While we don't have the BQ-460, we do have the BQ-140 and aside from a few hiccups it has been an absolute workhorse.

Thanks, This is our first Binder so I am not familiar with the BQ-140 Is the set up on that semi manual? If so do you have trouble getting the cover feeder to feed correctly without alot of tinkering.

Yes, it is semi-manual in that you place in the guts, clamp them in, press a button, place the cover in, press another button, then remove the finished book.

The cover doesn't feed in automatically (placed in one at a time), so I can't help you there.

Thanks for the input.

We have the BQ-470 here. Agreed - an absolute workhorse!

I have a BQ 270 currently. I'm thinking of getting an additional BQ470. Can the parts of these 2 models inter-changable?

The BQ-270 and BQ-470 are different technology platforms (single clamp versus four clamp) so you'll find few interchangeable parts...
