Disclosed is a binding machine for binding papers such as chits, documents and the like by means of a binding cord which is formed simultaneously with the binding operation from a plastic tube, so that the troublesome work of preparing the binding cord and inserting it into the binding bore can be dispensed with. The binding machine has means for forming a binding bore through stacked papers to be bound, means for feeding the plastic tube as the material for the binding cord by a length corresponding to the height or thickness of the stacked paper, and adapted to sever the fed plastic tube during the upward movement of the drill after the boring, and means for inserting the severed plastic tube and heating the both ends of the severed plastic tube under application of a pressure to form these ends into respective flanges, thereby to complete the binding. These means are all installed unitarily to render the machine compact and easy to operate. A rapid and easy binding can be made, even by those who are not skilled in operation of the machine, ensuring a good appearance and durability of the bound papers, without substantially damaging the papers.
