paper punch 3/16?

Aug 18, 2006 3 Replies

I am looking for a handheld single hole punch 3/16 inch in diameter. However it seems not all 3/16 inch punches actually punch a 3/16 inch. I have a Darice brand (packaged as 3/16") that punches a hole almost 1/4". So,,, who can tell me a good brand that actually punches a 3/16" hole. Believe it or not, I need the precision!

Have you tried Fiskars? They're usually a good brand. I don't have a handheld 3/16" hole punch, so I can't give you any specific brand. Hopefully someone here can lead you in a better direction!

I don't know if you would get that level of precision with any craft made thumb punches.....just by the way they actually cut! Perhaps the one shown on this link would be more accurate for your needs

....scroll down to item #6. Even the eyelet punches we use will depend somewhat on how hard you hit them with a hammer as the shape of the head is graduated. How about a single hole stationery punch from somewhere like Staples? Or you could look for something here

Try the leather making aisle at your craft store. They have precise tools.

Also Fiskars is wonderful for their punches

and might have what you are looking for.
