Question

We are a small architecture firm.  We have always used staples for putting sets of drawings together, but some of our sets of drawings are becoming thicker than our staple will handle, about 100 pages.  We are looking for a way to punch holes in the paper for using screw posts to bind them.  Would your FP-1(B) Single Hole Punch work for paper that is 24″ wide.

Answer

The FP-1(B) Single Hole Punch, manufactured by the General Graphic company, should work just fine with your drawings. This FP-1(B) Single Hole Punchmachine will actually punch through 300 sheets of paper at a time. That amount of paper is typically accomplished with a paper drill. However, the FP-1(B) is specially designed to provide a high amount of pressure to a small punching area with relatively little effort.

The model does not come with a punch bit. You must order one separately. Punch bits come in diameters of 3/16″, 5/16″, 1/8″ and 1/4″. This particular paper punch is perfect for use with heat-sensitive materials that standard paper drills cannot successfully drill through. Some of these materials include laminated paper and plastic report covers.
