Can you use plastic comb binding with the zutter? Also can you choose the kind of holes you would like punched (round or square)?

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.

Yes, hole and plier had better match up. Actually a better way to go is to insert the button stem thru the fabric hole so that there is no chance of last minute misalignment. Having set thousands of these critters, its not worth the risk to do otherwise as the fabric item is worth more than the snap or your time.

From what I've read, contact piezo pickups (like this one) work better on metal melodicas than plastic, since they sense vibrations instead of moving air like a traditional microphone. It appears the "dedicated" melodica pickups like this one &lt;http://www.melodicas.com/melodica_pickup.htm&gt; use an acoustically transparent tape to attach and are sensitive to placement location when it comes to getting a balanced sound. A less expensive version can be found here &lt;http://www.kksound.com/products/bigshot.php&gt; and claims to be better at picking up vibrations on low mechanical resonance devices (like plastic) but both of these are quite a bit more expensive that the Korg. Also, the Korg is designed to clip onto the tuning head of a stringed instrument, not sure how that would work on a melodica, but even if you do find a good place to clip it on, I would imagine moving it around to get a more balanced sound might be problematic. If you have Prime, this version &lt;http://www.amazon.com/Korg-KORG-CM200BK-Clip-On-Microphone-Black/dp/B00CPG43LO/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1401102912&sr=1-2&keywords=Korg+CM-100L+Clip+On+Contact+Microphone+For+Tuners&gt; is slightly cheaper with free 2 day shipping... you could always order it, try it out, and if it doesn't work, return it. Hope this helps!

I have a jet band saw with the standard square slots that excepted the Olsen cool blocks. If you have the rectangular block slots it should work just fine.

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.

There are two small round discs that can be punched out if desired. I used the round end of a ball pen hammer and they came out cleanly. They are a little large but I think I am OK as I am putting a layer of gravel at the bottom. You could drill smaller holes.

Yeah I think there is a standard for the holes. They work well on my acoustic.

The label on this item states that the sizzix BigKick, BigShot and the Vagabond can be use with this item. I don't know how the Sizzix's older machine works, but people are using this die with the cuttlebug machine. Sorry, that I couldn't give you a direct yes or no answer, but I do hope that this can help.

I believe you mean the comb/body which is made out of plastic. Metal cover plates. Brass reeds.

I just tried it with both felt and cotton fabrics. A single layer punches ok, but fabric and felt were both 'pulled' into hole and punched hole had to be finished with scissors.. Double layers of both cut fine and were stiff enough to cut hole all the way through without having to trim with scissors. Triple layer of cotton punched fine; but felt was too thick.

It is a two step process. First you punch the holes and then you align the papers and put the comb on.

The plates are changeable for sure, but you would have to get ones that match the notches in the main part of the machine. Not sure what you mean about the laser engraver.

Hi Jay. It makes enough holes to fit with their proprietary plastic binding. That would be 32 very small holes (I just counted them). They are not adjustable in any way. Hope that is helpful.

First you cut a hole using the template enclosed. It is up to you to space them correctly, but if you put the center of template at the places you have marked for holes they look great. I used a chalk dot on the spots I wanted. Then you put 1/2 of grommet pair (the side with the rim) on bottom of hole. It is a little snug, but it will be OK. Then you put the other 1/2 over it and press down with the palm of your hand. Done. After you do one you will realize how incredibly easy it is and begin to think of other ways to use them!

I've found two that work. I'm pretty stoked! I'm getting out a Sharpie to mark those bad boys! You have to either remove the plastic thingie on the plunge base or get one longer screw to make it work. I haven't broken anything, but one of the holes is not backed by metal - be careful not to over tighten it because you will break the jig. The other hole is backed by a metal shelf - you can be a bit more aggressive with it. It also seems to work with the smaller Jasper 400 jig.

This model does NOT, bigger ones do. Here's what Mail Boss Says: "If you are using with the Mail Boss or Package Master there is a universal Fast-Trak Mounting Plate included that should work with that hole pattern no problem. If you are using the Mail Manager mailbox (does not include Fast-Trak) and the holes do not align, it is fairly straight forward to use an intermediary surface such as wood."

Yes you can. If the paper is too thin it might get distorted around the area where you punch the hole.
