Wire binding is a way to give your documents a sophisticated look and the Quasar 130 double-loop wire binding machine from Fellowes can help you easily lend this look to your bound documents. If you need a wire binding machine for your office, continue reading to discover what the Quasar 130 can do for you.
The Quasar 130 was made to be used moderately and it's a good choice for medium-sized offices. This machine can punch up to 15 pages at once and it can bind documents up to 130 pages long with 9/16" wire, making it ideal for binding marketing materials, reports, and so on. The pitch of this machine is 3:1, meaning it punches 3 holes per inch of paper. The Quasar 130 is really easy to use and it has a vertical document loading area so you'll be able to accurately punch your paper every time. One great feature of the Quasar 130 is the ability to punch and bind at the same time. Not a lot of binding machines have this capability, but it's good feature to have because it will help you save time. The machine also has an ergonomic, U-shaped handle that makes it easy bind whether you're right- or left-handed.
Some of the Quasar 130's other features include a document measurement tool and a storage tray for your binding spines. The chip tray has a little window so you can see when you need to empty the tray. Like many of Fellowes' binding machines, the Quasar 130 folds up for simple storage and transport. Finally, the company has made it easy to get started thanks to a binding starter pack that's included with every machine. This pack includes both covers and binding spines so you can get binding and not have to run out and buy supplies in order to get started with the machine.
The Quasar 130 does lack two key features: disengageable dies and an adjustable margin depth control. These features allow you to punch and bind different sized documents. If you'll be punching and binding documents longer than 11 inches long, the Quasar 130 isn't a good machine for you. (You can't even punch shorter pieces of paper with the Quasar 130 because the lack of disengageable dies means you'll end up with an extra hole in your paper.) Also, although the machine looks sleek and folds up, it's made of plastic so it might not hold up to years of heavy-duty use. If you're going to be doing a lot of binding and need the ability to bind differently sized documents, you should probably consider a different machine.
Overall, the Quasar 130 is another quality product from Fellowes that produces high-quality binding. It's easy to use, produces gorgeous documents, and it will help save you time by allowing you bunch and bind at the same time. Also, the binding starter pack is a welcome, thoughtful addition. The Quasar 130 is the wire binding machine to get if you need such a machine for your office.
