Gemini Die-Cutting and Embossing Machine Reviews

by reefpearson

We asked CraftWorld users and CraftStash customers what they think of the Gemini cutting machines to provide you with a honest round-up of reviews on this best selling brand!

The Gemini die-cutting machine is faster, lighter and quieter than other die-cutting machines and has a sleek, low-profile design. It has been designed for intricate dies as well as for cutting heavyweight cardstock, vinyl, foil and multiple layers for fabric (depending on the dies used).

This machine uses higher pressure than many other die-cutting and embossing machines allowing better cutting of elaborate designs. The machine also enables edge-to-edge cutting of A4 and also US letter sized materials.

It has the facility to pause, resume and reverse the plates within the machine. It has a large platform size which is 9in x 12.5in so you can cut multiple dies at one time. It is also compatible with most thin metal dies and embossing folders.

I absolutely love my Gemini, so easy to use, not really had any problems with it…. apart from on the very odd occasion the plates stick inside the machine and it can sometimes be quite difficult to get them out. I always manage it though and would definitely not be without it. It generally is only once through the machine with the die, on very exceptional circumstances it’s twice with wax paper. Still a great machine.
I have got the gemini junior die cutting machine, I think it is brilliant. I love the way it cuts crisply and perfectly on its first pass every time. I haven't found any cons yet!
So easy to use. I have tried dies from a number of manufacturers and all cut no problem. The size helps when I want to cut box making dies, It also handles the small cutting jobs efficiently.
Lovely little machine, if a bit quirky! One shim cracked in no time at all. The magnetic shim is badly scored and one plate cracked completely so I am practising on what to put in without putting too much pressure on the sandwich
