How many pieces of 110lb card stock paper could it cut at at time? (If you had to guess).

Hey There, Just experimented. I was not able to punch more than 3 at a time. That was a squeeze, and I imagine it would dull the edges of your punch quicker, which would be noticeable on your paper edges over time. I'd say 2 comfortably, 3 with a tad more effort. Hope this helps. Oh, I also took a greeting card and folded it in half and was able to punch two from it. Aluminum foil for sharpening if you didn't already know. Layer some pieces, and punch to sharpen.

I would not recommend it but it might work. The blade is sharp enough but you risk the cards slipping a little and then you edges will look bad. I do this to photographic paper but I can cut three manually about as quick and three stacked. Then I don't have to worry about any waste. Cut one card badly and the time it takes and the cost of loosing one card and your better off cutting one at a time. This is a great little cutter and I find a use for it almost every day. I don't know what I would do without it. It's one of the best buys on Amazon. Good luck, I hope this has been helpful. Robert Wallace

You can fit up to 8 (normal weight) pages into the shredder at one time. I shredded a bunch of paper, and am guessing it held at least 200 pages (shredded).

it would depend on the thickness of the paper. I'd say 2 maybe 3 pages if it's printer weight, or just one for heavy card stock :) But, I prefer to use my paper cutter that is not part of this light box... I only got this for it's light box feature.

Absolutely! I just cut acetate sheets yesterday and those tend to be be thicker and stiffer. The directions say that you can cut upwards of 30 pieces of paper at one, although I would never do that because totally clean cuts. It's a sharp cutter.

Hello Greg,Yes, though we haven't cut a single sheet, we have cut as few as 5 sheets of paper. On average, we cut between ¼ and ½ ream of paper at a time. We purchased this paper cutter just uder 4 ½ years ago, and we're still using the original blade. It has yet to be resharpened. Just be careful of the blade edge (it is surgical sharp) and follow the assembly and operation instructions to the letter.Wishing you all the best.The Lives You Touch Publications

I agree with the other posters. Six to 8 pages of 20lb paper or 5-6 pages of 24lb. If you try to do more there is a tendency for the paper to slide and the holes to punch incorrectly.

Yes it is very easy to use! The thicker the card stock, the better. It will cut through the thinner cardstock. Practice on paper first!

I haven't looked but can confirm you will run through the paper provided pretty quick. That being said the paper can be easily cut out from card stock :)

I use mine to cut card stock (for quilting templates). The thickest I have tried is about 65 lbs (thickness). I haven't tried it with cardboard (as in a traditional cardboard box material).

I cut regular card stock that is 110# for card making. I went down in my craft room and tried cutting regular matboard with it. I don't don't if 4-ply is different than the matboard that they use to mat pictures professionally, which is the kind I have. It would be pushing it to say it will cut that thickness on a regular basis. I got it to cut once or twice, but it did not give a truly clean cut. I don't know if it would hold up to that kind of wear and tear. Hope that helps answer your question.

Though I don't personally make cards to know for certain, I do believe this one could handle it because I can cut approximately 5-8 sheets of paper at a time depending on the thickness. I've cut more in a hurry but the cut isn't as straight or clean going with too many.

I don't really know, I haven't done multiple pieces. I can tell you it is very sturdy. I have used it to punch holes in gift bags made of very heavy paper that I had folded over so it was a thickness of four, and it punched right through with no problem--and didn't hurt my hand while doing it either. I have been very happy with it.

I don't know of a maximum thickness, but I have printed on photo paper and business card sheets - both of which use heavier stock.

8 is supposed to be the limit, but I regularly staple 9 and carefully and slowly move the stapler off of the paper. Sometimes the top cutout piece has breakage but it doesn't affect the bond.

It depends on the height of your paper. It punches 3 holes (well, squares actually) per inch, so that's 33 holes on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, etc.

50 lb paper is not cardstock, but that opens up a huge can o worms about basis weights, US vs Euro measurements and so on. If you use 110 lb COVER stock it will work but of course you must feed it one sheet at a time. This is one of the few printers which (more or less) sets to print on heavier stock better: it simply slows the paper down so the heat can heat up the heavier paper a little more. So when you go to the print dialog and set the paper "type" I think you will notice there are really 7 levels -- there has to be an odd number so that "normal" is in the "middle" and when it says Card Glossy 176-220 gm that is the slowest print speed therefore it heats the paper the most. All I can say about this printer is it's simply LESS ANNOYING than most others.
