Got this to use with Talia binders & discs. Loving it. The difference in the marked sizes doesn't matter. All the references were about medium sizes not jiving (they don't) But the junior is different holes to? apparently?
Only the large 8 1/2 by 11 lines work right for me. (Shrugging) It's pretty simple to find the sweet spot for your own page sizes & mark it with tape or something if you need to. But your eyes/hands learn with practice.
I've been cleaning out drawers of all the acculation of notepads from charities, promotions, etc.... Once hole punched these can be popped into whichever size disc binder.
A few "it broke the 1st day used" issues may possibly be caused if people do not realize to tip the hole punch every few batches/cuts. This moves the hole cut outs so that they aren't accumulating directly under the punches jamming up the works... ALL enclosed hole punches require this. & You need to Empty it periodically (the bottom pops off & on easily - remove it over a trash can!)
Also, respect the recommended batch size... If it is engineered for 3 layers of regular paper, only do 1 or 2 layers of cardstock (& how thick a cardstock is it compared to 3 sheets of paper?) What pound is your paper. Is it heaver than specified for the 3 sheets recommended? 3 sheets of the rather heavy copy paper our Staples uses as default is a fair effort for this model/price point. This tool does its work VERY well within its bound. I've pushed it a bit beyond, but felt the groan & will avoid in future (& I don't recommend pushing that far)... There is a definite limitation.
If you need it to do more volume/paperweight, or sturdy cover materials, you'll need to spend more $$$😉.
Once you get a system down, 3 at a time can go pretty quick. Frankly after my initial gathering in of notepads & orphaned papers I don't foresee a need to do vast amounts at once. I'll be able to punch out the things as needed pretty efficiently. Those pages that are identical repeats that don't need change, or kept longerterm for reference, I have mounted in high gloss page protectors & use dry erase markers.
I put the page in the 3 ring page protectors I had already. You can put the page in "backward" & punch the smooth side (stronger). This lets the 3 hole edge stick out like a tab. I trimmed a couple leaving only enough margin to be an actual tab.... But I have a whole section of daily procedure/guidelines that is untrimmed to make it easy to flip back & forth to the current day's agenda/actual events/etc, mounted to left of these each day. After a few days I no longer noticed the holes as an asthetic issue.
Anyhow. I like it & expect years of good service... & Will update if that changes. BUT will probably eventually acquire a compatible punch that is designed to handle thicker/denser cover materials, rather than purchasing more "floppy" covers or plastic dividers/pockets. I need my "backfiled data" notebooks, journals, etc to stand upright on the shelf... & The Budget Rules.👍
It’s huge!
I didn’t realize it was going to be so large! It has 11 holes and is perfect for the Big planner. If you have a classic planner, I recommend you get the blue classic size puncher with 9 holes. I bought this so that I could custom design my own pages using 8.5x11 paper. I think this will be perfect but it only cuts 3 pages at once so it may take a while for me to get everything done.

Elle peut perforer tous les formats jusqu'à A4 inclus, je vous conseille juste de la marquer aux différents formats pour ne pas avoir de décalage dans les perforations des pages.
Commande passée le 16 juillet, reçue le 14 août, il ne faut pas être pressée mais ça vaut le coup d'attendre.
