I have 20 page, heavy stock, sales lit to hole-punch for 3-hole binder. Can this punch handle that? Almost 1/16 of inch thick.

not sure what by "heavy stock" you mean. Te most I tried was 30 pages of 24lb weight; the puncher hesitated, but handled it nicely. It is heavy duty, but for your application I am not sure if you require better one. From the other hand, Amazon has excellent returning policy. FYI: the stapler is made in China.

I just got this. I have cut magazines up to 0.5 inches thick. I bought it to digitize my magazine collection. I haven't tried to cut any thick types of paper.

Yes the Woodruff Industries hole punch can punch holes in most materials, naturally it depends on the thickness of the material.

Yes. The page length is standard with the holes spaced to fit a standard 3-ring binder, but the page width is only about 7-1/2" (so these pages are more narrow than the other sizes of plastic pockets I have in my binder--which doesn't bother me at all).

That depends on if you use them double sided or if you only use them on one side. Stacked on to each other 50 pages with not every slot filled is about 6.5 inches thick however the ways the binders and pages are designed they do not look it because it of how the multiple sets of ring varies the pages there are 4 sets of 3 rings in the binders and i have discovered with every slot filled that one set of rings holds around 22- 24 pages with being overfull .

I've used this with 1/4" and 3/8" combs with no problem. I've bound about 100 books (~70 pages each) at a time. The only thing is you can punch only up to 20 sheets of 20# paper at once, so it can take some time. I think that is the max capacity for tabletop models. If you punch something thick like acetate cover sheets, then do no more than 4 or 5 at a time; I tried to punch a thick stack and jammed the machine. It was difficult to disassemble and clear the mess out.

I have the 1/4 in and it does punch through but not well. It's most likely because the hole is too small.

Hi, I would imagine so. I've used this excellent punch on all kinds of material especially fairly thick leather. Thanks, Bill

It's a basic 3 hole punch for letter paper (8 1/2 x 11). It is adjustable but not sure how you would hole punch legal paper.

I purchased this paper punch and its works very well for my 7 hole pages. However, my planner has the center 3 holes slightly closer together. Double check your planner to see if this is also true for yours. The punches can NOT be adjusted on this unit.

No. It's a light duty press, 500 pounds. To estimate the punching force required, multiply the hole perimeter x material thickness x shearing strength. 3.5" x pi = 10.99 inches. A reasonable guess at the side plate thickness is 0.050", and aluminum shearing strength is around 30,000 PSI. Hence the punch force required is: 10.99 x 0.05 x 30,000 = 16,500 pounds. To punch a 3.5" diameter hole I would look at a conduit punch or a hole saw, although the punch will leave a much cleaner hole than will a hole saw.

It will punch regular card stock no problem. You'd have to experiment to find out how many sheets it will do at one time.

Punch works well as long as you only do 1 or 2 sheets and you make sure that the sheets are all within the punch tabs. Once I got used to these two issues, the punch works fine for my Day timer.

You're the second person I've tried to help with this issue. According to Brother it will not handle card stock. 30 lb paper is probably its limit. Other than that, this is an excellent, reliable, fast, easy to maintain, with lower cartridge costs than its competitors.

Yes, I tested this using the 50-sheet multi-purpose tray. You will need to adjust your margins accordingly as notebook paper is a non-standard size of 8" x 10.5" Things to consider: Lined notebook paper with pre-punched holes is more expensive than standard copy paper, is a lighter weight which might be more prone to jam in a printer and is a non-standard size. I purchased an inexpensive hole punch for binder needs and feel it is a better option.

its a little over 1 and 1/2 inches thick. The 3 ring binder inside is a normal 1 inch. I have about 60 papers inside rite now no problem

It is the hole spacing that is standard--that's why it is called "standard." 12 x 12" pages with punched holes will fit the rings of any standard binder, but the page will extend beyond the edges of a binder of smaller dimensions.
