Has anyone tried using a pounce wheel to make a notebook with tear away pages?

If so, do you have suggestions for sources, and which sizes work best?

I am looking to make my own pocket notebook, and wanted to make some of the pages easily removable for making notes for/to others.

You might find some answers here

Or join the Book List Serv group and ask the question. They are a friendly group, and members are rather experienced book binders.

Great, thanks for the suggestions.

I have played around wth using a pounce wheel to make perforations in paper and it will certianly work, however it can be tedious on a book with a lot of pages. As far as type it depends on what you are looking for the closer together the tines the finer the perforation will be. In my experience the older ones tend to have the tines closer together. I've found them at antique tool shows and flea markets. As an alternative if you have a rotary paper cutter many have a perforating blade available. Hope this was some help.

Keep one of these little "Cutter Bee" perforators in your pocket and perforate pages as you need to. I don't know how you plan to use your notebooks so this may not be practical, but take a look:

Yes , Like some one who mentioned here, you would be needing a simple rotary paper cutter . They have assorted replacement blades . One of which is the perforator. I have the 18mm diameter blade- the smallest I could find. (Maybe there's something smaller?) I too wanted the finest perforation available.

The brand is OLFA. Quite commonly available.

Where did you buy the 18mm perforation wheel? I don't see it listed on the olfarotary.com us website.
The didn't have that particular replacement blade at either the local Michael's craft stores or Joann fabrics.
But I have seen them on the internet, just not for sale in the US.

Sorry for late reply.
For some reason, I am not getting any notification of my tracked postings. So unless I remember what I posted, I will have forgotten the thread.

I am not in the US. Sorry.

Here are some pics, tho I am not sure if its of any use.










The replacement blade you are looking for would be the PRB-18 (for 18mm)

There are other brands other than OLFA too.

I have yet to find a finer perforator. Anyone can help here?

Thanks for posting the pictures.
I contacted Olaf's us distributor and they said this item was not available in the states, and were of no help when I asked where I might be able to get one outside of the us

Fiskars does make a pounce wheel, but it is only availible in a 45mm wheel size in a hand held version, and 28mm wheel but that is not a hand held cutter.

Does anyone outside of the US want to send me the 18mm olaf blade?

Looks like you can buy the 18mm cutters and blades at the World Kitchen site: http://www.shopworldkitchen.com/index.asp

Hi Greg thanks for digging up this link for me, unfortunately they don't have the pounce wheel blade, only the standard rotary cutter blade version.
