Are there any larger sizes punches that can be added to the set? On thin fiber paper, do I use a rubber or steel block under it?

Not sure on larger size punch additions. For backing when punching, do not use steel, it will dull your punch. Use wood or plastic cutting board.

You can find larger hole sizes, but I have not seen in this type of set. They usually are 1 piece ( cutting blade and 'blow' handle ). As for cutting your material never use metal underneath as it will dull your cutting blade rather quickly. Use material that is hard but yet soft. I often use a piece of flat PVC, or nylon. Also you want to move this bottom piece to a 'clean' area after each hole cut for best performance.

I don't know if you can add any larger size punches. I use a block of wood under the gasket material. Do not use metal, you will ruin the punch.

I tried that, but found I could cut up to 3-4 sheets of paper with the cutter it came with, making their system faster. I also found that centering the design using a punch yielded uneven results, but that could be the punch I was using. If I am not mistaken, because it's been a while, the punches don't offer any bleed, making the paper a little too short when cut to size. Meaning, the button maker needs a little paper to wrap around so it is caught when the machine fuses the two pieces together. But again, it was a while ago and I don't have the machine handy to check.

pull up listing & i believe they are listed.these punches are poorly machined & the large one had what appeared to be a chip of the cutting tool imbedded in it.purchased grace punches at same time to compare. for a few dollars more the fit & finish alone is worth it.i do not recommend this set.

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.

The 100 lb weight was too thick- I got only a partial punch-through even when I leaned on the punch. The lower weight card stock works very well for me (the weight you get in scrapbook paper kits). Very thin paper (like printer paper) scrunches up, but with care you can punch it and carefully ease it out. Hope this helps.

"Medium" isn't really very helpful is it? I measured it at 1". This one looks like a better punch to me, and it's marked with the exact size: http://www.amazon.com/EK-Tools-Circle-Punch-0-75-Inch/dp/B0090JVBP0/ref=dp_ob_title_def

I have used this punch set to cut 31cal to 50cal flintlock rifle wads and patches in such materials as .015 pillow ticking, cloth, cork, leather, felt, soft craft rubber, card board, fiber board with out any problems. Use old magazine as a cutting board and hard rubber hammer so not to to damage punches. Have cut hundreds of wads and patches and only had to lightly go over the punches with a mill basted file nothing stays sharp for ever. You be the judge.

I have the punch. It's not very big. Maybe 1 1/2 by 2 1/2. Ill test it and let you know.

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

The binder only punches holes for a length of 11-12 inches (letter and A4). So normally you can only bind on the 11 inch side of 11x17 paper. That is the side you normally bind 11x17 anyway. I have only seen coils that are about 12 inches in length. However, you could bind longer edges if you were to punch in several operations. Just be careful to line up the holes so the spacing is uniform. Then you could use a couple of coils to cover the length.

You cannot punch the long edge for 12" paper. If the short edge is less than 11" of course it can be punched / bound.

Yes, there are guidelines based on your user/bag weight ratio. You can search google and get tons of information on this. Type, "What punching bag size should I get"

Good Question... I took a piece of card stock9 65lb) and doubled it. Went through like butter. Then I doubled that, which would be four pieces and it would not punch. Hope that helps you out. Its a great punch.. Bonnie

As with any arbor press, you would need a base plate and the appropriate tools to punch, emboss, cut, etc. This is a small unit with a footprint of about 4" X 9" and is very light weight. If you want a larger unit with some mass to it, a cheaper, basic arbor press would probably serve you well.

The rubber pads you can get at amazon or on eBay. If you mean sanding sheets, go to amazon and buy their packs of ten belt sanding belts. They come in packs of 10, and depending upon grit are usually about $15. I cut them to size with a big pair of scissors, and when cut up I get maybe 5 per belt. That's 50 sanding sheets for 15 dollars, and the paper backed sheets last a lot longer. The punch doesn't work with this product though.

The back allows you to move the holes just a tiny bit, but there is no guide or markings to set to punch for different sizes of paper. I measured the punch from end to end and it is 6 inches. So if your paper is 5.5.inches, it will fit. It seems to measure up to the measurements you listed in your question. I used a tape measure to determine.
