This La Fornigrafica FEM is a used book binding machine, specifically a joint-setting machine — also known in the trade as a joint-pressing or spine-creasing machine — used in the finishing stages of book production to form and set the hinges or joints between a hardcover board and the book block, giving the case-bound book its characteristic opening groove and structural rigidity.
The seller's notes confirm a working width of 500 mm, which indicates the maximum spine or joint length the machine can accommodate in a single pass. The machine carries serial number 3. It is located in Emskirchen, near Nuremberg, Germany, and is available for immediate inspection and testing on-site. A Skype video inspection is also available for remote buyers.
The machine was manufactured in 1982 and is offered in used condition.
