can you punch medium weight chipboard with this?

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.

Yes. I have punched a medium weight chipboard for the backing to a notebook I made.

Buy a paper punch,it would be cheaper than this tool. It's made for punching metal. I've used these type punches for the past 25 years as a sheet metal worker and they are great for metals but paper would tear...unless you punched a bunch of sheets at a time I'm guessing.

Yes, although it requires a little effort. You need a screwdriver to move the punchers, so it isn't something that is convenient if you need to go back and forth frequently.

I'm not sure. It is pretty strong. I was able to punch through several pieces of poster board at once if that helps

I've tried cutting through foam sheets and haven't had much luck at all. You can punch through 2 pieces of cardstock (the lightest kind) or 2 to 3 pieces of construction paper.

Yes it can. I use mine in my Sizzix Big Kick too. Here is a link of info for you! http://www.scrappingcottage.com/faqs.aspx

I haven't tried it on a card of known weight, but it has no problem at all punching an equivalent weight in stacked sheets of paper, and also the "hard paper" backs that are available already. I'd bet it has no trouble what-so-ever with it.

Yes.......however, the back is nothing more than heavy "cardboard"....it is perforated....so you can punch out whatever size opening you want.

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

Good Question... I took a piece of card stock9 65lb) and doubled it. Went through like butter. Then I doubled that, which would be four pieces and it would not punch. Hope that helps you out. Its a great punch.. Bonnie

I've never used it for chipboard, but I have cut 3 sheets of 65lb cardstock at one time. Together their thickness is 0.027 and I believe medium weight chipboard is 0.030? I'm not sure this is the best cutter for chipboard.

Yes you can. If the paper is too thin it might get distorted around the area where you punch the hole.

the people posting the bad reviews DO NOT know how to use thin punches. Pins are tapered they go in from the left and come out from the right unless the manufacturer specifically specifies otherwise. If the piece you are working on is not properly supported, with room for the pin to move as it is being removed, you WILL damage the weakest link, the same goes if the punch is not in proper alignment wit the pin. In complete and brutal honesty, those posting the bad reviews seem to be the tools, not the punches.

I think it would punch through just fine. Mine works great on heavy cardstock, so I think it would be fine with the vinyl. The design of these punches makes them very easy to use, so your hand doesn't get as tired punching multiple times.

Most definitely ! I've used many at 30 yards and punch through a 1/2" ply wood.

Yes, you can. A sharp knife is all you need to cut it, and a small awl should work to punch through it

No. They are too thick and inflexible to use a hole-punch with. You'd have to drill the hole.
