That die has a very large cutting surface which can sometimes be a problem. It sounds as if you have tried a number of fixes, but still no results.
When using shims to cut any dies that give you trouble, there is a trick to it.
You should only shim under the area that is not cutting. Shimming the entire die is defeating the purpose of the shim.
You will find that the pressure exerted in die cutting machines can vary greatly within the same line. One reason could be the amount you use the machine plus what type of materials you put through yours.
Once you have tried everything to get it to work, I would call Spellbinders customer service. The ladies there are well versed on the use of their dies in other machines. They should be able to help you.
