I hope I'm answering the question you're asking here
Yes, to a degree, your cutting plates hold dies in place. However, while they are passing thru the rollers, they sometimes shift a bit. If you're trying to cut out a stamped image, that shift ruins your image. With the Sizzix magnetic platform, the magnets are very strong and you can place your stamped image on the cutting plate, align the die on top of it, place the top cutting plate and roll it all thru, and the dies will not shift.
(You can also hold the die to the image with a bit of repositionable tape, so the magnetic platform isn't an absolute necessity.)
