RAYSON SD1202 Comb Binding Machine, 19 Holes, Max Punching Letter Size, with Comb Set Binder for Daily Binding

I like this well-made machine - metal construction, very sturdy, cuts very clean holes in paper.

We used this binder to create coloring books made with card stock paper. We only punched 2 pages at a time but it was easy and actually fun. When you measure what size binding spins you need, get at least the next size up. Our stack of pages (Book thickness) was 1/4 inch tall, the 3/8" worked but 1/2 " spins worked better. They were easier to bind. If you get the same size as the thickness of your book there is not enough room to place the paper on the spines when the machine opens them.

Why spend lots of money on binders when you can make your own. When you have booklets or study guides you can make them user friendly by putting binders on yourself.

Other than the handle feeling a little slip-slidey, this is an excellent product. I followed the instructions (also watched the product video) so learning to operate the binder was easy. The entire binding process was much quicker than I anticipated. For the record, the settings were accurate and held so that I didn't need to reset anything and probably won't as long as I'm using 8.5×11 paper. This binder cut through paper and plastic easily. I did stay under recommended maximum number of pages mostly because I was using heavy stock and 27 lb. paper for the project. Great machine.

It works great except it is too light. I have been using a larger heavier one from work. I have to stabilize this one when punching holes. For the price I paid, the item is satisfactory. However, I may spend more to get a heavier version.

We bought this machine to make blank booklets for our 7 year old grandson to use for his creative writing and drawing projects. He is thrilled to be able to make his own books. I bought this type of machine because I often used one when I worked as a school secretary, so I already knew how to operate one. I'm very pleased with the sturdiness of this binding machine and know it will last for many, many years.

Works great to punch holes and make booklets. Other binding machines are made of plastic and not sturdy. This one is made out of metal and punches holes easily without jamming the paper.

Pages do not punch evenly - the holes slant from top to bottom no matter how carefully you load the pages, no matter if you punch 1 or 5 pages. I have used binding machines for over 20 years and have NEVER had this problem. A complete and utter waste of time and money.
