Abstract: A system for punching at least one hole in at least one sheet-like material. In particular, a device and system that is uniquely configured and sized to be a table top unit for automatic punching of paper. The system has a sheet feeder, a sheet transport module and a punching die module that allows a punching die to be easily changed. The paper being punched by the punching die module is moved only a short distance from the sheet feeder and while the paper is still supported by the sheet feeder. The sheet feeder is located outside the system's housing to facilitate adjustment and troubleshooting. This advantageously allows for a smaller, compact unit that is effective and efficient.
