The Spellbinders XL Universal Plate System (PL-131) is the ultimate heavy-duty smart upgrade for the full-sized Platinum Machine (8.5" opening). This 7-piece comprehensive bundle features extended 12-inch plates, providing the maximum possible surface area for complex die-cutting and embossing. It is specifically designed to eliminate "seams" and multiple passes when working with oversized Slimline dies, large 3D embossing folders, or when batch-cutting dozens of smaller dies at once.
What's in the System (7-Piece Set):
(A) XL Platform Base: 12.90" x 8.58" (The foundation for all sandwiches).
(B) XL Platform Top: 12.90" x 8.58" (Adjusts height for specific die types).
(C) XL Cutting Plates (2): 12.20" x 8.42" (The main clear cutting surfaces).
(D) XL Adapter Plate: 12.20" x 8.42" (The smart shim for 3D embossing and thin dies).
(E) XL Embossing Mat: 12.20" x 8.42" (Flexible mat for pressing paper into dies).
(F) XL Shim: 12.20" x 8.42" (Mylar sheet for micro-pressure adjustments).
Key Features:
Maximum Versatility: This is the only plate system you will need for a 8.5" machine. It is compatible with Spellbinders, Sizzix, and Tim Holtz products, including chemically etched dies, steel-rule dies, and 2D/3D folders.
The Slimline Specialist: With a length of over 12 inches, it effortlessly handles full-sized Slimline products (typically 8.5" long) with plenty of room for lead-in and lead-out, preventing "fishtailing" or uneven pressure.
3D Embossing Expert: Perfectly calibrated for the extra-thick 3D folders.
Pro Tip: For 3D folders, use: XL Base (A) + 3D Folder with Paper + XL Adapter Plate (D).
Time-Saving Workflow: The massive surface area allows you to lay out an entire card's worth of dies in a single pass, making it the smart choice for high-volume cardmaking or wedding invitations.
