5/16” paper hole punch

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

5/16” paper hole punch

Anyone know where I can find one?

I’ve trawled the Internet and cant find a decent one.

I’m using it for my stickers. I’ve tried metal punches with a hammer and they don’t do so well against the gloss paper.

Thanks!

What you want is a paper drill. These are hollow for obvious reasons. I use one by hand to cut rubber so I’m sure it will cut paper by hand.

highly suggest these for 7" size labels, they're die cut already:

This is the one I have, and it seems to work pretty well: https://www.amazon.ca/McGill-Punchline-Chrome-Purple-MCG53700C/dp/B001E69SJS

I have just purchased the McGill one!

Unfortunately no stockists in the UK so it’s shipping from America.

awesome! glad to pass it along, it took me a year or two to settle on those but they're absolutely worth the price and bypassing the headache of making one's own center hole.
