What is a Good, Affordable Paper Drill Punch Machine?

The FP-1XLS is an awesome little paper drill that fits perfectly into tighter budgets. It retails at just about $330, so it is a great price when you compare it to the more common $1,200+ machines out there. It is a great, affordable paper drill that fits well into any office, medical building, smaller print shop, or any other organization that needs to quickly punch through thick stacks of sheets.

So now that you know the price, let's talk about what else makes this paper hole puncher awesome...

• Multi-Holes - Although the FP-1XLS is a single-hole paper drill, the mobile table and self-centering guides with paper stops let you easily punch two, three, and four holes as well! Paper stops are each to adjust with just a flathead screwdriver, and the measurement guide helps ensure perfect placement.

• Siding Table - The table slides smoothly from side to side, which makes it so easy and seamless to go from punching hole 1, hole 2, hole 3, and hole 4. The paper stops and self-centering guides ensure perfect placement, even as you punch many stacks in a row.

• High Capacity - For the price point, the 1" capacity is quite impressive! Imagine how quickly you can power through stacks and stacks of paper that needs to be punched when you can punch them 1" at a time! That is equal to about 300 sheets of basic copy paper. So if you are punching binder inserts with 3-holes, you can do so incredibly quickly with the FP-1XLS. No more hand punching with a 3-hole punch and wearing our your wrist, arm, and hands!

• Versatile - Four different drill bit sizes are available (1/4", 3/16", 3/8", or 5/16") and changing between sizes is easy with the included allen wrench.

• Small Size - The small size fits easily onto any desk or table, so even those with limited space (like a home office) can use the paper drill without impeding on storage space too much. It measures just 17 ¾" W x 12 ½" D x 8 ¼" H.

• Easy to Use - The FP-1XLS is also a very easy paper drill to use. All you have to do is set up your hole depth and paper stops for hole placement, place your stack down, lower the pressure foot, and pull the handle down to drill. If punching multiple holes, you would then slide the table to the next stop, and pull the handle again.

• No Electricity - This powerful little paper drilling machine is completely manual, requiring no electricity or energy source...well, except for you, as the user. But luckily, the pressure needed to punch through stacks of pages with the FP-1XLS is minimal, reducing strain and wear on your user.
