Review: Clean Cuts Without Impressions On Your Cardstock!! - Prior to purchasing the Chrome Precision Base Plate, I owned the Original Metal (Black) Precision Base Pate for wafer thin dies. The new version is improved in one very important way. While they are both the same size (10” x 6.125”, appears the same thickness), the new Chrome Precision Plate cuts even 110# Cardstock using intricate dies cleanly, usually in only ONE pass! And what was rather shocking to me is that, even though the dies and plate pass through the die cutting machine with a lot of pressure, there are NO MARKS/IMPRESSIONS left on the surface of the Chrome Plate...even after 100’s of cuts! This Plate was delivered to me December 24, 2018...and I began using it immediately. I have used it nearly every day since (that’s 6 days shy of 6 months) and the photos in this review were taken TODAY. Now, some specifics you may not know about regarding this plate (so you can choose WHEN to use it): • It is meant to be used for intricate dies only...not with your more open dies. You may think, what’s the big deal? But read on... • Once you use this plate with a given die, you pretty much need to commit to use the plate with said die for the life of that die. Why? Because there is NO “give” in this chrome. So, when so much pressure is exerted for that clean cut, the cutting edge of your steel dies dull somewhat. That isn’t an issue for me. I mean hey...I purchased it so my intricate dies would cut through Cardstock. They NEED this plate to do that more easily. Why would I NOT use it?? • If you choose not to heed Sizzix’s warning to use only with intricate dies, your open dies, say...a frame die, will likely end up warped (bowed in the center because of the pressure). If you do this by mistake (I’m guilty), you can simply bend your thin wafer dies straight again (gently). • This plate is not intended to be used with the Magnetic Platform many of us use and love. In photo #3, you see the plate positioned on the magnetic platform, showing the 1.125” overhang the plate has so that IF you do place them together, you can easily separate them by grabbing the longer portion and twisting it on a horizontally parallel plane with the platform. Now why can’t you use it with the Magnetic Base? According to some users, doing so may shorten the life of your cutting pads (again, bowing them). Have I paired this Chrome Plate with the Magnetic Platform? Yep. Have my cutting pads bowed? Yep. Have my dies been damaged? Remains to be seen. (I simply didn’t know this piece of information when I purchased this plate, and now that I do...I thought I’d pass it along to you.) • This Plate is not compatible with the Big Shot Foldaway, or the Big Shot Plus. Just a heads up. As far as functionality, I wouldn’t even try to cut an intricate die without this plate. You absolutely NEED this plate in your stash if you have dies with many intricate cuts...Brands such as Tattered Lace, Couture Creations, etc. (Side note, if you want to cut MULTIPLE dies at the same time, spaced fairly close together, you need even more muscle than this plate in my opinion. When I’m cutting multiple intricate dies one after the other or multiple dies in one pass, I rely on my Gemini Die Cutting Machine. It cuts like butter...with EVERY die...EVERY time!) I hope this information helps you in your desicion to purchase. I would definitely recommend to others. Happy crafting!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I purchased the precision base plate  and it’s not working in my Big Shot to cut the die??**
A: Be sure you're using it correctly. It takes the place of one of the cutting pads and the die should be cutting side (blade) down against the metal side of the precision base plate. So, make a sandwich in your Bigshot like this: multipurpose platform, precision base plate (metal side up), cardstock or paper, cutting die, and last, cutting pad. Run it through the Bigshot a couple of times, back and forth. Sometimes laying a piece of cardstock on the top cutting pad helps too, working as a shim. If this doesn't do the trick maybe something is defective. The rollers on my Bigshot were pretty loose due to 18+ years of use and I was having trouble cutting intricate dies but the precision base plate solved the problem for me.

**Q: is this chrome precision base plate better than the regular precision base plate?  Does it work better with thin delicate dies?**
A: I have never owned the regular precision plate but my understanding is that they are the same except the chrome one doesn't scratch.  I don't own a lot of intricate dies but it works fine on the ones I do use .   If you really want it get It, but you don't really need it if you have the regular one.

**Q: Does this work with the magnetic platform?**
A: It is recommended by mfgr not to isebwith magntetic platform.

**Q: Why doesn’t this work with the big shot plus?**
A: Thanks for your question. The Big Shot Plus and Big Shot Foldaway apply a considerable amount more pressure than our other machines. This means when dies are used in machines such as the Big Shot Plus, the pressure applied between the die and the Base Plate can damage the die itself, reducing the cutting life. I hope this helps! 

Many thanks, Hannah - Sizzix
