I spent weeks reading and watching reviews on the different die-cutting machines out there after my original cricut became obsolete. I decided to go with a manual machine this time. Even though the physical dies tend to be more expensive than digital kits, I wanted the ability to flat emboss (without a bunch of complicated steps), and the embossing folders are not very expensive at all. I have not used any other manual machines to compare with, but I am very happy I chose this one for three reasons. 1) The mode knob. I've been using my Bira Craft pretty frequently for three weeks now and I love that the different modes are changed right on the machine instead of building different "sandwiches" like I see crafters doing in videos. Whether I'm cutting or embossing, I use the same single cutting mat and single platform; I just turn the knob to change the rollers. Though my cutting mat is developing a slight curve, I don't notice it affecting the cuts, and the super-heavy-duty platform for etched dies is still rock solid flat. If I were using the thinner platform for steel rule dies, it might warp like the ones I see being used with the other machines. The only drawback to turning knobs instead of building sandwiches is that you might forget to turn your switch, though it becomes pretty apparent once you get cranking if you're in the wrong setting. 2) The depth knob. Most dies cut just fine on the 0 setting, but I have two so far that need to be tightened up in order to get every little section cut all the way through. I try tighter and tighter settings until I get a clean cut, then write on the back of the die with a sharpie so I know for next time. Also, if I want to cut craft foam, or use some craft foam as an embossing pad, I can keep it on the die cut setting, but adjust it looser so my foam doesn't get too squished. I have not tried it yet, but I suspect the looser setting might come in handy if I want to cut through adhesive paper, but not through the backing sheet. Also, I have read reviews in which other machines' rollers get loose over time. I feel that if this happens to my machine, I will be able to adjust the tightness knob to extend its operating life. 3) Finally, I love that this beast is quite heavy and shifts around NOT AT ALL on it's little rubber feet while I'm using it, but can fold up neatly and even store its own handle out of the way when I'm not using it. All in all, I'm very happy with this machine, and manual die-cutting and embossing have already been an even bigger and more versatile addition to my scrapbooking, card-making, and gel-plate printing than I had hoped! Tips! If you're new to die-cutting like me, you can find lots of great ideas on youtube. My favorite is that a single dryer sheet folded in half (other people use other numbers of layers) under my paper grabs the little garbage bits as beautifully as a tacky cricut mat, but releases them way easier, or you can just throw it away. Having the bits held in place on the dryer sheet can even make them useful for other techniques. Also, rubbing the top of the paper with a scrap of waxed paper before cutting (some people cut the wax paper along with the card stock) allows the die to release the paper so you don't have to poke everything out with a piercer. These two techniques together have saved massive amounts of time otherwise spent separating embellishment from die and garbage from embellishment, and saved money I might otherwise have spent on specialized tools for that purpose.

I wanted a large platform embossing machine only. I do not use dies for cutting I use my digital die machine. I was a little skeptical at first reading some of the negative reviews but after watching a youtube video on Bira's use and visiting their website I decided it was my best option. I bought the 9 inch wide machine. I am 100% satisfied on this machine! The fact that you adjust the pressure by a turn of the dial is genius. The weight alone tells you it is not all plastic as someone indicated. I took out one of my old Darice embossing folders from my old Cuddle Bug and ran it through. But it went through so smoothly I thought I needed to change the settings. Wrong! It embossed at the settings without me changing anything. It did not tear the paper (like my Cuddle Bug did), and the impression was clear and crisp. It was a rather intricate embossing folder too. I cannot say how it will cut dies but if you just need an embossing machine then go with this one. It is nice to know that it will cut dies but I doubt if I will ever use it for that. This machine has a lot of bang for the $$ and it has a large surface for the larger embossing folders. I love it!

I bought 3 other die cutting machines. One was a manual and 2 were electric. The manual was heavy and complicated. The electrics were a nightmare... and i paid a ton for replacement plates and shims. I was going to stop making cards until i saw a new one come out. I bought it and LOVED it, but it was too small for some dies. I found it was almost identical to the Bira, so i ordered the 9" Bira. It is a little flimsier feeling than its sister, but i have worked both almost day and night for months. If i had seen this first, i would not need the sister. I get better cuts than i did with any other of the 3 machines, and it is so portable. It's a little heavy, but not bad. It is much lighter than any of the others. I have serious arthritis and use it easily. I even use it on a lapboard on the couch! Ha! I think it is the crafting world's best kept secret! It has a thick platform and a thin cutting platform and the machine is adjustable with 2 knobs only those two platforms. Oh, happy day! The cutting one will need replacing someday, but nothing like i was having to do before with the others. The replacements are much less costly and not very often. I have had mine for months (HEAVY use) and recently ordered a new cutting platform. I also use a magic mat that works well. Remember to flip and turn every use so you won't have plate warp, and they last longer, the same as any machine. I have not had any plate warp with the thick platform. Flip and turn takes care of the thin one. Have fun! I sure am.

The media could not be loaded. I have experience with embossing/die machines. When I began to wonder if there was anything less hassle than all the shims I had to use, I looked for something else. I am familiar with Bira Craft because of their punches, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was so excited about the dials for pressure and different items, and at first, I absolutely loved it. It was so easy to use. And then, right after the one month mark, it became incredibly difficult to use. It wouldn’t grab the sandwich, but if I loaded any more to it, it wouldn’t budge. I reached out to the company and over the course of nearly two weeks, they tried to problem solve. They blamed me for using a Sizzix plate when that was my last answer to them - that even when I used other plates, it didn’t work. So I had 32 days of amazing and now it’s useless. Be aware that they will not give you any customer support.
