Complete with Extended Cutting Deck

I refer you to my review of the Sizzix Extended Magnetic Cutting Deck. These are the cutting pads that go together. You must have extended pads for the extended platform. Instructions for using the entire system are ON THE PLATFORM so you can't mess it up. Basically you put the platform in the machine, put a die on it, put paper on it, place the punch where it needs to be, cover everything with the second die and run it through the machine. Voila.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Can be added

Ease of use Ideal for die cutting and embossing

They work as expected with a multipurpose platform. There are two pieces in the pack. You put down the multiplatform, then one of these parts, then the embossing folder or stamp. Place paper (or whatever material you cut/emboss) on top and complete the "sandwich" by adding a second piece of solid acrylic. Run everything through your car and voila! You end up with beautifully cut (or embossed) paper. It's very easy! I would highly recommend these cutting boards - trying to use two pieces ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

Quality has changed or they are fake

thickness or quality has changed! Although I bought them in June, I have started using them earlier month (November 2020) Either they are not made by Sizzix or Sizzix have altered the quality of this product They are so deformed that I can no longer use them I have my previous records that I made with Bigshot from Bought Stampin UP, used it for 2 years! This time I decided to buy plates from Revain. Terrible decision. Now they are flimsy and useless. I will NOT buy from Sizzix again and DO NOTโ€ฆ

Pros
  • PRODUCT DIMENSIONS - 8 3/4" x 6 1/8" x 1/8"
Cons
  • thin

Problems with your inserts

My first inserts that came with my Big Shot lasted 8 years and these new ones broke after just 100 shots. I doubt Sizzix lowered the quality of the record though - Sizzix is a great company. I'm wondering if the difference is in the precision metal spacer I've been using for the past few years - maybe that warps the inserts? I just do not know. I'm frustrated with having to change cutting plates so often, so I'm playing with self-healing cutting mats to replace the bottom plate.

Pros
  • LONG LIFE - Make sure both sides of your inserts are used to extend the life of your inserts!
Cons
  • New Competitors Arrive

I wasn't ready to love these inserts.

I bought these at a fantastic price not realizing that Sizzix had changed the way these records were made. The ends of the plates are beveled making it difficult to see where to place the punch when you want to make a partial die cut. These records have a softer feel than the original, that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that they're different. And they are quite deformed after a few days of use. Still, they swallowed my big shot with ease. If you've ever die-cut, you know that theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Note. Your cutting inserts are marked from the first punch cut. This is completely normal - our cutting stands were designed for this!
Cons
  • I will add later
