die cutting

[bran74]

Hi,
I have seen some dies which I would like to use in the Bigshot machine, but wonder if they are suitable.

They are Cheery Lynn, Die-versions and Impression obsessions.

I hope some one will have used them and can tell me if they can be used in my machine.

Thanks for the help.

I can tell you that the Cheery Lynn one's work. I'm betting the others do as well. You can probably go to their websites and check the compatibility.

Hello and thanks. I'll do as you say.

Die versions definitely will, and I think you will find that almost any dies will work in a big shot, no matter how thin they are.I have the Pro, and I can get them to work alright, its just a little trial & error with the plates and maybe shims. Just start off with the thinnest sandwich, and gradually work your way up with plates/shims till it cuts. That way you won't overload your machine and break it.

I just bought a Impresson Obsession die and it works great in my Big Shot. I would think they others would work fine too, but always check the websites for compatibility to make sure, as the other person mentioned.

I have some thin steel dies from both of these companies and they both work on my BS. I use the Multi-purpose platform-all tabs down, clear plate, die-either up or down, card stock, clear plate and run it through the BS. The die cut images cut fine. This the sandwich I use for any company's thin steel dies. I.e.Memory box, Spellbinders, etc.


Good luck.
