Fellowes Star Desktop Comb Binding Machine Overview
While a comb binding machine should be reliable and functional, it should also look good. That is where the Fellowes Star desktop comb binding machine, from ABCOffice.com, finds its mark. This compact little comb binder is sleek, elegant and folds up into a compact size that can be placed in a drawer, set up a desktop or be placed in a cupboard. Here are a few reasons why you may want to consider this binding machine.
The Fellowes Star desktop comb binding machine isnt designed for high-volume use. It is best used for home or small business operation for binding anywhere from 1 to 10 books a day. It can be used to bind a book up to 150 sheets thick and can use diameter 19-ring plastic combs.
The Star is a plastic comb binding machine, which means it is designed to be used with 19-ring plastic combs. While there are many manufacturers out there that make 19-ring comb supplies, such as GBC, this machine will use any 19-ring plastic comb. The holes punched by this machine are rectangular in shape and can be used to bind reports, presentations, cookbooks, booklets and other documentation.
One thing many people like about the Fellowes Star is the U-shaped ambidextrous handle. The handle design allows the operator to grasp and used the machine from multiple angles, making it a great machine for righties and lefties alike. If needed, the handle can also be accessed and used with both handles.
A sliding drawer, found under the machine, can be easily pulled out giving access to a storage drawer. This drawer can be used to hold supplies and includes a diameter selection guide. Simply place your comb in the diameter guide and it will let you know what its diameter is. This also makes it easy to determine what diameter comb should be used with a stack of paper for optimal results.
Portability is also a huge concern when shopping around for a comb binder. The Fellowes Star is extremely portable and even includes a built-in handle. This handle makes it easy to pick up, like a briefcase, and move around from one room or one desk to another. Weighing in at 15 pounds shipped, it is light enough to pick up, yet durable enough to withstand the test of time.
This comb binder is designed to work with letter size 8 " x 11" paper or A4 size paper. While it can be used to bind smaller sheets of paper, it does not have disengaging punching pins, sometimes referred to as selectable punching dies. This means you may end up with some half-punched holes. Many people, however, are able to get around this by playing around with the side guide.
