Could you punch a decent hole through a stack of about 100 ziploc bags with this device?

yea i think so. i was able to punch through over 100 sheets of thick paper. so i assume as long as the ziplocs dont slip and slide the punch itself will be able to get through it. before you use it on anything you care about test it on some crap material because there's some oil residue that needs to come off after the first couple of punches. then it's good to go. the way the device works is you put the items you want to punch under it and then you tighten and as you do that (by screwing the metal) it slowly "punches" through. it's more like a drill press than it is a punch. you don't slam down on the punch to get through the paper which is why it seems to be able to punch through so much. it's a slower process for sure but it's excellent.

I am not 100 % sure that you could. I am not familiar with any type of hole drilling done with this. I would guess a hammer drill would be more along the lines of something you would use.

I doubt it. Though for the price, it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you'll have a great portable compressor for small nailing jobs, inflating tires, etc. BTW, how do you de-gas something with a compressor?

Never tried but if your spade bit is sharp and take your time with plunging I'm sure it will.I recently had to drill 3/8" plugs in oak with a very dull plug cutter, took my time plunging, got the job done.

We just use ours for aluminum. O625" thick max. It does OK. on that, but no thicker. The smaller the hole the easier it works. If you are doing mass quantities, I would look to another method.

I wouldn't recommend this machine for that because your challenge is going to be ensuring the holes start equidistant from the ends of the paper, and it may not work out.

You could make it work, but it would be awkward. It's a gravity fed device (intake is near the bottom of the DE chamber), but once you get it going (by priming it horizontally) you could probably get a shot or two vertically. If you have a lot of holes, I would consider something else.

yes. we used it for our wedding programs and it punched together 4 pieces of 100 lb card stock.

In truth I would say 'yes' but there is a but. Consider putting small pre-holes before compressing the final squeeze with these clips as they may rip a hole bigger than you would like. So, try a little section first as a test in a non visible part first with the method I suggest. Okies.

I used it to drill thin aluminum and it did a really good job. I would think cigar boxes should be fine.

I am looking for a heavy duty hole punch. I have gone threw several hole punches and need one that makes smooth leather hole punches on literally a thousand usages. Will this do the job. ?

I think that would work fine, just make sure you remove the plastic film form the back before punching the holes. :)

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

You would need to predrill holes, but I don't see why it wouldn't work if you did that.

I have not tested it but, there is a video on youtube that shows how to use the Foodsaver Handheld with ziploc bags.

Maybe, but you might want to pre "drill" holes using a nail or something similar

Probably, but it would not be easy as the gromets would not match up. Also, zip tyes don't come with fence.
