It probably cycles in about .2 second.

The little ones arent fast...they are sudden.

Use two buttons to cycle the punch. That way you have a better
than even chance of having your fingers out of the way when it cycles.

Most of the little ones have a foot pedals with mechanical linkages.

Foot pedals and music do NOT go well together.

Ooh, foot pedals... to insure you can get both of your hands in the
machine and then cycle it... how evil...


Ayup. Lots of old punch operators called Lefty...
