been updated and the website picture is incorrect and the price has been reduced as well. I love this binder, straighter strips, ez
clean up and in feed and out feet arms. The knotless binder cord is simple and inexpensive. Feel free to PM if you have any questions. I have not used a Wagner
binder and am unable to comment on it.
