Solid device for the cash

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:

Found it too time consuming to go to print shop to get documents bound and Staples offered this binder for half price. Now I know why. It was broken. But before I found out, I tried to follow the instructions but they are poorly written and incomplete. Didn't do anything until I watch a You Tube How-To video. Found out the small handle didn't go all the way back and that the lower prongs didn't slide to the left so it would open the comb. I am looking for another binding machine but it won't be a Fellowes.

Also found out it won't take combs larger than 5/8" which really limits its usefulness.

        It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out (I don't think the directions were the best) but once I got it, it was quite easy. If I knew they worked so well for under $100.00 I would have brought one years ago.

          We use this product every day to bind proposals for our clients and information packets for potential cusotmers. We used to use report folders, but they got to be expensive and we found ourselves buying them constantly. With this product, you just have to buy the presentation covers and binding spines which come in bulk. This means less trips to the store and less money in the long run. The reports are also very professional looking when finished.

          • 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 ?

            1 answer

            • A:

              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.

              This binding machine is designed to punches 10 sheets of paper at time and it is listed as a light duty comb binding machine for the small office. The manual does not state that this machine punches laminated pages.

            How many punches does this machine make? It is my understanding that the more hole punches you make, the easier the pages are to turn.

            • VERIFIED BUYER

              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!
