Spellbinders Platinum 6.0 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine

I am so relieved - having bought a cuttlebug a couple of years ago, only to find it just couldn’t cope with thin, fine detail dies - it was with some trepidation that I bought this.Have tried my thin dies, it seems to cut them perfectly. Obviously I’ve only had it a couple of days, but it seems sturdy and well made so it should continue to perform.I’ve still to try on thicker card, but I’m happy with the way it’s cutting 200 - 250gsm.

It is a brilliant machine, easy to use and simple to use as well. Cuts and embosses beautifully. It is a replacement for one that has served me well for nearly 20 years. Very satisfied.

Nice

Brilliant die cutter can highly recommend

I loved the neatness of the machine and that it can be easily folded. I bought this for card making, for which it is very helpful.I was very confused at the beginning of using this machine. As I was feeding the materials through the rollers it started to make a very worrying cracking sound and I thought I was going to break something. Also, I did not know that the plates were going to end up being marked, so this worried me even more. I contacted the company and I have to say they got back to me very promptly and were very reassuring, even when I had to ask them another time why the clear plates warped such a lot (making it difficult to insert into the rollers). Apparently this is normal and the plates are a "consumables". I think this should be made more clear in the instruction manual as it affects the running costs of the machine. Also, you don't have to crank a lot, but it is quite hard at the beginning and I would say if you were a bit frail, forget it!I don't agree with some reviewers that it only cuts one sheet. I have definitely cut two or three with ease.I bought the machine for cutting fabric initially as I need lots of 1 1/2" strips x 5" and already had the dies. However, I find that, by the time I've cut the fabric to size to go through the rollers and it cuts maximum two layers, I may as well have cut them out with a rotary cutter!

Excellent machine,cuts beautifully

Card making

Fantastic machine
