It is so rare that I have to make bias binding anymore that I can't justify buying one. I have every size metal makers and just use those when I need to. I kind of enjoy that process myself. The only time I make it is when there is lots of curves to the edges that need bias to round the edges properly.
I use the straight of grain binding like elenore burns shows in many of her books. It doesn't have to be ironed at all. Just halved, machine applied and stitched to the other side and looks wonderful when it is finished.
