Helps a lot with tricky designs

This product helps to add thickness and a hard surface when using a cutting machine. this helps to better cut complex structures and avoid "fewer pressure points".

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • Concerns me

Detailed die cuts are a breeze!

I ordered this metal spacer as a last resort. I had a hard time carefully cutting out the detailed craft punches. This plate made the task easier. Small pieces just pop out! Place it on the cutting platform. Then lay out the cutting plate, paper, stamp, cutting plate. This makes it difficult to roll the sandwich through your machine, but results in clean, embossed cuts (most of the time).

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Transparency

This shim really works!

I recently bought a Cuttlebug and in an effort to quickly refill a supply of metal dies I have ordered some cheaper and thinner dies. My first attempts with matrices were far from satisfactory. Finally, I noticed that many scrapbookers use something called a metal spacer. I figured I had nothing to lose and ordered. The use of thin stamps changed everything in the world. All intricate details are cut out and easy to trim. This spacer helps me cut with every die I've tried. It was probably the…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • For old

Save the day with embossing folders!

This liner saves a day when using embossing folders in my Spellbinders Platinum machine. Ever since I've had the machine (2 years ago?) I've had problems with embossing folders. I followed "sandwich", no luck. So frustrating! My Big Shot picked up embossing folders with no problem! I was distracted. Let's get back to platinum. I would use extra card stock to get enough printing. Sometimes it worked. I finally had an epiphany and just tried this metal spacer. Went like clockwork! I'm SO excited…

Pros
  • Cottage Cutz-Universal Pad
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions

Outstanding shimmer record!

I have had the squid for over 5 years and it still works like the first day I bought it. My only dilemma was that the beautiful spellbinder cubes were very time consuming because although I use paper spacers I had to go through them multiple times to get the wishing effect. When I received this shim I was optimistic and right; This adjustment plate works great with my squid. However, the more complex the design, the more it just takes one extra pass through the machine with no spacers, and when

Pros
  • Model Number: CCSHIM1

  • boring package

Useful tool, see alternatives in the Revain tools section

Big Shot, Vagabond, Cuttlbug, Grand Calibur and other punching machines. Today's price is more than double that , which I paid 2 months ago, and if I knew then what I know now...I would buy a set of metal shims from Revain (see the tool department) for very little money. These shims are 12" long and in different strengths available. By using a metal spacer, thin plate dies and very complex dies just cut better - more thoroughly and more completely. This shim is small and won't work with a…

Pros
  • This set includes a 5-1/2X7-3/4" metal plate
Cons
  • old
