Staff Review

Challenge JF Single Spindle Paper Drill Review

Is your workplace in need of a durable, versatile paper drill? If so, you should learn all about the Challenge JF Single Spindle Paper Drill. Here's everything you need to know about it.

  • The Challenge JF has the ability to drill through 2 inches of paper quickly. A typical ream of paper is about 2 inches tall, so you'll be able to drill through hundreds of sheets in a flash. You can drill sheets that are 19 inches long or less with this device.

  • This device is compatible with hollow bits that range in size from 1/8" to 1/2" so you'll be able to produce different sizes of holes for different documents. Two bits (5/16" and 1/4") come with the device to help you get stared.

  • The Challenge JF has an automatic trip side guide and adjustable margins so you'll be able to drill your paper in just the right spot(s). This machine also comes with a backgauge so you'll be able to put multiple holes in your paper to produce two- and three-hole patterns and more. (Note: you'll need to drill each hole separately if you're producing a multiple-hole pattern because this device only has one spindle. This could be time-consuming if you have lots of sheets to process.)

  • The Challenge JF can do more than just put holes in paper. You can purchase several different attachments for it to use for round cornering, slitting, and slotting. Unfortunately, all of these attachments are sold separately but they can really make your machine much more versatile.

  • This machine is operated by a foot pedal which allows you to keep your hands free while operating it. You'll feel in more control over the process because of this feature.

  • If your workspace is pretty cramped, the Challenge JF may not be the best choice. It has a 32" x 42" footprint so it requires 1,344 square inches of space. Also, it's 60 inches tall and weighs 154 pounds. You'll want to get help moving it so you don't end up injuring yourself.

  • This device is well-constructed and is durable enough to provide you with years of use. It comes with a one-year warranty so you're covered in case you experience any problems with it.

The Challenege JF is really one of the best single spindle drills on the market. Its drilling capacity is typical for a machine like this and it's large enough for you to process hundreds of sheets in a matter of seconds. This device has lots of features that make it easy for you to get the results you want including the backgauge, automatic trip side guide, and the adjustable margins. (Just keep in mind you'll need to drill each hole separately because this is a single spindle device.) Also, it's great that you can purchase attachments to this device to use it for slotting, slitting, and corner rounding. The attachments turn this machine into an all-in-one device that would be a great choice for binderies, print shops, and more. So if your workplace is in need of a fantastic paper handling machine, the Challenge JF is a product you need to take a look at.
