Fellowes Mfg Co. 5006501 Star+ 150 Manual Comb Binding Machine - White

I have been borrowing one of these from a neighbor and using it to make books for my handicapped child in order to keep his pictures together and even though I read the description and knew what the neighbors was this one is not as long and it is harder to punch with laminated covers on the pictures. it is just barely long enough. It seems to work great through and is easy to use...

This is a nifty little machine. Wonderful for presentations of school reports. It will punch 10 pages at a time and will bind up to a 150 page report. Very easy to use and stores great. I just slide mine into my bookshelf. This machine is good for small projects but I would not recommend for large offices. It has a comb storage tray that also helps measure so you know which size comb to use. It keeps all of your pages aligned the same so the holes will be in the same place when you punch them 10 at a time. The paper vertically loads. I had no idea they made something like this for reports and presentations until I received it through the Spark reviewer program. It has helped me many times with my work presentations. They look as if I had taken them somewhere and had them professionally done. I save a lot of money on small presentations with this do it yourself machine. I just love it! Great addition to my home office.

Just in time to make books of many things that I have wanted to organize into some sort of order (poems, recipes, etc.). I now have the machine to make this happen. This device is so easy to use. The directions are very clear and the illustrations are easy to understand. The Fellowes Star 150 Personal Comb Binder makes any project needing to be bond a snap to do. Instead of having to go to the professional printing company I can now just make my own books at home. This machine is very neat in appearance and doesn’t take up very much space. The cost of the materials for this binder is very inexpensive. For instance, the box of 25-¼ inch black plastic binding combs is under $4.00. This size comb is suitable for binding a book of 2-20 pages. The cost of a package of 25 clear letter size binding covers (great for the front of the book) is under $10. Likewise, a package of 25 black binding covers (suitable for using on the back of your book) is also under $10. With these supplies and this machine I am now set up to make 25 books already. The Fellowes company includes a customer service number and website address in the event that I had problems. I will share my projects with all of my friends on Facebook and let them know the machine I used to put the books together. I will be the envy of all of my friends.

Fellowes Star+ 150 Manual Comb Binding Machine is very convenient to have for personal use and for the small business owner. It is very handy in keeping things organized and protected. This binding machine is perfect for the scrapbook hobbyist and for getting old photographs in order. The small business owner will find it very effective for making anything from small pamphlets to professional looking bid presentations. The Fellowes Star+ 150 Manual Comb Binding Machine punches 12 pages of 20 lb. paper at a time. The binding can handle a document capacity of up to 150. When I first received the Fellowes Star+ 150 Manual Comb Binding Machine, I was a little concerned that it would take me a long time to be able to understand how to operate it properly. I was relieved to find out how relatively easy and uncomplicated it is to use. The instructions are very clear and simple. It is a matter of hole-punching your pages, lining up your binding circle and pressing the handle to the closed position. That is all there is to it. Just be sure to line up the binding circle properly, so all the tabs will interlock in the correct position.

Wow! This is great!! I have always thought about doing a family cookbook for my children and now I have. This machine is so simple to use and the quality of binding is very professional looking. There are other projects that I am thinking about but I had to do the cookbook first. My three sons each were given one and they are very proud of them. Now they know Mom's secrets. haha. I have only done three and they already have them or I would ad a photo of the cookbook. Sorry. But they would not wait for me to make photos. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone who needs to do a project and bind it to keep it together. Will work great for reports, teaching aides, safety manuals, etc. But this one is for me ..not going to work. :) Directions are simple and easy to follow. Great add on for me!
