Ellison die sets and cut machines

Using the Ellison die cut machine is a fast and easy way to cut the perfect shape every time from a variety of materials—including multiples. The dies works just like a cookie cutter and can quickly cut countless shapes for a variety of programming or Storytime opportunities.

The dies can be used to cut shapes out of paper, but also on many additional materials such as aluminum, balsa wood, bubble wrap, fabric, felt, magnet sheets, mat board, plastic, quilt batting, rubber, fine sandpaper, sponge, vellum, vinyl and wall paper.

PLEASE NOTE: The Ellison Die Cut Machine is intended for use by library staff in the library. Members of the public wishing to use the machine need to contact their local library to coordinate in-library use. It is up to the discretion of the local library staff whether or not to allow a member of the public to use the machine in the library. Should the machine or dies be taken outside the library (other than for System van transit), the library is liable for any damage to the machine, the dies, case, or injury to the user.

For safety's sake, it is NOT to be used by anyone under the age of 16.  Any injury occurring to a person from the machine is the responsibility of the borrowing library.
