Sizzix 660200 Big Shot Manual Die, 6 Inches

LOVE THIS MACHINE! Easy to use and works great!

It works smoothly when embossing and die cutting.

Easy to use.

I love this thing! I make paper jewelry (as opposed to leather, which is what this machine can also cut). The cuts are nice and clean, and depending on the thickness of the paper, cut with more or less of a "ka-chunk" when the dies penetrate it. Eventually, I would like to try the embossing folders. I chose this size rather then the "mini" ones I was looking at because it appears there are more dies and embossing folders available for this one than for the small ones.

I was originally considering a smaller manual die cutting machine but I'm glad I ended up purchasing this one. It has the 6" wide bed and I've been using it A LOT. It feels as though it will last a long time. I do have to put some extra shims of paper in when using thin metal dies but that could be because I'm only using one plate and a cut down to size green cutting mat from the dollar tree so that my dies won't cut into the plate. It works well though and my plates aren't damaged when doing it that way. I own a Cricut Joy and a Cricut Maker 3 so one might ask why I would bother with one of these but I love having the different options. There are so many dies that I love the design of and I would have to design those all over by myself in Design Space if I wanted to replicate it on the Cricut. Sometimes it's just quicker to grab a die, your paper and put it through the manual machine than logging into design space, setting up your design, waiting on blue tooth, putting in the preferences and details, setting the material up on the mat, loading it and then waiting on it to cut. I could never replace my Cricut machines and they do so much that this cannot but I would also never be without my manual Big Shot die cutter now. It's great for my cardmaking and junk journaling. I can even use the Bigz dies to cut felt and fabric for applique's in my sewing projects! I may one day eventually upgrade to a Big shot plus as well but for now I am so happy I bought this.

I think it really should be sturdier than it is.

Had this 4 months and use it almost every day. Recommended for a beginner machine. Be mindful of the platform size as Slimline dies are too long for the standard platform. Will be purchasing the extended platform at a later date
