Sizzix 656499 BIGkick/Big Shot/Vagabond Magnetic Platform, 6.125 by 8.875 by .625-Inch

I have a Spellbinder Platinum cutting machine and this plate works perfectly. It is only half as big as the standard platform, but l am finding that to be very handy. The magnets are very strong. It has a warning to say that the magnetic field it generates can interfere with a heart pacemaker, so be aware before you buy it. This platform is perfect for cutting a bunch of tiny dies in one pass without having to use tape to hold them all down. It is also great when you are cutting patterned papers and you want your die to line up with the pattern. A smaller platform is much easier to use. Fewer cranks to get it through the machine. Very few dies need the full-sized platform. Another benefit of the smaller size is that it is more affordable. The standard size magnetic platform costs around $70, so this is a great deal. I did purchase brand new acrylic plates and a self-healing mat to use with this platform. I make a sandwich using this platform, a sh mat, the paper and dies, and one acrylic plate. Then l use lightweight cardboard, aka cereal boxes, as shims, if needed. Very happy wirh my purchase. Planning to buy one for a fellow crafter as a gift.

Great product. Great service!

I bought this Sizzix, Multi Color, Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies 656499 several weeks ago, and finally had the time to experiment with it yesterday. I have several very pretty ornate hearts, butterflies, and frame dies. But I couldn't get the entire die to cut out all of the die. So much wasted paper and time. Very frustrating!!! I have the Sizzix Big Shot Plus. I found that using the small magnetic board, Heavy Weight Scrapbooking paper, and the Blueberry plates, I am able to successfully get a full cut out of these lovely ornate dies. It takes extra time, but it is worth it. Here are the steps I do: ~ I cut heavy weight scrapbooking paper to fit the magnetic board. ~ I make sure that I am using 2 flat Blueberry plates that have matched curves, but are as flat as possible. ~ In making the "sandwich", the magnetic board goes on the Big Shot Plus face up. Then place one Blueberry plate on top of the magnetic board. ~ Place the heavy weight paper on top of the center of the paper. Then place the ornate die FACE DOWN on top of the paper. ~ Place another Blueberry plate centered over the magnetic board and first Blueberry plate. ~ I then run the "sandwich" vertically through the center of the Big Shot Plus, and wind it backwards too. I repeat this 2-3 times. ~ Keeping all the "sandwich" together, I now turn the sandwich horizontally which fits perfectly from edge to edge in the 9 inch wide opening of the Big Shot Plus. ~ I run the "sandwich" back and forth through the machine. ~ I lift the top Blueberry plate off. I pick up the die with the heavy paper still attached to the die. I check the paper very carefully to see if there is still a place that needs to be cut. ~ If there is an area that still needs to be cut, I use another set of flat Blueberry plates and repeat the process, making sure that the paper is not shifted out of the ornate die. ~ Success and no wasted paper. Gorgeous ornate frames, hearts, and butterflies. I am very happy with this small magnetic board. The magnet is truly strong. It is so helpful in holding a die in place through the bottom plate of the sandwich. Kudos to Sizzix for making this magnet board.

I used it to cut out a ⭕ with one smaller circle and one larger and all of them I did came out great, no tape used. I use it on my Big Shot Switch with the Big Shot accessories. Works better than the platforms it came with. I would buy it again. Thank you.

Best magnetic platform to run your thin dies through your non-Spellbinders, non-Anna Griffin, non-Crafters Companion machine. I use this in my manual Big Shot (6 inch opening) and my electric Big Shot Plus Switch (9 inch opening). This platform does not warp.

Oh yeah!! If you've done die cutting and haven't had this baby... Order it NOW! I have a whole new outlook on die cutting! WHY did I wait so long?? Love it!! NO downsides! One of my best purchases in a long time. I am excited about die cutting projects again! Thank you, Sizzix!

Era da molto che la volevo, finalmente la fustella non si muove e non devo fissarla con il washi tape. Come tutti i prodotti sizzix top!

Perfeito! Indico!

とても便利、ちょっとお高目でしたが買って良かったです。

I don't have a Sizzix but this platform works brilliantly in my die cutter. The extra length allows me to use longer dies. I bought the cutting pads to match and have increased the usefulness of my die cut machine.
