Would this punch through 2 pieces of cardstock in a thin plastic sleeve? Or is there a different crop-a-dile that would work better for that task?

I'm pretty sure it will. I used this to punch holes in metal lids of mason jars and I had no problem at all

Hey There, Just experimented. I was not able to punch more than 3 at a time. That was a squeeze, and I imagine it would dull the edges of your punch quicker, which would be noticeable on your paper edges over time. I'd say 2 comfortably, 3 with a tad more effort. Hope this helps. Oh, I also took a greeting card and folded it in half and was able to punch two from it. Aluminum foil for sharpening if you didn't already know. Layer some pieces, and punch to sharpen.

Yes, I have used it to cut "cards" that I have laminated. Apparently it will cut anything scissors will cut...and much easier and better.

I don't se why not as you can punch a stack of around 20 sheets of regular paper at once. I would suppose it would depend on how heavy and how laminated as I don't know what keeps the dyes for punching the holes sharp. I can say I would have given this machine more stars if I could as it is so easy to use! Punching the holes is just merely pressing an on off button, similar to turning on and off any other appliance.

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.

It most definitely won't cut a 2mm. soft wood. It's a good & precise tool, but only for light duty use. - It will handle business card thickness cardstock, but nothing more. - I have since obtained a Zutter Round-it-All Heavy Duty Corner Rounder to cut the 1/32" card I use. The cut isn't as clean as I would like, but it beats doing it by hand with scissors. Martha Stewart makes an inexpensive heavy-duty corner rounder that I would like to try, but they don't say what the radius of the cut is. (I require a 1/8" radius, equivalent to a 1/4" diameter.) If you search corner rounder on eBay, you will see many varieties from light duty to heavy duty table mounted ones. It most definitely won't cut a 2mm. soft wood.

I actually use three blades. My deep cut is for fabric cutting so I don't use it for paper. You probably could but I would not go any deeper than 1 for regular cardstock.

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!

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.

The opening for the punch is only large enough to fit three pieces of medium cardstock (90#). I imagine that 'medium' chipboard is thicker than that, so I don't think so either.

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.

This is a pretty fine mesh. I could not penetrate the mesh with the end of a large paper clip. An office staple might go through but only if it it were pushed from an angle perpendicular to the mesh. Not likely to go through if you were sifting a bunch of them in the strainer. Hope this is helpful.

No, I'm afraid it's not powerful enough for that. Regular paper, maybe light cardstock is all it can do.

Yes - it can cut through poster board - one sheet at a time. I used it on very heavy recycled paper to make round wedding fans. It did very well on that!

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.

Probably, with effort. I was trying to punch through card stock and it wasn't fun. It's a really flimsy hole punch.

I use it for cardstock, and it cuts great. So I am assuming pictures would cut smoothly as well
