Review: Great binder machine - I purchased this product to bind a cookbook I was making for our +50 church group. It worked as expected. Easy to operate and I like the compact design. I purchased the Fellows brand as i know that is a brand that produces quality products. I was 100% satisfied with this purchase.
Review: Highly recommend especially if you are home schooling - Homeschooling must have!! This is a 19 hole binding machine for standard letter size paper. I highly recommend it works extremely well! Some of the top positives of this machine is size, lid, compact, heavy duty, 2 hand punching handle, etc. I have only 1 negative and that is that it only goes up to 19 holes. If you plan to laminate the pages it will not fit in the machine to punch holes. You will need a cutter to trim the bottom of laminated projects to fit into the machine. If laminating you will also want to only punch one or two pages at a time. Photo attached to show how much needed to be trimmed off from each page, which isn’t a lot. So I still highly recommend even if you need to trim.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use wire combs**
A: I found an answer from Apr 4, 2015 - Chris C. wrote, "This is a comb binder only, you would need to purchase a specific binder for wire. One we carry and recommend is the Fellowes Quasar Wire."  Another person said this binder is for plastic combs only.

**Q: Will this machine punch through a laminated document/page?**
A: Not very well, I've had this machine for a year and when I try to punch through laminate sheets it doesn't cleanly cut through it and then I have to get a scissor and cut off the still attached pieces.

**Q: Can I use this to add more pages to a book I've already put together? Or is it a one shot thing?**
A: You can add more pages but it's labor intensive.  You have to remove the current binding, add the pages and rebind.  You may be able to put the book and binding back on the machine, carefully put the new pages on top and close the binding up again.  This also depends where in the book you want to add new pages since you will have to manually put on the backend wherever you are in the book.

**Q: Will the book that results lay flat? This is what I need for binding music, which then will go on a music stand.**
A: Then bind them at the top!  That's all i can think to do.  It's really stupid that music is 1" larger in each dimension.  I'm having the same issue.  I wanted to scan the book so I can use it on my computer as a pdf, still too big!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 1st Binding Machine
*by N***. on June 9, 2016*

The Star Plus manual binding machine was my first purchase of its kind. I went for the cheapest model ($60) because I wasn't sure how easy or practical it would be for everyday use... It just arrived and I am happy to report that I am in love! I remember using one of these in a grade school class once, it seemed huge and hard to use at the time. The Star Plus is very compact and takes up minimal space on my crafting desk. The Packaging: A The shipment arrived in a huge box but packed well enough that the box inside did not move around. Once I took the 2nd brown box out of the brown Amazon box, I was greeted with the ACTUAL white box of the binding machine nestled between two packing egg-cartons that kept it secure. There was not much inside, just the machine and 2 slips of paper (warranty and a very useless starter guide). The Machine: A- The Star Plus was surprisingly heavy for its size; a good thing. It gives off that feeling of "I'll last for years!" every time I touch or lift of pull on anything. The only thing I dislike is the high gloss finish on the white parts of the machine, but I'll get over it. I've also read reviews where this particular model does wear down over time for others... I'm not sure how heavy they used it, but I'll wait and see. From what I can tell from handling mine, I think it should last long enough to pay for itself. Instructions: F The instructions that came in the box are pretty useless. I went on YouTube and watched a 5 minute video to figure out how to use the machine. Ease of Operation: A+ My favorite part of the whole thing is how easy (and fast) it is for me to bind my own books. This is how simple it is to use: 1) Lift the handle and lid up 2) Slip the covers/papers into the slot 3) Pull the handle down and back up again to punch your holes 4) Place the comb behind the teeth and push it towards you so that they take up the space between each teeth. Make sure that the opening is facing up and that solid spine part is facing down 5) Pull the left lever toward you until it opens the comb wide enough for you to slip the paper in 6) Slip the punched papers into the teeth 7) Push the lever away from you to close the comb and finish binding I love that I can put a bound book back between the teeth to open and edit the pages freely! There is also a tray that holds all the punched mess. There are probably other features I haven't tried yet, but for now, this is all I need to get my book done in a couple minutes. The Cost: A+ Buying from Amazon was the best option. It was about 50% off retail. But more importantly, the component materials were also very cheap on Amazon. There were 8 sizes of combs available to my 150 page capacity machine. The first 4 boxes of 100 each were around $5 each. The other 4 boxes of 100s were about $10 each. They retail for about $15. I also ordered the clear plastic covers but may just look for some heavy cardstock to make my own covers in the future. This was a much cheaper alternative to the thermal (Helios) machines I was looking at. Those thermal covers cost so much! Plus, I like the ability to remove/add to my books with the comb system. And the fact that I don't have to plug anything in or worry about heating problems. If my Star Plus ever breaks down or if I ever feel the need to bind more than 150 pages at a time, I won't hesitate to purchase the higher models. Just wish I'd bought one of these things sooner.
