John Tuttle asked what 65-note punch size he should recommend for
an art project.  That depends more on the art than what size hole(s)
were used -- they were all over the map.  I've done some research on
65-note hole sizes to determine the one to use for my 6/inch punch and
die set that is in the works for my perforator.   Here are some punch
sizes I know of:

 drill diam.,  perforator
 gage  inches

  #49  0.0730  Capitol
  #48  0.0760  Ed Freyer
  #42  0.0930  Cremona
  #42  0.0930  Carl Lambie
  #40  0.0980  Play-Rite
  #39  0.0995  US
  #38  0.1010  Automatic
  #36  0.1065  W-W, Connorized
  #34  0.1110  QRS

On the theory that larger holes will work better on systems in
less-than-perfect shape, I settled on 0.104", #37 drill.

I use the RQB series punches from Ross Tool in Warren, Rhode Island,
