Review: My New Favorite Tool - Highly Recommended! - I did so much research on which die cutting machine I should purchase, even asking friends who own different brands and came to the conclusion that this was the die cutter for me. Here's why... hope this helps others who are looking. 1. The smaller size allows me to run materials through with less cranking of the handle. 2. The handle is built to reduce the number of cranks you need to do to run the material through. 3. It turned out that I work better by running through a couple of dies at a time (if they are thinlets, shapelets etc.) and although I was concerned the 6" base would be too small, it holds all the dies I want to run through for that color and then some. 4. The side fold up making storage easy. This also makes it easy to transport. Sometimes I want to craft in my studio, other times in front of the TV, so it's super easy to pickup (via the handle) and place wherever I want. 5. The brand is Spellbinder which is very high quality, so I know it will probably last me forever. 6. The die cutter comes with everything you need to get started. Just purchase the dies you want to use for cutting and you're good to go. 6. They sell the plastic replacement cutting plates in a set and as of the writing of this review, they are affordably priced. 7. It came with a super easy to understand instruction booklet about how to setup the plates and the base plate even has assembly instructions for how to make the sandwich of plates for whatever you are trying to cut with. I am a total newbie at this and didn't know what people were talking about with the sandwich of plates and this manual got me from newbie to expert in a matter of minutes. 8. It is heavy which is good! This helps to keep it in place while running the dies around. That way it's not sliding around all over the table. Yeah, I can't say enough good things about this little cutting machine. I own a Silhouette Curio and a Silhouette Cameo, (which I LOVE!) but nothing cuts felt like this machine. It's a work horse and handles well. This is my new favorite tool in the studio. Very Highly Recommended! Review: Platinum 6 an excellent craft machine - I was using my SIL brand new Big Shot. I liked using it so I decided to buy my own machine. Shopping around I found this machine, the Platinum 6.. It has a solid metal construction and I like it better because of the fact that it folds up so it does save space and it is easier to carry around. Compared to this fold up machine, the Big Shot is bulky. The Platinum 6 also has a smoother rolling performance and easier cranking that the BS. I bought this machine used but it still performs excellently. The rolling action is so smooth that the dies don't slip around if you don't have a magnetic plate, unlike other machines. Also, with other machines, you have to purchase the embossing pad and plate separately. Both came with the machine, so more bang for the buck. :) ## Features - Powered by the same versa cut technology used in Platinum, the new Platinum 6 offers the same strength, pressure and durability - Effortlessly cuts up to eight layers of most materials in a single pass - It can blaze through even the heaviest of materials from leather, to wool, to craft metal, to Balsa Wood - The sleek, Modern design of the Platinum 6 machine features a collapsible handle and fold-up sides for compact storage - Sold with a pair of clear cutting plates, standard platform, embossing plate and embossing mat ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01D3JBOBS | | Active Surface Area | 6 square inches | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,291 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #172 in Scrapbooking Die-Cuts | | Brand | Spellbinders | | Brand Name | Spellbinders | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 338 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00813233025005 | | Included Components | Platinum 6 Machine, Spellbinders Operation Instruction Booklet Standard Platform Two Cutting Plates One Embossing Plate One Embossing Mat Handle | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.5"D x 12.5"W x 9.25"H | | Item Type Name | Spellbinders PE-100 Platinum 6.0 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine | | Item Weight | 1.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Spellbinders | | Material | Wool,Steel,Leather | | Material Type | Wool,Steel,Leather | | Model | PE-100 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | PE-100 | | Print media | Paper (plain) | | Product Dimensions | 7.5"D x 12.5"W x 9.25"H | | UPC | 813233025005 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Active Surface Area:** 6 square inches - **Brand:** Spellbinders - **Color:** Clear - **Material:** Wool,Steel,Leather - **Product Dimensions:** 7.5"D x 12.5"W x 9.25"H ## Images ![Platinum 6 Die Cutting & Embossing Machine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51r4UNT2uVL.jpg) ![Platinum 6 Die Cutting & Embossing Machine - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GiEJmHfRL.jpg) ![Platinum 6 Die Cutting & Embossing Machine - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HAKIgAg7L.jpg) ![Platinum 6 Die Cutting & Embossing Machine - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-KJfeQLTL.jpg) ![Platinum 6 Die Cutting & Embossing Machine - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nThkxo7XL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this do with wafer-thin dies? What do you need to add to the stack to use them?