This specification discloses a wire banding method and machine, which comprises a base member, a circular guideway and wire feeding and tensioning means. Wire is fed across the base and past an article to be bound and then around the guideway until the leading edge thereof strikes a stop. At this time, clamping means on a first member on the base clamps and holds the leading end of the wire. Then the feeding means is reversed to tension the wire about the article. At the end of the tensioning step a second member on the base clamps the wire and the wire is severed prior to welding, then during the welding operation means are provided to prevent the welding current from damaging the articles being banded, then after welding the ends of the wire band, the weld is tensioned to check the integrity thereof.
