    Default help with my Binding machines please!

    Hi could anyone with a binding machine please tell me the size of binding combs they use and how many sheet of paper they can get in them? I have made a book up today and can only get approx 50 sheets in comfortably, ( not sure what size the combs are that i have!) I have been looking on ebay but am unsure which size to go for?
    Thank you Kaz

    Not much good if you're ordering online, but the back of the packet usually tells you how many sheets. Mine say 6mm up to 20 sheets, 8mm up to 30 sheets and 10 mm up to 40 sheets. They are from stationary box.
