Rapesco ALU 65 Metal 2-Hole Punch - Black

It can punch up to 65 sheets of standard 80gsm paper.

It creates 5.5mm diameter holes.

No, the Rapesco ALU 65 features fixed standard hole spacing suitable for most ring binders.

The punch features a robust aluminium alloy cast body.

You can use the handle lock-down switch to secure the handle, allowing for more compact storage.

While it can punch some cardstock, the capacity will be significantly reduced. It is primarily designed for standard paper weights.

It's recommended to empty the confetti tray after each use and wipe down the exterior as needed. For heavy use, occasional lubrication of the mechanism might be beneficial.

Ensure you are not exceeding the 65-sheet capacity for 80gsm paper. Check that the paper is properly aligned against the paper guide. The handle mechanism may benefit from light lubrication if used heavily.

Verify that the adjustable metal paper guide is set correctly and firmly secured before punching. Ensure the paper is pushed fully against the guide.

Ensure the tray is completely empty. If it feels stiff, check for any obstructions or debris around the hinge.

Ensure the handle is fully depressed before attempting to lock it. Check for any minor debris that might be impeding the lock switch.
