Intricate die cutting with the metal plate

Here is the sandwich for the above :

from the base upwards :

CLEAR CUTTING PLATE
WHITE BASE PLATE
DIE EDGE UPWARDS
CARD
METAL CUTTING PLATE

SETTING ON THE MACHINE : BETWEEN 5 AND 9 ( MAY VARY )

POSITION YOUR DIE NEAR THE FRONT CENTRE OF YOUR PLATES ( but leave a gap of at least a few inches for the plates to engage in the rollers )

RUN THROUGH THE MACHINE A COUPLE OF TIMES

TURN YOUR METAL PLATE OVER EACH TIME YOU USE IT RO KEEP IT AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE.

Caution :

There are some very awkward dies made in the USA which have no embossing holes ..these dies will always cause you problems in any machine and are not recommended !
