SU Magnetic Platform
FYI, this platform DOES NOT fit the cuttlebug machines. At least my cuttlebug, and my machine is several years old, so maybe a new machine may be a bit bigger? ANyhoo, very bummed - very expensive only to have to re-sell it. sigh.

It's made for the Sizzix, but I thought the Cuttlebug was the same size. Thanks for the heads up.
|
The Big Shot is a little bit bigger than the Cuttlebug machine.
I think the Big shot has a thicker opening. than the Cuttlebug. |
I know, but the other plates work (if you need them to) No doubt this was made specifically to not fit. sigh. THat's ok, I found a local demo that had not bought her's yet, so it's all good. Just had an arrrggg moment there. I'm sure someone will ask the same question here at some point, and the answer is NO, it will not fit the cuttlebug.
off to deliver my fresh-off-the-ups-truck plate to a lucky demo who will get hers pretty cheaply. Amy |
Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm glad I bought a Big Shot a couple of months ago - phew! I love my Cuttlebug (mine is one of the pretty blue floral designs) but there are some things that it just doesn't work for. Considering my love of stamps with matching dies, this plate is really exciting so everything lines up and makes cutting even faster. :)
|
Thanks for the info. I had been looking for information on it since I do a lot of cutting with the thin dies and hate when they move on me. I pull out my Cuttlebug much more often when using the thin dies because the Cuttlebug is smaller and lighter in weight and easier for me to grab. I'll have to re-think my options now since the magnetic plate is definitely NOT cheap.

Will this fit in Tim Holtz's Vagabond???
|
I think items that fit the Big Shot will work in the Vagabond and Big Kick machines.

At the top of this thread there are option tabs, one of which will help you search. Try "magnetic vent covers". Have fun! |
Thanks for posting this. I was so intrigued by the magnetic plate, and of course have a cuttlebug. Do you think it's worth upgrading to the big shot?
|
I have had a cuttlebug for a long time and just got the Bigshot...I use both! Now that the magnetic plate is available from SU, I will love the BS even more. It is more sturdy than the CB but its all about what you plan to use the tool for, and how much room you have to store and use it!
The dimensions of the magnetic platform: 9 x 6 x 1/2" or the metric dimensions are: 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.3cm. |

Perhaps the new SU magnetic platform will be a lure that will change my thinking, but I'm anxious to see first if it warps and is also considered a disposable that needs replacing more often than you'd expect. How many of us would have bought these machines if we had factored in the expense of replacing warped parts, I wonder. Cheers, Bahb |
Big Shot
I sold my Cuttlebug years ago. Love my Big Shot and find the magnetic plate invaluable!
|
I LOVE my Big Shot. I LOVE it so much I bought a backup just in case Sizzix stops manufacturing the BS. You just never know. Spellbinder stopped making the Wizard. I still have my Wizard, but I really don't know why. I liked it well enough when I bought it but there wasn't anything else out there at the time. Once I used the BS I was sold. So easy and user friendly. I decided I needed a Cuttlebug. Nice and small and could fit on my messy, cluttered desk. Hmm. I used it once. Bobbi.

I turn my plates on my big shot often and mine are really warpped. I did buy a new set of plates to use with my magnetic platform and will only use them for the magnetic plate.
|
FYI-I was speaking with a friend who is an SU demo and she said that people with pacemakers shouldn't use the magnetic platform.
|
For those of you with Cuttlebugs...I saw a magnetic mat this morning just can't remember where. Maybe StampOnit.net?

http://scraptime.ca/blogpage/?p=4318 This valuable tool is a safety precaution so that you can ensure that the sandwich you're going to pass through the Vagabond machine is not too thick (i.e. could damage your Vagabond). I prefer to err on the side of caution :) so I measure my sandwiches using the Sizzix keys with all of my sandwiches include Sizzix and t!m's alterations dies just to be sure I'm okay. I really really really do not want to have to buy another Vagabond ;) |

I would think this warning should be in the catalog. Someone could order it or already has not knowing this. Then have to go through the hassle of returning it. IMHO
|
I have not seen the paper catalog, but it is most definitely in the product information on the website store.
