Thanks for this, I'm looking at getting an electronic cutter in a few months. 'Im pretty sure I'll get the gopower, but it was great to see a comparison.
If you want to use small places in the Go Power and Emboss....Use Sizzix and/or Spellbinder Universal plates. I have the GP&E, the Sizzix Switch Plus and did have the Big Gemini (which I found problematic because of all the different sandwiches and shims and such I'd have to use for a simple task, so I gave it away). The Go Power and Emboss is my quietest machine. My only wish is that it had a flat top so I could prep and set plates and projects. The Sizzix Switch Plus is okay but very wide at almost 15" compared with the GP&E at 13.5". Thanks for the comparison, that was terrific. If I had access to it (I'm in Australia) I'd buy the Teresa Collins machine, that intrigues me.
Please allow me to ask a question, why do you cut into plates like the metal plates and the magnetic ones? I just was given a used Gemini Jr, and am tossing the magnet plate cuz it is such a mess. What I did was take my Cuttlebug magnetic put the metal shim on it, dies blades up then paper, with 1 cutting plate on both outer sides! One time through and works perfect 99% of the time.....love all you are showing so please keep put the great work! Blessings!
The magnetic mat are great for a few weeks once you buy it if you do not use it everyday. If not, it warps the die. On any other machine I use it to keep the dies in place. With the magnetic mat under the die until it becomes warped and useless. I use the metal plate as extra shim sometimes for some dies. It all depends on the dies. All the machines are good machines for their specific dies, for example the Gemini machines are great for the Crafters Companion dies, the Empress is great for the Ana Griffin line of dies. However, you can use all the machines for any die as long as you have the correct "thickness" on the plate combination. None of these companies say the truth when they claim that their machine will cut all dies with only the plates available for the machines. You will always have to use a shim with some dies.
in your opinion, which has the best cutting pressure? I already own the Teresa Collins. Do you think it's worth an upgrade? I'm not the type who needs latest and greatest, just looking for an excellent machine.
Hi! I think that the Cut N Boss is an excellent machine. No need to upgrade at all, except that it is difficult to find the plates once you need to replace them. The Couture Creations would be my choice for a second machine. It was offered here in the US by HSN and I think because they didn't give it any attention during the Craft days, they had it on clearance and it is showing sold out. Not sure if they will be bringing it back. So I Don't know where else in the US I'll be able to purchase replacement plates.

Thank you for sharing your videos ❤️
Would gemini metal plates work on cut n boss machine
Hi, the Gemini plates are not thick enough. But you can use the metal ones with the cut n boss plates for sharper cuts.

Hi the Couture Creations sandwich is supposed to be A plate (white) then C plate Cardstock & die facing down then B plate….it’s a GREAT machine

@@byJacqueline2u Thank you for the suggestion and review. I look forward to more videos from you. Keep up the good work!
I bought the Gemini about 3 months ago. I hate it. So I just got the power go emboss. I haven’t used it yet but I think it will be awesome
