Does it punch through thick paper? How thick?

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

It depends on the height of your paper. It punches 3 holes (well, squares actually) per inch, so that's 33 holes on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, etc.

Not very thick. I don't have any devices to measure it, but it's about as thick as 5 or 6 sheets of paper or two business cards. I know that's not very precise, depending on the quality or the paper or the card.

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

It would be kind of thick, but it does fold. I use this paper primarily for CD inserts, and the thickest I've gone is three sheets, or 12 sides folded in half. (I also use a straight-edge to flatten the fold.)

I've had no problems with it, the paper is thick and the ink doesn't bleed through.

Absolutely! We did over 500 35 page books on 20lb copy paper on one of our machines this may and it keeps coming back for more. It works the fastest to punch about 15 pages a time. High Qaulity machine that produced a great product.

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.

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

I just tested it and yes you can punch through it! Although I think more intricate punch designs may encounter some problems. I used the discontinued pinking circle and it punched through just fine.

For paper card stock, these punches will work OK., but I don't know if one would last longer than the other. I would uggest placing an old magazine between the hard surface and the card stock before punching.

It will, but after a few tries. When using it, you need to try and stabilize the punch. I am not very happy with it and barely use it.

It should be. I can punch ten pages of 24lb paper without the punch getting stuck. If you're looking to punch a single piece of cardboard it shouldn't be a problem.

It punches through one laminated sheet easily. However....depending on the quality of your laminate it sometimes causes the laminate and the paper to pull away from each other around the holes.

No it does not. It works for Personal and Pocket sizes. You could theoretically use the personal sized setting to punch one part of the 3 holes and shift your paper over and punch the 2nd part but you would already need an A5 sized page as a guide. I later decided to get an A5 agenda and have also purchased an adustable hole puncher on Amazon called PU-462. It works great as well!

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!

Absolutely. It easily punches through metal sheets & copper washers, plastic containers and sheeting. The tool itself is pretty heavy. I've gone through corrugated card board. For paper, you may have to punch several sheets at a time because the tool is so heavy. I have arthritis in my hands and can punch metal without having to apply much pressure.
