So...How does the Big Shot machine work?

1. How does the Big Shot work?

Using steel-ruled and chemically-etched dies, the Big Shot cuts out images by passing card stock and other materials through rollers that utilize pressure to cut through the materials. With just a couple turns of the handle, you'll be able to cut through a wide variety of materials. The Big Shot also comes with special cutting pads and a cuttingplatform that not only make the Big Shot safer and easier to use, but also lengthen the life of the product.

2. What are the different types of dies that you can use with the Big Shot?

Currently, the Big Shot utilizes two different types of dies; Steel Rule & Chemically-Etched.

Steel Rule: When you think of steel rule dies, think of cookie cutters - they work on the same principle. Steel rule dies are made by embedding an elongated razor blade into a hard wood base and then covering that blade with foam for safety. When the die is passed through the Big Shot, the foam is compressed and the blade punches through the material being cut. Because steel rule dies use a blade, you can cut more types of material as well as multiple layers of that material. Additionally, the cutting blades can also be designed with scoring blades to create fold lines.

Chemically Etched: Unlike steel rule dies, chemically etched dies can cut intricate designs. To create these dies, elaborate designs are etched into the metal using chemicals to burn away the unwated metal. While these dies can create more intricate designs, they cannot cut as many types of materials, nor can they cut multiple layers of material.

3. I have dies from other companies...can I use them with the Big Shot?

Yes, you can. The Big Shot is the most vesatile die-cutting machine on the market today. Using the multi-purpose platform (comes with the machine), you can use dies, embossing plates, and other products from a wide variety of sources.

4. I've heard that you can run multiple sheets of card stock through the Big Shot at the same time. How may can I run through at once?

Using the steel rule dies, you can run multiple sheets of card stock through the Big Shot. The number of sheets depends on the die being used. Simple shape dies - dies that do not have perforation or scoring or that are more detailed may not produce the exact cuts when cutting multiples. You'll want to experiment and see how many sheets you are comfortable passing through the Big Shot at once to get the desired effect. Chemically etched dies should only be used to cut one sheet at a time.
