Product Information

Full details

The Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die-Cutting Machine (667140) is designed for scrapbooking enthusiasts, cardmakers, and home decor crafters who require a larger cutting surface for their projects. Its primary benefit is the 9-inch wide opening, which accommodates larger dies and projects while maintaining the robust performance of Sizzix’s traditional manual machines. However, users should be aware that because it is a manual machine, it requires physical effort to crank materials through the rollers, which may not be suitable for those with limited hand or wrist mobility.

FAQs

Can I use dies from other brands with this machine?

Yes, the Sizzix Big Shot Plus is compatible with most wafer-thin and steel-rule dies from other manufacturers, provided they fit within the 9-inch width.

Does this machine come with a warranty?

Sizzix machines typically include a limited manufacturer's warranty. Refer to the documentation included with your specific unit for details.

Is it possible to emboss with this machine?

Yes, this machine is fully compatible with Sizzix embossing folders and textured impressions.

Can the Big Shot Plus cut metal sheets?

It can cut very thin metal foil or shim material, but it is not intended for heavy-gauge metal.

Do I need to lubricate the rollers?

The machine comes pre-lubricated. It should not require further maintenance under normal crafting conditions.

What is the largest die I can use?

You can use any die that fits within the 9-inch width of the platform opening.

Troubleshooting

The die did not cut all the way through the material.

Check your sandwich configuration. You may need to add an extra shim or ensure the correct adapter is being used for the specific die thickness.

The machine is difficult to turn or feels stuck.

Verify that you are not forcing a sandwich that is too thick through the opening. Never force the handle if you feel significant resistance.

Cutting pads are bowing or warping.

This is normal wear for polycarbonate pads. Flip them and rotate them after every use to help them wear evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide 9-inch platform fits larger dies
  • Sturdy construction ensures consistent results
  • Space-saving design with detachable handle
  • Broad compatibility with Sizzix die collections

Cons

  • Manual operation requires physical effort
  • Heavier unit due to steel internal components
  • Large footprint may be bulky for very small desks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your machine is straightforward: place the machine on a flat, stable surface, attach the handle, and stack your chosen adapter, base platform, and cutting pads according to the Sizzix sandwich configuration guide. Compatibility is extensive; the machine works with all Sizzix accessory dies and embossing folders, though always check the recommended sandwich guide for the specific die or folder type. To care for your machine, keep the rollers clean and free of debris. Rotate your cutting pads regularly—flipping them and turning them 180 degrees—to prevent warping and extend their lifespan. If the pads become deeply grooved over time, replace them to maintain high-quality cutting performance.