** A: I realize that this question is 3 years old, but I wanted to add something in case it helps anyone in a similar situation. As a general rule, when it comes to manual die cutting machines (and by this, I include the electric...but NOT electronic...more on that below), all will cut wafer thin dies, but not all will cut steel rule dies. Die cut machines in which one must create a “sandwich” in order to run the die, embossing folder, paper, or other media through it, fall under manual and electric and I don’t recall seeing ANY that are incapable of cutting wafer thin dies so long as the dies are not too big in order to fit through the opening of the machine. As for the differentiation between electric die cut machines vs electronic die cutting machines, here goes. Electric die cut machines are typically considered to be machines like the Vagabond, Big Shot Express, Gemini, and the Gemini Jr. that require the user to create a “sandwich” in order to run this through the machine. The machine is electric powered and comes with a plug that draws electricity. It is called electric because it does not require the hand crank to push the sandwich through as there is a motor that pulls the sandwich through the machine and it emerges on the other side all cut for you. By comparison, typically an ‘electronic’ die cutting machine is one like a Cricut Air, Silhoutte Cameo, etc. that do not use sandwiches, dies, etc. and the user can not run embossing folders through. These machines require either USB-style collections of images and projects and/or run off an online website interface that you access through your computer, tablet, or phone. So, to summarize, all manual die machines can cut wafer thin dies. If you are interested in steel rule dies, that’s when more careful attention must be paid to the type of machine. The most popular machines capable of utilizing steel rule dies (these are thick dies which can cut through chipboard, leather, thin metals, and a wide variety of media) are the Sizzix Big Shot, Sizzix Big Kick (and all their iterations like the Sizzix Fabi, Sizzix Vintaj, and the Ellison Superstar) as well as the Spellbinders Platinum and Platinum 6. While there are a handful of others, they aren’t as widely known and as a result, aren’t as widely available. **Q: Would this cut with a die cut that is 8.5 inches wide?** A: It would cut, yes, but it may not be advisable or easy to do. The XL plate is 8.5 wide, but that would be the width of the material you are cutting, not the die. In my experience, you always have to leave 1/2 inch or so of extra material to make sure you don't cut off the edge. There can be some slippage as the material moves through the cutting machine. This can be minimized by taping down the die with washi tape, but it doesn't eliminate it entirely. Its also good to angle the die as it goes through the machine for two reasons. 1st your plate will last longer. The 2nd is that its easier to move the material through the machine especially if you are trying to cut multiple layers. I have read the responses below and my experience is not exactly the same. I think that the experience does vary with the types of materials cut and the brand of die as well as the type of die. Regardless of the care that I do have to take to get good cuts, I really enjoy this produce and have made some very satisfactory cards. Hope this helps. **Q: Cut & emboss thin metals?** A: I think you mean cutting & embossing thin metal rather than paper. Not sure about that. Maybe someone knows the answer. Previous answer referred to USING thin metal dies to cut with, not cutting out of metal. You need to check on that if that's what you mean. **Q: can I use the Darice embossing folder with the platinum 6?** A: The platform is 6” wide so yes you can. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My New Favorite Tool - Highly Recommended! *by L***O on September 9, 2018* I did so much research on which die cutting machine I should purchase, even asking friends who own different brands and came to the conclusion that this was the die cutter for me.

It's on the expensive side, but worth the money. Buying all the die cutting sets to use with the machine can also add up to a lot of money invested in this type of crafting. However, once you start using it, it's addictive. It's fun to see the die-cut result, whether it be embossing, debossing or hot foiling. The only criticism I have has to do with the die-cuts. They're usually small and meant to be used on the smaller A2 size cards instead of the large 5x7 cards that I like to design. But overall, the machine brings a lot of joy! ## Frequently Bought Together - Spellbinders PE-100 Platinum 6.0 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress Machine/for Cardmaking and Paper Crafts/BP-001 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/29406285-platinum-6-die-cutting-and-embossing-machine](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/29406285-platinum-6-die-cutting-and-embossing-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
