USING A MAGNETIC MAT IN YOUR A4 MACHINES

I thought i would let you all know that we have been trying out all three of the A4 machines on the market using an A4 magnetic mat . If you use these to position your dies in either the GRAND CALIBUR or the JOY MACHINE , you will force and break the machines . This has also been pointed out in all fairness on Creat and Craft TV.

And our new A4 machine .....The opposite is true ! Yoiu can easily put though your dies on an A4 MAGNETIC MAT . This lets you position your dies to create all sorts of wonderful frames . Remember , on this machine the roller actually adjusts to the thickness , you cannot force the machine . No need to use any type of tape etc to hold dies in position.

I also must make it clear after many questions ...ALL THICK SIZZIX ( STEEL RULE ) DIES WILL GO THROUGH THIS MACHINE WITH EASE USING ONLY ONE PLATE !

Hope this helps and answers some of your questions.

      It works perfect with them , no problem. In this machine , you are in control of the opressure . You could even cut the gate out oif shrink plastic if you wanted too. Our new border dies we show here cut perfectly on one run through the machine , even when using the like of mirror card . Everyone who sees the machine is surprised by how well it does everything . To us sizzix dies for example only requires the use of one plate . Gordon

    Hi Gordon. Just wondering will the new machine be compatible with the fiskars fuse?
    Love the look of the machine but will have to wait a while before I take the plunge!!!
    Hope the new site is up and running soon

      Hi
      Can you clarify what you mean . The Fuse is an awkward machine to use and requires far too many adapter plates to even attempt what this machine can do . We tested the fuse in the USA and found it to be awkward . Likewise we saw it being demonstrated at the uk trade show and they struggled to use there own machine. Our 12 x 12 machine will be far better than the fuse and will not require any adapter plates . If you mean the dies , i would have to try one out , but cannot see why they would not work . If you have one please send it to us and we will test it for you.Gordon
