If you re trying to select a plastic comb binding machine for your office, one machine you should look at is the Fellowes Galaxy. Fellowes is a highly respected name when it comes to business machines and the Galaxy plastic comb binding machine is one of their better products. This review will outline the strengths and limitations of the Galaxy, so you can make an informed choice as to whether this machine is the right one for your workplace.
The Fellowes Galaxy is a manual plastic comb binding machine that offers a high level of performance for both medium sized and large offices. This is a heavy duty machine that can bind documents that contain up to 500 pages and the punching mechanism can punch 25 sheets of paper at one time. The Galaxy has a vertical loading area so you can always punch your documents perfectly.
One of the Galaxy s best features is the handle. It has been ergonomically designed so that everyone will be able to easily use the machine, whether you re right or left handed. A lot of binding machines have a handle on either the right or left side of the machine, which can make binding a challenge for some people. Another great user friendly aspect of the Galaxy is its removable binding apparatus. This means that both punching and binding can occur simultaneously. Using this feature, you will be able to boost your productivity by having one person bind while the other punches.
Other features of the Galaxy plastic comb binding machine include a storage tray for binding combs, as well as a tool that helps you gauge which size comb you should use for your document. The chip tray is located in the front of the machine, and it is easy to open it up and dispose of the chips. Finally, the Galaxy has a rotary edge guide that allows you to control the size of your document s side margin. This, along with the ability to disengage some of the machine s punching pins, allows you to control where your document is punched. It also lets you bind documents that are not only letter sized, but half letter and A4 sized, as well.
The Galaxy is a pretty good plastic comb binding machine, but it does have a few shortcomings. The first of these is the number of disengageable pins. The Galaxy only has three of them and while this enables you to bind a couple of different sizes of documents, it would have been nice if Fellowes had made all the pins disengageable so you could bind just about any document, including legal sized items. Also, even though the Galaxy has a respectable punching capacity, it may be tedious to punch longer documents. If that s the case, Fellowes offer an electric version of the Galaxy (known as the Galaxy E) which can help make the punching process a little faster.
Overall, the Fellowes Galaxy E plastic comb binding machine is a good choice for offices that need a machine with a good punching and binding capacity. This machine is easy to use, it has a great ergonomic design, and it also has a two year warranty. Plus, it comes with a starter kit that contains enough binding supplies for you to get started. If you need a plastic comb binding machine, you should give the Fellowes Galaxy some consideration.
