Do you need the extended cutting pads for the Big Shot in order to use this die?

Absolutely! You need one extended clear pad and the Sizzix Premium Extended Crease Pad. You must use the crease pad to create subtle fold lines.

Yep. Just take out the insert to handle the bigger dies. Remember to use a little blue Loctite when you reinsert the bushing, it has a tendency to work loose.

No you do not. This die is a magnetic base itself. This means that you can cut the Tag and Bookplates with just the extended cutting plates. Also you can add the smaller Movers and Shapers Magnetic Repositional dies to this base. So if you wanted a heart cut out of your tag then you could add it to this base die and you will get a tag with the heart cut out of it. So have fun and enjoy. This is a great die and I just love it. Just go to this address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxwbTGjvbx0#t=316 and it will show you about these dies. Hope this helps. :)

I don't know with this machine. I think the newer ones have more die cuts pre made to choose from. This machine works like a champ

YES< you may use most ALL standard dies. The RCBS is made with the 7/8 standard threads!

No, you purchase die sets for whatever calibers you wish to reload. RCBS makes good 3 die sets for straight walled handgun cases, for rifle dies, I prefer Redding 2 die sets. You will also need a shellholder for each set, as they are sold seperately.

You just need the 9mm die set. The instructions for their set comes with the dies

this die set comes with three dies de-priming/resizing, expanding die, and crimp die. You will also need the shell plate which I believe in No. 6. Depending on what kind of pistol you have will determine if you need anything else. Semi-auto pistol require a taper crimp-not sure if this set has that or not.

Yes you just need the correct dies sold separately as well as the correct primer pin setup small and large pistol etc also sold separately

No, First guy is right, you need #32 holder (RCBS). Don't reload steel casings, they will ruin your dies.

No, you do not have to use the Hornaday dies. I use various brands the thread size is standard on the dies they go into die bushings then the loader it is actually a little more convenient if you are loading more than one caliber.

No it doesnt. But it's really not a necessity - but a nice to have. The punches are a nice size and as long as you tape up your receiver, you won't mar the finish when trying to get the roll pin completely seated. Good luck.

Faith- I use my other embossing folders in the Sizzix Big Shot all the time. You can also use other cutting dies. Sandra

I presume that by larger dies you mean the steel roll dies. In which case, I can say most emphatically yes. I bought a steel roll flower die for my wife to use with this machine and she loves it. It works perfectly. I suggest for more info that you look up stuff about these machines on Youtube. There are a LOT of videos out there by a number of different people. My wife could tell you who to check, but I don't know, myself.

The extended pads are the same, just longer. You can put more dies on them to cut at one time. also, there are some dies that need the longer cutting pad. Usually the extended pads need the extended accessories to use them with varying machines. the 8 x 6 are the standard size
