Thanks for adding that
nvm - I thought you meant that they had them for sale at officeworks too so we could price match.
Guess it's straight to WoW tomorrow :] Thx OP(delete mod)
Here is a link to the binding combs at OW - they come in many sizes depending on the number of pages you want to bind - http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Office-Supplie…
Here is the link to the Aldi ones too - http://aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/2827_20573.htm
What's the max number of pages you can bind? with the combs
According to the side of the box the maximum is 180 sheets on an 18mm comb - might be optimistic but no way of knowing for now - probably depends on the paper thickness too
The website says this though:
•Punching capacity: 8 sheets 80g paper
•Binding Capacity: maximum 150 sheets 18mm
Just wondering, what store did you purchase at and what is stock level like?
There's quite a bit of stock at all Brisbane stores. Always a safe bet to phone ahead though. 13 28 38 will get you in contact with your closest store.
Delivery to Sydney ($16 or $11.30) costs more than the machine :-(
First, I hoped for free shipping, then, when I saw it was going to cost me something, in true OzBargainer fashion, I checked around for a WoW store nearby. Albury, Canberra and Coffs. I don't think this deal is happening for us.
EDIT: But still, good buy for everyone who can get to a WoW store.
I bought it last week with the $10 postage (cheaper option) and it arrived less than 24 hours later (Thu 2pm to Fri 11am). Fastest I've ever had anything delivered. I think $20 delivered for it is pretty good - I'd been looking around and most other ones are $40-60 and the difference in quality isn't that great (between the sub-$100 ones). Pretty reasonable quality (although I'm surprised it was $70) - I'm only pushing it to 3 sheets of paper at the moment (it had a problem with 8) and have yet to work out how to get the combs to stay open enough without stretching (as the opener seems to have two 'settings' - one a bit too close and one that stretches the rings).
A great price for a home binding machine.
"Binding Capacity: maximum 150 sheets 18mm"
Is this the capacity of the binding machine?
Or limited by …?That is the maximum size of the binding comb (spine) that you can use with it. So, it means that the thing can only open a 18mm diameter comb, which is still pretty hefty.
But the main thing is the 8 sheet punching capacity. In reality that means it will probably only punch 6 sheets of real paper, and even less of the plastic or cardboard covers. So, to do a 20 page + covers, you would probably punch the pages in 4 lots…. then bind all of them in the second step.
Out of stock
Its gone - OUT OF STOCK
I just bought one about 5 minutes ago in store. There were at least 12 sitting in the Annerley store
right at the entrance. I'd recommend going in store rather than buying online, you're wasting $10 on shipping.
Here's some photos of the device:

It's not too bad, definitely worth the $10, but $70 is total bs. I'd say WOW buys them for $5-8
No problems punching 8 sheets+Where do you purchase the combs or binding plastic part from? Are they cheap?
I buy mine from the newsagent (Nextra) - Rexel pack of 25 x 6mm - sticker on box says $3.75. I also have a box of Rexel 25 x 9.5mm which were $4.95. I also bought the plastic covers from same place - pack of 50 for $10.95. I also just buy regular packets of A4 cardboard (white or colour) for backing. You can get the fancy leather-grain card but it's dearer.
Aldi, $10 for the covers, backing boards and combs
