I tried and different brand but had to return it because it was impossible to use and flimsy. This was slightly more expensive but is way, way easier to use!

Very disappointing. Regardless of how carefully I check, at least once (or more often) per binding project, the machine punches either at an angle, or off the edge of the page. This requires a lot of reprinting - and wasted time - which negates what had originally looked like an excellent price. The design does not allow for easy inspection or clearing of the area where the punch-outs land before going to the collection tray. Now, before every punch, I need to very carefully check for obstructions, and still, I get at least one mis-aligned punch per project. Would recommend AGAINST this machine.

        Comments about Fellowes Star 150 Manual Comb Binding Machine:

        Based on the other reviews here I'm beginning to wonder if I've received a defective product. I am not at all happy with this machine. I worked in a tax firm for 15 years and was binding on a daily basis. I bought this machine to at my new job to help cut down cost on farming out the few binding projects we have. I think i've wasted more money on reprinting pages. The page guide does not stay put, the binding teeth get stuck and produce an uneven punch and slows the process down considerably. I would say if you need to use this infrequently and have a lot of time to complete your project this may be a good machine. Otherwise, I would not recommend it.

          Comments about Fellowes Star 150 Manual Comb Binding Machine:

          I needed to create a booklet that did not rip and would stay flat. Pulling it from the box, the first thing I noticed was how solid it appreared to be. I then started to use it (without reading the instructions) and it worked perfectly. The only down side, and this is minor, the handle is in the way when placing the paper in to it. But; that is no big deal. I would tell anyone to purchase this if asked.

              Comments about Fellowes Star 150 Manual Comb Binding Machine:

              I bought this to put together some directories for a ladies retreat I organized. Once we figured out which way to put the comb in - which is with the part you put the paper onto...UP! It was easy to use. The directions were not clear on how to do it. Other than that, it works great! We made about 50 directories in about 2 hours. We were also printing the pages as we did it so it may have been less time if we were not printing. Since then I have used it at home for a few things and I find it very easy to use, the books are sturdy and do not come apart. I would recommend using card stock or something similar to put on the front and back of your books. I am pleased with this machine. If you do plan to do a lot of binding I would suggest the electric one that was about $100 more but for light use, this is great.

                • Q:

                  a previous question and answer stated this punches 22 holes. So does this work with the "standard 19 ring binder system" ? I already have 19-ring binders so I am wondering whether it will work with them. If it does, how ? Does it need to be adjusted to do so ?

                    If living in the US, 19 holes is the standard and according to one European owner, the device only punches 19 holes, despite having 21 pin for all types of comb bindings.

                    A:

                    Yes the binding machine will bind up to 8.5 x 11. In the past I have cut the binding combs to fit my size needs. The combs are a standard 8.5 x 11. This machine does come with a built in guide, so odd sizes are easy to align. As far as the heavier weigh paper stock, I've used 32 lb with no problem at all, however I only punched 4 sheets at a time. If you use a lot of heavier weight paper, I would consider upgrading the to the next level machine. Hope that helps!
