Overview

When creating multiple pads of paper at a time, the fastest and easiest solution is to use a padding press machine. This pad press vice allows you to create very large stacks of paper that, after the padding glue is applied and dried, can be cut down to smaller pads of paper using a padding knife. But how do you create consistent paper pad thicknesses? With a pad counter! These handy little padding tools feature an adjustable bar that hold firm in-place once set, so you can set how thick you want your pads to be and use it to properly separate multiple stacks, adding chip board sheets between stacks. Built for stability, padding counters have a solid wood handle for comfort with a chrome plated steel spade for durability. If you need an easy and efficient way to measure where pads of paper need to be separated, buy a pad counter online. We offer them in three sizes, including 3", 4", and 5" pad counter options.
How to Use a Pad Counter:
   ① Clamp the counter around a stack of paper that is your desired thickness
   ② Squeeze it closed, and rotate the handle to tighten it into place
   ③ Use the counter to separate a thick stack of paper into multiple thinner stacks
   ④ Place each stack aside, separating them with chip board pad backing
   ⑤ Jog the new stack and place it into your padding press to use as-normal

   ③ To tighten it into place, simply rotate the handle
   ④ Place the spade onto the top if a stack of paper, placing the bar in-between sheets, and repeat this process for your entire stack to create perfectly consistent thicknesses

Frequent Asked Questions

Q
Do I use the counter before binding?
Asked by Customer
A

Pad counters are used before binding to turn one thick stack of paper (such as a ream) into multiple stacks of a consistent thickness. Once you measure how thick you want each notepad to be, you simply tighten the pad counter, and use it to divide up the rest of the ream, adding a piece of chipboard or other backing to the bottom of each stack.
