This laminator feeds faster than my GBC. It runs at 12 inches per minute. I ran my 2X4 inch board through it 8 to 10 times. I also let it warm up for about 30 minutes before using it.

Shows promise. I've posted a photo of my first try in the Harbor Freight Laminator file. The board outline is 10 mil in width. Looks like it may be a viable, inexpensive laminator.

It's also cheap enough to take it apart and see if it can be worked over to accept thicker boards - I prefer to work with .062 stock.  I can send copies of the coupon, if anyone else is interested.
