Now as I already told you ,I recently had an issue with my Big Shot - shortly after its 2nd birthday and soon after I continued to use a cracked cutting plate The Big Shot is actually meant for non commercial use - if you are going to be using it to churn out hundreds of die cuts a day ,you will make the poor thing fall ill! Do Not Force anything through your machine! Dont use local acrylic plates instead of your Sizzix original cutting plates - Dont save a few pennies and damage your Machine!ĥ.Yes I had just a tiny crack on one of my cutting plates and I continued to use it and soon my Big Shot fell ill!! Now when should you get a new pair of cutting plates ?.You will be even more disheartened to see how quickly your beautiful cutting plate becomes scratched- still dont worry - you can use it!!.When you use the Big Shot for the first time you will be mildly stunned to hear the crackling sounds - dont worry you didnt break anything!.so a BIG NO TO LOCAL DIES if u want to keep your machine alive. may be initially you wont realize it but slowly and steadily the damage can occur!You might save few pennies but will pay in dollars. Do not use unknown/ unbranded dies as you really dont know what sandwich is required and how it will affect your machine.If you use non branded dies it can harm your machine to a big extent.Always take a moment to read the sandwich recommended on the die / embossing folder instruction leaflet and on the platform of your Big Shot.Bigz dies dont need the platform- its sandwich is "cutting plate- die- paper - cutting plate"!.Its actually easy and written on the platform tabs which type of dies to use on which tab of the platform! If you are new to the Big Shot you may be confused about the tabs, sandwiches etc. Platforms of old style and new type Big shot Use the Big shot on a sturdy "non wobbly" table !.And from a medical point of view dont sit on the ground and craft- its bad for your back!.For your Big shot to exert good even pressure it should not be used on the mattress or uneven surfaces!.The Big Shot is a manual die cutting machine and you use your hand to roll the handle which turns "rollers" that cut your "die - paper" between the cutting plates + /- the platform. Seeing the photos of the broken apart Big Shot on my blog, I got many mails and messages asking about which was a "good" die cutting machine - Well there is no ambiguity on that one- As far as Manual Die cutting Machines go the Sizzix Big Shot is the BEST die cutting machine!! And no its not just my opinion, visit craft forums all over the world and that is what you will read - The Big Shot is the most popular machine out there!Īnd the Big Shot is available at Crafters Corner at the best prices.īefore we go to how to repair the Big Shot if anything should go wrong,ġ.
