One. I actually still have mine in good shape. I'm not sure if I listed it but I can if you want.

Just go ahead either with 8 or 16 the heavier will just help build endurance and speed in your punches... I say 16 ;)

I don't know if you can add any larger size punches. I use a block of wood under the gasket material. Do not use metal, you will ruin the punch.

I have found that if the lamination is thin, it punches easily. It punches through 4-6 sheets of paper or a single sheet laminated on both sides.

The most I have punched at one time is twenty sheets of paper with no problems. I have not tried more than that.

Yes it does. The punch itself is metal, however the bottom is made out of rubber and is very easy to remove to empty it.

It's not long enough to punch three (standard-distanced) holes on one page. If you DO decide to purchase the unit, you will be pleasantly surprised with the heavy-duty quality.

No. It's a light duty press, 500 pounds. To estimate the punching force required, multiply the hole perimeter x material thickness x shearing strength. 3.5" x pi = 10.99 inches. A reasonable guess at the side plate thickness is 0.050", and aluminum shearing strength is around 30,000 PSI. Hence the punch force required is: 10.99 x 0.05 x 30,000 = 16,500 pounds. To punch a 3.5" diameter hole I would look at a conduit punch or a hole saw, although the punch will leave a much cleaner hole than will a hole saw.

I suppose You ask how is the shape of the punch.It's a rectangle of about half inch, the long side, and a 1/8 of inch, on the short side. A slot. Rounded on the short sides.

It's a 2:1 ratio punch, 1/4 inch between holes and ~1/2 inch from center to center of the holes punched.

It's definitely nice to have around, can come in handy when installing some of the pins. For roll pins, I put a link to the other set that I've used. The other set I use is a flat tipped steel set from Harbor Freight, I think it cost around $8. I personally don't use the steel punches unless I have to like when removing a front sight gas block or some other tight pins. Enjoy the project! http://www.amazon.com/GRIP-Forged-Steel-Roll-Punch/dp/B003L7HOMG/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1397565121&sr=1-1&keywords=roll+pin+punch+set

pull up listing & i believe they are listed. these punches are poorly machined & the large one had what appeared to be a chip of the cutting tool imbedded in it. purchased grace punches at same time to compare. for a few dollars more the fit & finish alone is worth it. i do not recommend this set.

I haven't had to use it yet, but I have no doubts that it would break skin if you punched someone with it.

It's good to go. It's filled with whatever in it. It's pretty heavy, too. Just hang it up and start punching.

I can't tell you because I no longer have the punch; it really didn't work well. Couldn't even punch through 1 piece of paper. Save your money.

I think it's around 5 pounds. It has a dozen items on it at the moment, so I apologize for my laziness in not wanting to remove them. Somewhere in that 5-10 pound range, I'm fairly certain.
