User questions & answers

Question:	does the handle turn hard
Answer:	Between 3/8s and 1/4 inch. The grey plate is 3/8s inch. The white plate probably starts out at 3/8s but with use grows to 1/4 inch. Both are usable in a grand calibur machine.
Question:	Can steel dies mounted on wood or acrylic, and single dies be used in this machine? And, does it cut leather and faux leather
Answer:	It's meant to be used with the grand calibur however spellbinders cutting base plates are the best so I bought one and am using it in my cuttin boss machine with my precision plate. So if you can come up with a correct thickness sandwich for whatever die cutting machine you use, it could work. Take into account the size of the plate is meant for a machine that can accommodate larger paper - so if you have a big shot machine it wont work.
Question:	Does this work well with all embossing folders like Darice?I currently have a big shot foldaway and it is completely useless with embossing folders
Answer:	You will need to buy some sort of dirty cutting machine unless your hammering it out.. this machine doesnt fit the large dies only the 2" or less in width.
Question:	Does this item have a magnetic sheet available for keeping dies in place for cutting
Answer:	I have used small spellbinders dies and smaller sue wilson dies, you will have to send it through the machine once or twice for a good cut.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do i need to purchase " sizzix 657160 accessory, solo wafer-thin die adapter " for cutting spellbinder dies with vagabond
Answer:	It is a "shim" that's necessary for cutting wafer thins but it comes with the Vagabond when you buy it. Good youtubes to watch are put out by Scrapbooking made Simple. Love my vagabond 2!
Question:	How well does this work with Anna Griffin dies
Answer:	I have had no trouble with many brands of thin, intricate dies. All of the brands may have issues with cutting completely, but it's the dies that are the issue, not the Vagabond. Go to YouTube to get suggestions for solving this issue...placing dies closer go the edges, using additional paper or scotch tape shims, etc. I bought the Vagabond 2 because my original Vagabond, nearly 10 years old, gave up the ghost after thousands of cuts. I love my Vagabond and would recommend it highly.
Question:	Is this machine an improvement over the original Vagabond? How so
Answer:	Yes...it is quieter and less likely to jam. My old Vagabond got knocked on the floor by my cat and just quit working. The improvements are significant. but I wouldn't replace a working Vagabond with this one...As long as your machine works, use it.
Question:	What comes with this? Does it include the adapter and clear cutting plates
Answer:	Mine came with the platform, two clear cutting plates and the thin adapter for using the thin dies. I purchased the longer cutting plates separately.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you customize your own style
Answer:	Not sure what you mean. It’s a manual machine
Question:	Can you emboss leather with this? Under 6oz. Leather
Answer:	Sizzix sells thin, small sheets of leather in various colors. https://smile.amazon.com/Sizzix-660606-Leather-Metallic-Cowhide/dp/B01FV62OCY/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1536519420&sr=1-4&keywords=sizzix+leather
Question:	Bummer, I bought the machine, but It didn't came with the embossing folders, that are in the picture
Answer:	It’s just the gray folder thing that comes with it and the machine ... if it didn’t arrive I would think you could send it back for a new one...
Question:	Can I use die cuts with this machine
Answer:	Hello Eileen, I have tried but I personally wouldn't recommend it.. because the dies are thin, you need to make the plates thicker and when I tried it I ended up slightly damaging the machine, not enough so I can't use it to embosse, but enough to not try die cutting again.. hope this helps you. 

What is die cutting? Die cutting is a quick and easy way of producing individual, or mass shapes from paper, foil, cardstock or even chipboard using a machine and die, instead of cutting by hand. What cuts my material? A die cutting machine will always be necessary in order to die cut, though it's not the machine itself that physically cuts your material. The die cutter you use (for example a Sizzix Bigz, Thinlits or Framelits die), is responsible for revealing your design. the machine just applies the pressure. So if you're ever unsure if you can die cut a certain material, check the compatibility of your die rather than your machine

User questions & answers

Question:	any die can be used
Answer:	Yes, as long as it is small/narrow enough to fit thru the opening. Thinlits or framelits work fine. You could not fit a platform ( thick ) die....I do not think.
Question:	I have a hard time shimming my original sidekick. Is this new one improved that detail or do you still find yourself adding additional shimming
Answer:	The updated version has thicker acrylic cutting plates to accommodate wafer thin dies. No adapter nor thick shimming is needed.
Question:	What's the difference between the special edition and the other
Answer:	I don’t see any difference - except the price! I have the white/grey option and it came with the cutting plates, embossing plate and dies and embossing folders. I am very happy with it. I have a regular size big shot but so many of my dies are small and I can use this right at my crafting table.
Question:	Wondering if you ended up buying the larger size Sizzix? The dies need the be very small for this machine
Answer:	I already have the full size Big Shot. Just bought this for smaller dies and does not take up as much room on my work space.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, do i need to assemble this unit? does it ship from usa? thanks, candy
Answer:	It comes assembled with the exception of the handle which is really easy to install. The wrench is so you can adjust the top plate. This needs to be adjusted up or down depending on the height of the dies you have to work with. All my clicker dies are the same height so I just had to adjust the top plate once. It came in fed ex.. and honestly it was heavy. might take 2 people to lift onto your work bench. I think it was shipped from the US
Question:	Can this be used for embossing leather, instead of cutting it
Answer:	Yes. Just finished using this to stamp 800 leather coasters. Worked like a champ.
Question:	Will the wood/metal dies that have the foam on them work with this press
Answer:	That is what I use but the press needs to be set exactly the same height on both sides and be righted down for it to cut evenly.
Question:	Will this cut 12oz(5mm) skirting leather
Answer:	It should, I have tried 10oz without issue. only one layer at a time , 2/3 oz I could do 3 layers at once.
