I have used 2 sizes, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch. in my machine and they worked great with the machine. the combs come in many sizes offered and they indicate how many pages can be used for each size. The project i was working on was 40 pages and used the 1/2 inch to accomodate that and turned out wonderful. good luck with your project.

The comb from tip of handle to bottom of comb is 9 and 1/2 inches...the spaces between are 1/4 of an inch....really big and really spaced out...

Just a FYI the 4:1 coil bindings do work for this machine. I just used one for making my 200+ page planner.

Yes I have used the Zutter combs - but was not totally happy with the way they closed. There is no option to change between hole shapes. Personally I prefer the Zutter - this one just happens to be able to handle more capacity. I have never had an issue with closing the Zutter combs on the Zutter machine, I have had several re-do's using the Memory Keepers machine.

I've only used the half inch size but I think you can use other sizes too. It has a comb measuring tool so you use the right size comb for your jobs and people seem to buy other sizes when they buy this binder.

The smaller comb is the sending and the larger comb is the receiver... Very happy and noticeable improvement with these. I trust Amazon... Not worth taking a chance

I have used several different sizes of combs with it. I have had no problem at all with the actual binding but the punching of holes can be a problem if the paper is not properly seated. I usually can't use more than 3-4 sheets at most or I have problems. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can bind on the 8 1/2 inch side. You may have to adjust the guide to get the spacing right on the holes. I use the 11" combs and just cut them with a pair of scissors. They are very easy to cut. Honestly, I never thought to look to see if 8 1/2 " sizes were available. Hope this helps.

I have a brother LS-2125 and BL 137A2- it's also an embroidery machine. So far works great on both machines. Planning to try it on my singer CXL next week.

This comb binder is made to bind books made with the typical 8.5 X 11 inch "letter" size paper. But any size paper up to that size can be bound by simply cutting the plastic comb to fit the paper length you intend to bind. In other words, yes, you can make your 6 X 9 size book, or whatever size you want, since the binding machine cuts whatever size paper you place into it. I don't know if the different sized combs are available for purchase. Just cut the length of the comb (11 inch) according to your desired book size. The machine works very well. Make sure you place the comb into the machine according to the instructions and that the comb opens by the handle. If not, you put it in backwards. Have fun!

The comb part is 3" long (from end to end) and 1" in width. As far as the teeth the width is approximately 1/16 of an inch... I hope I answered your question

Plus, you wouldn't be able to buy binding combs with only 19 teeth...I guess you could cut two off...but the machine is not adaptable like that

I believe there are 4 combs that are numbered 1,2,3, and 4 which correspond to 1/8,1/4,3/8,and 1/2. I did not use any of the combs because of matting and got excellent results, in my opinion. I highly recommend this product because it does what it is supposed to and saves considerable money in the process.

The machine comes with a limited suppy of combs. You will want to buy a larger supply with a greater variety of sizes to suit your needs. The combs are available on Amazon or from your local office supply store.

I have had the same problem getting a comb attachment for this model. The best solution is to take the old comb piece to a beauty supply store and see if they have a generic attachment that will fit. I'm actually concerned about investing too much in my dryer as if you read the reviews there has been a large number of incidence of this model exploding or catching fire (read ratings with 1 star). Good luck with your search
