Do I have to keep emptying out the paper from the drill bit to get it to punch cleanly each time?

You don't need to empty with every punch, but is necessary to keep it clean.

No it can not......you could punch the holes then flip the paper over and punch them again, but lining up the holes would be a task.....other than that it is an awesome machine.

Insert the nori all the way to the puncher, then press the black part all the way down. That's all to it. It is exactly same with paper puncher. In fact I use Martha Stewart's paper puncher ( devorative ones) too, to decorate kid's lunch time to time.

A drill press is really the way to go if you can lay the material flat. Otherwise, any corded drill is really better for large hole saws than a cordless

You can if you turn the cutter over. I flip it over (looking at the hole side) and align my punch area.

Mostly it has to be near the edge of the paper. You can get creative and fold paper a certain way to get a punch where you want it. You can wrinkle paper a bit to get the punch a few inches in.

Hi Sheila. I love this machine. I agree with the other responses however I have done a short test run of just cutting a straight line from the edge of the paper to the center of each hole and then inserting the new page this way and it sure does seem to hold well but depending on what you are using it for that may not be a permanent solution. Also, don't buy the crimper...I use a small pair of needle nose pliers that work great.

I have used card stock as pamphlet covers and this machine cleanly punches. Today, I tested four sheets of cardstock. The machine punched through all four sheets cleanly and smoothly, without any extra effort. I have never used cardstock heavier than the usual 65 paperweight. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Yes, I actually use a 50/50 mix of paper that I shredded with my electric shredder and tree trimmings that I ran through my chipper. Just mix it in a large trashcan with lots of water and let it sit for at least a week.

Yes. You have to allow for the size of the bit. And if you don't have a punch bit you can make multiple passes but the punch bit works really well. Also insure that you use the same size drill bit to make a start hole on the inside of your per edge.

The stencil comes out clean. its just a matter of loading the stencil paper right. if it is crooked the machine will catch and sometimes mess the stencil up

Your manual should tell you how to clear the paper jam. You open the printer to where the printheads are. You can move the printheads to one side or the other and be able to pick out the paper. Don't forget to open the rear door also, it will make it easier to remove the paper with less stress on the paper. Hope this helps.

I notice that same thing on the instructions, but what I do is just insert the bit in the top of the drill about halfway and twist the bit itself just a little and it stays in.

I don't fill them all the way to the top and make sure that the punch goes thru the top and bottom both.

I do one sheet at a time so as to not jam up the shredder. that worked for me.

No, it is not a very practical hole punch. I really wanted to like it but I got this one instead...Rapesco 6 Hole Diary 66-P Adjustable Punch, 8 Sheet Capacity, Black (PF66P0B1)

Yes, although it requires a little effort. You need a screwdriver to move the punchers, so it isn't something that is convenient if you need to go back and forth frequently.
