Can you punch through fabric with this puncher?

No. It was meant for paper only. Gosh, I wish it did:. That would open up a lot of creativity.

It will set the grommets or eyelets however the hole punch is not sharp enough to make a clean hole in fabric. You may want to create the whole with fabric/tailors awl.

I have not cut anything but paper and cardboard. However, I found that the cutting edges on the punches are not accurately sharpened and that may cause some difficulty with the materials you mention. As needed, I sharpen mine by chucking in a drill press and honing the edges with a stone. I'm pretty sure they would cut wool and felt after sharpening provided a good backing surface is provided. I use a piece of oak planking.

I have used it to punch holes in a nylon horse halter so far, and it cut straight through instead of just splitting the fibers like most punches I've used; however, that nylon was quite stiff, which allowed the fibers to stay together better and make a clean hole after being singed. If the nylon of the cow collar is more pliable, than it may not make such a clean cut. I am unsure of that though. In which case, I hope somebody else here can assist with your question soon.

Yes, it will cut through, as long as you take into account: 1) You have to have the hand strength to compress the punch to cut through a thicker material. If you can't squeeze the punch hard enough, the blades can't do the work. 2) The blades will be initially sharp enough, but will dull a tiny bit with each use. To sharpen the blades, cut through a very fine sandpaper a few times. You will feel the difference. 3) If the contact paper has a sticky adhesive, it will get on the blades and you will need to stop and clean them. You could try one of the label removing solvents, like Glue Gone, on a cotton ball or rag.

Should do that no problem it is very good quality punch. I used it to do eyelets in thick boots and worked great.

Yes you will need a hammer to pound the punch through the leather. These punches are great and work very well with leather and even word.

It will, but after a few tries. When using it, you need to try and stabilize the punch. I am not very happy with it and barely use it.

I have found that if the lamination is thin, it punches easily. It punches through 4-6 sheets of paper or a single sheet laminated on both sides.

I believe that this is designed only for leather. I do not believe that it can punch through sheet metal (and remain functional).

Yes, the material is soft enough to punch holes in the fabric. I actually uses pin to hold it tight first. I have not tried ironing though.

The very smallest punch will punch a hole in a thin ( .012" ) piece of cotton blend cloth. The largest punch will penetratethe cloth but will not leave a round hole.

no, I haven't figured out any way to lessen the intensity of the punch. But, I rarely have it tear through two sheets.

I have never tried, but seriously doubt it. I think any felt would get stuck in the punch.

Yes, this style of punch is designed to be hit with a hammer to drive it through the materiel you are punching.

There are some very nice electric scissors on the market made expressly for cutting fabric. This tool is meant for cutting such materials as cardboard and a bit heavy handed for use with fabric.

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!
