This product paid for itself the first time we used it -- by saving hours of folding in a letter campaign.

So far, it has held up well; and has been acurate. I haven't had the same problems that I saw on other reviews -- such as the ability to keep the letters on the tray. You need to set the tray up properly; and when you do, the letters generally stay in a stack without falling down. If you set it up slightly wrong, they'll fall off the edge.

The one problem I had involved trying to set a stack onto the feeder while it was still running from the previous stack. Don't do it. It jammed the machine and made me redo a dozen sheets. It only takes 5 seconds to press the stop button, load the paper, and turn it back on.

Otherwise, after several months and several jobs, it has been reliable, sturdy and productive.

We have had this machine for 3 months and have been fairly disappointed with it. We use it a couple of times per week, but spend an inordinate amount of time adjusting it. It is costing me more in lost productivity than it ever saved in the first place. We will be replacing this model with a much more stable unit...if I can find one!

                  Comments about Martin Yale Premier RapidFold Automatic Letter Folder:

                  We purchased this machine in April of 2012. It worked ok, once you fiddled with the adjustments to get a good fold. The rack that is supposed to collect the folded items? Useless. Needs to be redesigned so it actually catches the folded items correctly. As it is, you have to sit there to collect the sheets, or let it collect by itself and then straighten them out. Starting a couple of months ago, the problems really started. First off, one of the adjustment knobs on the lower guide stripped due to it being very thin metal. Plus I was able to clamp it in place so it would not move. Then it started misfeeding paper, folding in the wrong place and at an angle, ruining about 25% of the sheets. I tried feeding the sheets individually, still did the same thing. And it was sporadic, you could not predict when or which sheets it would mangle. And all of this was after approx 1000 sheets fed thru. Since it was less than a year old, I wrote for warranty assistance. Martin Yale said that I overtightened one of the knobs, causing it to strip, and they wanted to sell me the parts. They also said I needed a tune up kit, at a cost of over $50 to straighten out the misfeed problem. After only a 1000 sheets!
                  Now, we are back to folding them by hand. Luckily we don't have that much to fold, but it was kind of convenient while it lasted....

                      Take the time and patience to assemble and set this machine up according to the instructions provided. Make sure that you adjust the rear folding tray as well as the front one because this is a dual fold process. Then it is a Godsend! It flawlessly folded single sheets and each fell into the tray, not on the floor. When using the bypass for two and three pages it works equally as well but it is more time consuming because you have to put the three pages together and then feed them evenly into the slot - one set at a time. Still better than by hand. All in all this unit saved me hours of hand folding and best of all no paper cuts!

                        Comments about Martin Yale Premier RapidFold Automatic Letter Folder:

                        I purchased this machine 10-13 years ago and have used it for the past 5 years, on a daily basis - folding our invoices. It's a bit tricky to calibrate the machine when you need to change settings for varying folds. But, aside from the recent pad breakdown, we've gotten great use from this folder. Only wish we could find someone to repair it for us - still working save the "feed pads!" I glued one on but the other is torn in half.

                        • Q:

                          We are looking for an automatic paper folder that can detect when to fold rather than having to change it each time a paper is different. Basically, we have a mass mailing we send out every week and i have to fold these letters so the names show in a windowed envelope. The problem is that each letter has the name and address lower or higher than the previous one, so a regular letter folder won't work. Do you have anything like that? And if so which item would best suite my needs. Thank you.

                            This letter folder is designed to make half and tri-folds, and for the tri-folds, you can set it up to produce either letter folds (c-folds) and z-folds. What you described is not an intended use of the letter folder, but you could experiment to see if you can get it to make the folds you want in two steps (with you manually intervening in the middle) and return it if it does not do what you want it to.
