Is this 2.5' scalloped punch able to work as a border for a 2' circle punch to nest in the center? Anyone use it for this?

Yes. That is exactly what I use it for and it comes out beautifully. I have a 3.5", 2.5" and 1.5" scallop along with a 3", 2" and 1" circle. They look really great building the three sets and putting them on top of each other with pops.

RSK said on November 16, 2014 | EditNo I don't believe that the handle could take the pressure needed to punch through that hard and thick of a metal. I have used this device on what it was intended to be used on (sheet metals) and it works very nicely. For one, the punch itself is flat and has a centering point. Something as thick as a quarter would no doubt work better with a punch that was slanted so that the entire circumference of the hole wouldn't be met all at once.The handle and device in general are well constructed. It is simply not intended for that type of metal.

This punch is very easy to use when you know how. ; } Place the punch on a flat table surface. Face the punch with the arm side towards you. Below the arm is a light gray plastic piece with arrows on it. Push down on the arm of the punch and push the light gray piece to the left. This opens the arm for use. To set the punch for using other options than the 3 hole punch: Under the punch are black screws. Loosen these and move them to the proper location for your punching needs. Tighten them back up when in the proper location. Punch away!! If you have any other questions, I would be pleased to answer them. This is a fine product. Patricia

No, I don't think stamp will work on this... is kind of "krispy"... Not a regular face... I've punched it and worked ok for my purpose but if you plan to punch a lot of it be aware that it can ruin your punch! After punching A LOT (like 200-300) I have to replace my punches... Hope it helps!!!

the punch area is 2" wide by 3/8" deep. you can make it wider by punching the center of the edge of your card and realigning and punching again on each side of the center cut...as many times as you like

Yes, you can see the image and where you position the circle, by turning it over. Then you can place it just where you need it. I love mine. It is a great punch.

The back allows you to move the holes just a tiny bit, but there is no guide or markings to set to punch for different sizes of paper. I measured the punch from end to end and it is 6 inches. So if your paper is 5.5.inches, it will fit. It seems to measure up to the measurements you listed in your question. I used a tape measure to determine.

You can if you turn the cutter over. I flip it over (looking at the hole side) and align my punch area.

I wanted to use it for an exterior main door lever handle so the kids couldnt easily run out the front door. But it didn't work. Our base plate was too large for the circle part of this to fit correctly. Sorry I cant really help more.

I have only used it as an overlay; which worked perfectly. I have also used it to make two sides, like a sandwich, with my design between the two pieces and it worked perfectly! Sorry but I have not tried scoring it.

"Medium" isn't really very helpful is it? I measured it at 1". This one looks like a better punch to me, and it's marked with the exact size: http://www.amazon.com/EK-Tools-Circle-Punch-0-75-Inch/dp/B0090JVBP0/ref=dp_ob_title_def

For regular 200lb cardboard box, you will have to put some effort in cutting straight lines. Altho it can cut cardboard fine, box cutters are still more efficient and alot better for thick, fluted cardboard boxes. I wouldn't recommend this for making patterns in 3/8" fluted cardboards.

The punch itself raises completely out of the -- not sure what to call it -- punch area and guide. The guide to this area, which also seats the die, is thick cast metal that can't be moved or bent -- imagine a very, very thick and oddly shaped tuning fork. The gap in this area to the die is just shy of 1/4" -- sorry I can't be more exact than that, but my calipers aren't with me at the moment. Anyway, you won't get more than a 1/4" stacked up into this, and moreover the punches aren't much longer than a 1/4" either.

In my experience, these punches will not work with aluminum 1/16 inch thick. They are so poorly made they break. On the plastic pack containing them, it plainly states that they are leather punches.

As I recall, the punch heads are not adjustable, so I would say no. Don't wate your money on this item -- mine broke the first time I used it. Invest in a high quality punch with adjustable punch heads. It will cost a little more, but will be worth it in the long run.

No, it's small. I wanted a large punch and was surprised by the size. I didn't return it, but I haven't used it yet either.
