1. A binding machine comprising:
a body part;
a feeding unit configured to feed a wire;
a first guide extending in a first direction from an end portion on one side of the body part, configured to guide the wire fed by the feeding unit, and having a first induction part for inducting a binding object provided on a tip end-side in the first direction;
a second guide spaced from the first guide with an interval, in which the binding object is inserted, in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and configured to guide the wire fed by the feeding unit; and
a twisting unit configured to twist the wire guided by the first guide and the second guide,
wherein the first induction part is constituted by a surface inclined in a direction in which the interval between the first guide and the second guide decreases from a tip end-side toward a base end-side of the first induction part in the first direction,
wherein the first guide includes a groove having a guide surface with which the wire is in sliding contact and a regulation member configured to curl the wire,
wherein a part of the regulation member protrudes toward the guide surface,
wherein the entirety of the first induction part is provided on a further tip end-side than an end portion of the groove on the tip end-side of the first guide,
wherein an inclination angle of the first induction part relative to an axis line of the twisting unit is equal to or larger than 6° and equal to or smaller than 45°, and wherein the first guide comprises a guide arm configured to guide the wire fed by the feeding unit, and wherein the first induction part is detachably mounted to the guide arm.
