I wanna - Filofax 6-hole-punch

Wiggly_Worm

Looking for a 6-hole-punch for making my own (standard size/classic) Filofax pages. Am still choking on the £32.99 Filofax tried to charge for their own make hole punch, so there must be some other way to buy one. Any suggestions?

Great question, very interested in the answer too.

I would be interested too - I've actually made a new address page for my 'personal' filofax as I don't have any fax numbers but often I have two email addy's for people, but blow me down if punching the holes is the only thing stopping me from using the pages!

Anyone know where to get a cheap 6 hole punch from? Or any thoughts on how to make neat holes? I have tried using my craft tools (eyelet setter, piercing tool etc) but it would take too long to do (and not an exact science either!).

Thanks in advance

here you go and looking at the picture looks very similar to the Filofax Original.
Rapesco Adjustable Diary Punch 66-P Adjustable hole spacing to suit most 6-hole diaries / organisers.

Many thanks Malamute!

It does look and sound like it will work with my personal organiser and a heck of a lot quicker if it does 8 sheets at once!

I'll just have to wait till I put some money into my account so I'll save the Ebay seller as my favourites!

Thanks for being so quick off the mark

The mini punches which clip in the back of your Filofax are always going for a few quid on ebay. These are actual Filofax ones - normally c£8 I think.

Here's one example....

I have always done this in the true MSE way :-) using a normal hole puncher, take off the back cover and hole it upside down so I can see where the punch position is, line it up with a sheet of old filofax sheet on top of my own cut sheets and punch away, hole by hole. its not as tedious as it may sound. I usually come away with a whole pile after a 1hr TV slot watching and punching away.

I bought the Filofax £8 one and its crap so don't go there! The above is a great tip - I'll be giving it a go!

I must be a true MSE too as that is exactly the same way I always use to recreate punched holes in paper where the spacing of the holes is not standard or alternatively the paper size varies. Don't have a Filofax though so glad you pointed out the method works ok in this case.
