I am not impressed with how the cutting plate on the bottom of the sandwich warps ! I have had a Sizzix Big Shot for 5 years. I have always gotten HUNDREDS of cuts from the same cutting plate and with very little warping of the plate. The Spellbinder plate warped extremely bad after only 2 cuts! my first cut was word dies, no problems. Next, I attempted a cover plate/frame die. Crazy bad warping! This was not operator error, I am not a newbie to die cutting! I read the instructions provided, pretty easy to understand process of making sandwich.
I thought it would be nice to have another machine when my crafty friends come over. I wish I had purchased another Big Shot. I don't think I can save the warped plate, but will continue to use the machine and hope for better performance. I don't think I'll ever use it for cover plate dies again!
