Comments about Fellowes Quasar 500 Manual Comb Binding Machine:

This machine gets the job done. The holes are punched perfectly and there isn't any trouble aligning cover sheets with the paper when using the same setting for both. I love how the punched paper is stored with easy pull out for disposal. Love the product. Its still in great shape after many uses around the office. The only complaint for me is that the lever is kind of hard to pull up after hole is punched.

Q:
1. can you punch only sets of 20 or less in one process and then bind more pages up to 500? Will it punch clear front plastic and heavier back sheet in one process? Will holes line up from papers punched to the front and back covers? I use 32 lb. laser print paper for my presentation paper. How many can it punch of this thickness?
2. Can you edit presentation material, put in extra or change out a page after binded? So the process would be to OPEN Comb, INSERT page, then CLOSE Comb back up.

  A:
  This unit will punch 20 sheets of 20lb weight paper at a time, but will bind 500 at a time. The thicker the paper the less sheets the unit will punch and bind. You can also reopen the comb to make changes to the final product.

Q:
Once the binders are made, if I need to add a few sheets in the middle, can you open the comb, place the pages and close again?
