I want to punch soft plastic parts several at a time. How wide is the punch opening with the die and punch in place to accept material?

The punch itself raises completely out of the -- not sure what to call it -- punch area and guide. The guide to this area, which also seats the die, is thick cast metal that can't be moved or bent -- imagine a very, very thick and oddly shaped tuning fork. The gap in this area to the die is just shy of 1/4" -- sorry I can't be more exact than that, but my calipers aren't with me at the moment. Anyway, you won't get more than a 1/4" stacked up into this, and moreover the punches aren't much longer than a 1/4" either.

Just over 1/4 on an inch. At that point the handles are far apart enough that you would need two hands to punch....

its wide, the punch die isnt too long tho, i would say maybe 2-3 at a time if thry arent too thick. I use it on coins a lot

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.

I use standard dies and I don't know the dimensions. However the nut which you see in the top of the photo of the press can be taken out to accommodate dies of a larger diameter. Hope this answers your question. R.E.

No, it's small. I wanted a large punch and was surprised by the size. I didn't return it, but I haven't used it yet either.

This punch is not adjustable. It will punch only the 'standard' 7 hole size and nothing else.

Turn the plastic top until the half circle opening lines up with the half circle solid piece then punch out. I use a butter knife to punch it out.

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!

Yes you can crimp with this seating die. And may I also suggest the micrometer adjusting handle. With that you can go back and forth between bullet styles without the hassle of finding just the right spot, just go back to the settings you want. Don't forget to write things down.

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.

I don"t belive it will because the die is made for use with a hammer and there is no way to lock it into another piece of equipment sorry!!!

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.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. However, this slot punch construction is pretty solid and very sturdy for the price that I paid. I hope that helps.

I do not know but you could try it with some other die. It is scored for folding very faintly foe th 3-D effect. I use cuttlebug and never force and material thru my machine. You could cut ou of cardstock and trace it out on the can metal.

No. The plastic part is not strong enough to sustain the stress caused by the force. This punch die is heavy duty but not for metalwork

In my experience, these punches will not work with aluminum 1/16 inch thick. They are so poorly made they break. On the plastic pack containing them, it plainly states that they are leather punches.

Howdy, I would first contact the company. If that don't work out, try a dull center punch. But don't hit it too hard.Let me how you come out.

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
