Review : X Cut Die Cutting Machine

I've had the X Cut for a little over two months now, and thought I'd give you an update on how were getting on together.It feels and handles like a well made robust machine which it is. The ability to change the depth of the roller to accommodate the different dies is great, as it allows you to emboss without using different plates, and it can also deal with different thickness of card stock easily, allowing you to tweak it for a perfect cut.

Like most cutting machines of this type you often find a sweet spot where it cuts perfectly and dead zones where it doesn't. This is particularly apparent when you are cutting multiple dies on the same pass, but it's far from a deal breaker. 

One of its best features is its ability to fold up when not in use, into what is a very compact foot print. Something very handy if you don't have a permanent craft room.

Overall I rate this as a 9/10 - available widely at £79:99 this cutter is at the lower spectrum of similar machines, with a sturdy build and clever design
