Can the machine punch holes in leather book covers

I've found its' limit to be about 10 pages of regular weight paper.I will do a couple of pieces of heavy oaktag paper (I often punch the slash folders for the back cover of book).What is the thickness of the item you want to cut and how heavy is it as compared to cardboard?

I wouldnt suggest it. It will totally depend upon the thickness of the leather. If the leather is supple, it will be very difficult to get it "seated" in the bottom of the paper trough.

I don't know as I've never tried it. I would think you could punch at least one at a time. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

We punched through some extra leather fabric we had on hand for a conference room chair - so most likely, yes if its not really thick. The machine punches thick cardboard covers so I think it will work.

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

This is a great small Arbor Press. There is a 1/4" hole bored into the press that can hold tools (like a punch/die). But you'd need the die, a base plate, and I'd want the leather to be no more than say 1/16" thick. for punching holes.

It's not long enough to punch three (standard-distanced) holes on one page. If you DO decide to purchase the unit, you will be pleasantly surprised with the heavy-duty quality.

To answer your question, YES. It will sew through leather without a problem. I have 2 of these electric motors, one on my single needle Consew and the other on my double needle Singer. It makes sewing on an industrial machine just as easy as sewing on a home light duty machine. Use the pulley provided and the machine will sew one stitch at a time or at full speed if you can work that fast.

No, not really...but you can certainly punch the paper twice to make enough holes for longer sheets than letter size. This machine is easy to use and a great bargain for the price

The Knipex hole punch takes a certain amount of hand strength to get through regular thickness leather. The compound leverage punch requires less physical hand strength to make a nice hole.

It's used for leather it shaves off leather making the leather thinner it has a razor sharp blade I'm not sure how it would work on paper. You place the tool on the leather and pull it towards you and it shaves off leather.If you're just trying to put a square or rectangle hole in paper look up punches maybe.

Hello, of course yes, if it is able to pass the metal can easily cut the leather.

As far as I know this revolving punch will just punch thru leather, because when I was a kid I was in a leather craft club and I used a revolving punch to punch thru leather and other leather craft stuff.

I've used it to punch clear plastic covers without any issues. Not sure of the material, but they look like overhead projector sheets (remember those?).

Probably if the holes are small and you don't push to hard or get in a hurry. I use it to drill holes in leather for sewing.

Probably not for leather. Leather requires a point of some type to pierce it and you can get a leather puncher much cheaper. This tool is strictly for metal.

I am using it to punch velcro and it works great! I would say yes to all you questions, but on extra thick material you would want to use caution to be sure you are not taxing the tool That said it is the most heavy duty of three leather hole punchers I have used. Hope that helps.

You can change their heights to some other holes punched by the company. If you have a leather punch yourself you can move them where ever you would like.

Hole punch through - no. But they have a wood backing that would be drilled through quite easily with a regular drill bit.

yes. as for tools a blow dryer or heat gun, credit card or something similar, small flat head screwdriver or wedge to remove back cover.
