I want to punch circles out of old credit cards and gift cards. Will this work? I have a project that I need the circles for.

Yes you can punch holes in plastic material like a credit card & recover the circle waste from the bottom of the tool. The waste usually falls out the bottom of the tool and hits the floor never to be seen again but if you are careful you could probably recover it OK.

it will punch holes in coins so it should work but they are holes not circles that are punched. You will not be able to use the circle it punches out. I hope this helps

Yes, that is exactly what I've been using them for and they work great! You may still need specialized punches for other work, like Roll Pin STARTER punches and some others if you are working on an AR platform that you can get from Brownells or Midway but all in all they are excellent!

I had one of these but it didn't work very well for me. Yes you can punch books up to about an inch thick but the cut wasn't consistent. They may have corrected the defective cutting die since but I cant be sure. I sold mine back to someone else and bought the akiles diamond model instead. It can only punch a stack of paper/ cardstock that's about 1/2 in thick but it does it cleanly.

I use an old credit card or those free mock-up ones that come with credit card offers. Old gift cards work well too. Someone else said to use a brayer to smooth out the glue and make the paper stick well, that sounds like a good idea. My old jar is a little drier and thicker than my new jar of paste so I would spritz a light mist of water on top of the glue if it is a little thick so the paper can be slid over the paste to get wrinkles out. Otherwise it holds in place right away when I lay the paper down and wrinkles are harder to get out. If you jar is very fresh you might not need to do this--I would try a sample sheet of paper first to determine how it works for you.

Instead of using tags with pre-punched holes I just use the needle from this tagging gun to poke a hole through the card stock and thread the plastic fastener. I've used it in this way to prepare hundreds of items for consignment. If you were to bother punching a hole, it would have to be significantly smaller than your average loose leaf paper hole since the plastic fasteners are quite thin. HTH.

I haven't but make sure you draw your image backwards. I have used Stamps tho and it works.

I am looking for a heavy duty hole punch. I have gone threw several hole punches and need one that makes smooth leather hole punches on literally a thousand usages. Will this do the job. ?

No, this machine punches small rectangular holes for comb binders. For spiral binding, you need little round holes for the spiral binders.

What a great idea! Yes, you could do that, and I'm going to as well! They are large and stiff so I think it will work best with a little padding under the paper you are stamping. I used them to make clay ornaments.

We are still using our old mechanical style punch cards. To the right side of the image where it looks like tinted glass, there is an arrow and a light that allows you to see were the clock will punch the time on the card. You just need to line up the slot to the arrow and push the time card in far enough to trigger the stamp. Still working pretty good, I like the fact that it takes a okidata style printer cartridge, rather than the old ribbon style.

I think you can. I used it to punch a stack of 10 pieces of paper and it worked fine. It should work on index cards.

What a great idea on using parchment circles! I don't have a cricut, but maybe I'll try my round punches.

This machine is designed to punch plastic as well as paper, but you won't be able to punch as many sheets of plastic as of paper. Make sure it fits loosely and easily into the slot before punching.

Yes, this will work, but it has no guides for you to align the paper before punching, so you have to wing it.

This uses dies, they probably have a square die. I would not buy this style, it's really outdated. You need one of the big shot or big kick. There's no end to the shapes they cut.
