I own a cuttlebug and use the sizzix dies regularly. This movers and shapers L die works great and cut easily through cardstock.

From what I've seen, most all dies are 'standard thread' and will work in many other presses of different manufacturers. In this case, I couldn't tell you; all of my press equipment is Lee.

You will need a dial caliper, loading block, bullet puller, case tumbler and a reloading manuel and extra bushings for each die.

My press came with 9mm dies, powder measure, tool head to screw the dies in, and lg & small primer tubes. You'll need a powder scale and a set of calipers to get going.

Chipboard can bought as "die cut" shapes or giant letters, made into mini albums for scrapbooking, mixed media, journal covers, or making boxes. I use them for wordbooks which are albums where each page is shaped like a letter or a shape. This chipboard is too thick for die cut machines. Can be hand cut with straight edge by scoring first with an Exacto knife then cut along outline as many times as needed to cut through.

Any Lee press will work with these dies, except the shotshell press for shotgun shells, any kit or press is acceptable.

As long as you have the dies for that size. The Lee Loadmasters is a decent press, just need a little finesse during setup. Mine work flawlessly, 6 months and 7000 rds so far.

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.

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

Lee precision pacesetter .223 dies will do you a good job. Keep in mind you will need Lee Precision Breech lock bushings for any dies you plan to use.

it would depend on the type of bit used and how deep that you want to engrave. You would also need to purchase additional software to make the text more quickly engraved. The mill software provided used linear type g code generated from a black and white image. CNC software produces vector lines that follow text fonts- much more time efficient.

Not certain, as I have not tried it. My friend that does own the Big Shot, said that you could use the smaller (not thinner) dies in both machines.

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

The quick trim die is a separate item. You can order it separately and attach it to your press. I bought one for .223 and have trimmed about 500 cases. It works great!

It can use the Sizzix Pro dies that measure 12" wide x 12 3/4" length (or longer). The width of the Pro die must be 12" or less, though. I use the Pro cutting pads and that is all they need to go through the Fiskars Fuse. I have about 20 Pro dies and all of them work. However, the width of the Fuse is 12", so at least one side -must- be 12" or less. The dies can be any length, though, as long as your cutting pad is long enough.
