1325PB, 1325B, 1340PB Hole PunchesQuestion

The Martin Yale punch models 1325PB, 1325B & 1340PB state they have an adjustable margin depth but it doesn’t state what that depth is.  I checked the Martin site and it didn’t state either.  Need clarification on the margin depth spec.  I need a depth from the edge of the paper up to 1″.  I also will need an extra punch head as my application requires 4 holes.  If there is an option for 1/4″ punch size that would be preferred but can get by with 9/32″.

Answer

The margin depth adjustment for these three models goes up to a half inch. The manufacturer, Martin Yale, has found that most businesses do not need a hole punched in a stack of paper that reaches beyond a half-inch. Holes punched further into the paper typically make it more difficult to turn the pages of a bound document. The largest diameter punch head in this series of paper punches is 13/32″. You can also install up to seven punch heads on the unit.

Paper hole punches are a useful tool for punching multiple stacks of paper, and assisting in the document binding process. Paper hole punches are available in a wide variety of models and formats. These commonly include single-hole punches that punch through hundreds of sheets at a time, custom punches, two-hole punches and three-hole punches.

Some paper hole punch models, such as the 1325B and 1340PB, come with different diameter punch heads, depending on your preference. The most common hole size is a quarter inch in diameter. Typically, the larger the hole the easier it is to turn a page in a stack of paper.
