I love my Sizzix original Big Red, but need a larger cutter too. Are the dies from the original sizzix usable on this machine?

All of sizzix dies are able to be used on the big shot. You can also use the embossing folders as well. Hope that helps.

The letters are small. Perfect for scrapbook pages. All the letters are on one 12 1/2 in by 2 1/4 in metal plate. So the letters and numbers are all less than one inch big. I'm not sure if the die cut can be used in the grand Calibur. From the picture on Amazon of the machine, it looks like you may be able to use it with the grand Calibur, but I've never used one before. I have a Big Shot and the die cut works fine with that. The product itself says it can be used with a Sizzix Sidekick, Bigkick, Big Shot, and Vagabond. It doesn't say anything about the grand Calibur. Hope this helps.

Yes. I cut it with my Stampin' Up! Sizzix machine and got nice cuts - but only with traditional dies. It won't work with thin items such as framelits and thinlits.

The number of layers you can cut depends on which manufacturers die you are using. Sizzix brand will cut up to eight layers, and Accuquilt Go! will cut up to six. It's determined by the the exposed depth of the die blade when the die is compressed in the machine, not the machine used to compress the die. Hope I was clear enough!

I don't think so. I have the Tim Holtz die cutting machine. I also have a hand crank machine that cannot handle the big dies. I hope this helps.

I want to know, can you also use Sizzix mats and dies, or Fabi mats and dies with the Go Baby?

This uses dies, they probably have a square die. I would not buy this style, it's really outdated. You need one of the big shot or big kick. There's no end to the shapes they cut.

These are framelits which is a very thin die. A sizzix die is the same as a spellbinders die. It will work with the same "sandwich" you would use with your Grand Calibur, a base, cutting pad, paper, die and the last cutting pad.

Big shot come with the multi purpose platform and the machine, that's it. The one with the kit has that and Also includes 1 Bigz Die, 2 Sizzlits Dies, 1 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, a Framelits set, 10 solid yardstick samples and an instruction booklet. They never specify which dies, I assume its what the have the most of on hand.

Yes. You can use the Anna Griffin dies on the Sizzix. Use it exactly in the sandwich that Anna describes in her instructions but use it with 'no tabs'. The bottom platform on the extended Sizzix platform will act as your Cuttlebug A Plate. Use the two clear plates that come with your Sizzix as your Cuttlebug B Plates. Make the sandwich with the rubber mat that comes with Anna's cutting dies in the same configuration as she describes. Emboss also just as she describes in her instructions still using 'no tabs'. I bought the Sizzix for use with the Anna Griffin dies because I found it nearly impossible to get them through the Cuttlebug. The Sizzix did a great job with little effort. Great machine. Will be buying additional dies from this company. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use just about any die on Big Shot machines. I have the smaller Big Shot and they work great.

Sorry, I can't help you I have a Big Shot and Vagabond and I'm not sure if they are the same as the Big Kick? However, I can stay that I do use a "Metal" shim for some of the very intricate wafer thin dies and that makes them cut very well! Good Luck!

They say they will. I have not tried them. I do know that Youtube has videos comparing different machines and die cuts. Hope this is helpful.

The Sizzix Pro machine can cut thick chip board and some rolled metal sheets from what I understand. The answer, though, depends on the Accucut dies you use. The "slim" obviously don't cut thick products. To learn more about the Accucut dies, go to: http://www.accucut.com and feel free to contact their customer service people with product questions! Best wishes with your projects!

I've only had the large set since January 2014 so can't tell you about those dies. I have had some of the smaller dies for a couple of years. The 55018 die has been used for at least 3 pin wheel quilts and is still sharp. I've worn out the cutting mats and have had to replace the mats. The die could not be sharpened just because of the way it is made.

My understanding is that Lee dies will fit in an RCBS press and the other way around as well. But you can contact either Lee or RCBS to confirm.
