Spellbinders Platinum 6 Inch Platform Cutting Machine + Die, White

My order came the next day and comes with a cute die! This is an excellent manual machine. It cuts very nicely, even detailed dies, folds to a compact size when not in use, easy to carry with a handle on the top. The plate system is straightforward, so it's easy to go from die cutting to embossing, either dies or folders (no flipping tabs on the platform open, etc). Experiment if using 3D embossing folders are they all seem to be a different thickness. Recommend rotating your cutting plate to extend the life of the plate (I use one plate to cut into and the other I keep clean. Plates are readily available on Amazon and Spellbinder. I plan to use this machine a lot as the electric machines require an outlet nearby, so I can use this anywhere. Be sure to check out Jennifer McGuire videos on die cutting machines and extending the life of cutting plates!

I love this machine. I can review it before actually using it because I had a sizzix one that unfortunately finally gave up on life after more than a decade of use. I was relieved to see that this came with the plates as it doesn't state in the description that it does. If you make a lot of cards, this is a must have.

I got this to replace a Sizzix electronic machine whose motor is failing. I was reluctant to get a hand-crank machine because I thought it would be hard to turn the crank, but it's much easier than I expected it to be. The handle turns smoothly and so far it's doing a great job cutting both simple and intricate dies. I've had to do several pass-throughs for some of the really detailed dies, but this is not unexpected. So far I've only tried the clear plates so I can't comment on the rubber plates. In addition to die-cutting, the machine did a beautiful job on a 3-D embossing folder, so I'm happy with my purchase.

I wish it had better suction cups on the bottom and I wish it had a handle I could hold onto when cutting. The handle collapses into the top so there is nothing to really hold besides wrapping your whole hand around the machine. But as for cutting and doing the job it's intended to do, it's great. Small and compact for those of us who have limited space to craft.

The Spellbinder is very easy to use. However when using embossing folder frames it is a little more cumbersome. The impressions are not as vivid and the frame space shows the embossing folder image. The embossing plate creates more thickness with the embossing folder snd frame and it won’t go through the machine.

Wow - this is so easy to use, providing such amazing results. I love the sleek look with the white and bronze. The plate has directions printed on it. The compact design and how quickly you can pack it up and set it aside, then pull it out and have it ready to go is just fantastic. Wish I hadn't waited so long to order one! Had three cards made with die the provided within 30 minutes!

I love the new Platinum die cutting machine. It is very powerful making die cuts that pop right out. It's easy to roll the material through. I was using an electric machine a lot lately, but since I got this - I'm sold. It's great.

I received this machine on December 23, 2021. The handle came apart during the SECOND time I ran a sandwich through. I realize it was almost Christmas. I had heard that the company has excellent customer service. This is NOT true. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have repeatedly sent emails to the customer service address in the manual explaining the problem and attaching photos. I have left voicemails at their customer service number, I have sent them messages through their Facebook page. ZERO response! NONE! It is now 3 weeks later!!!!! NOTHING! My husband is an excellent mechanic and was able to fix the brown part by re-threading the insert so that it could be reattached. I am able to use the machine but that is NOT the point. The point is their customer service SUCKS and is non existent!

Love this machine it’s perfect, it fits in a small space because sides fold up great handle easy to carry.

Really a great die cut machine. I have spent many hours playing with this bigger machine. Have decided to make purchase of this machine after buying Sizzix side kick just to compare and see how other Brands perform as to Sizzix. Did not receive the metal die set that comes this machine but I really love compact size of this machine. Thus, I keep this machine with a small discount offered Amazon Sg. Thanks for the great product and great services Amazon!

I received my Platinum 6 several weeks earlier than I expected. It was well packaged with easy instructions to install the handle. I love the small footprint and that I do not need hydro to use it. It came with a wonderful die, so that I could immediately use the machine. Everything you need is there in the package. The platform clearly indicates how to layer and the booklet gives additional information. I was so pleased that the warranty could be extended from one year to 5 years simply by completing the required information online

I love my Spellbinder 6 Die cutting machine. I have had a few others, including an electric one and this is by far my favorite.

Love it! One of the best die cutting machines.
