Punch, Taurus PN-08 metal hole punch for up to 65 sheets

The Taurus PN-08 metal hole punch is designed to create clean, consistent holes in paper for binder or folder use. Built with a durable metal body and a manual lever mechanism, this punch handles up to 65 sheets of standard office paper in a single operation. A removable base collects paper chads for easy disposal, while the compact footprint makes it suitable for desktop storage in offices and home workspaces.

Advantages

The metal construction provides stability and long-term durability during frequent use. Manual lever operation delivers reliable force control without the need for power, and the punch is rated to process multiple sheets at once to save time when preparing documents. The integrated chad tray keeps work surfaces tidy and simplifies maintenance. Its compact design balances capacity and space efficiency for medium-demand environments.

Suitable for

• Preparing documents for two- or three-ring binders
• Office administrative tasks and document organisation
• Home office use for reports, manuals and school materials
• Small print shops or reception areas with moderate daily volume

Key specifications

• Material: metal body with metal punching heads
• Sheet capacity: up to 65 sheets of standard office paper per stroke
• Punch pattern: standard round holes suitable for binders and folders
• Operation: manual lever mechanism
• Waste collection: removable base/chad tray for paper waste

How to use

Align the paper stack against the built-in paper guide to ensure consistent hole placement, then press the lever down firmly and steadily until the punch completes the stroke. Empty the removable chad tray regularly to prevent clogging and maintain smooth operation. For best results, do not exceed the rated sheet capacity and use standard office paper; thicker or coated paper may reduce capacity and require smaller stacks.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged service life, operate the lever with even pressure and periodically check for paper debris around the punching heads. Store the punch in a dry place to prevent corrosion and clean the chad tray after heavy use. When punching close to the edge of large stacks, verify alignment on a test sheet to avoid misaligned holes.
