A combination of a die retention pallet and a material cutting device for cutting material using blade-cut dies includes the device having a base, a pressing device mounted on and spaced from the base operative to exert force towards the base, and a pressing device engager operative to engage the pressing device and thereby drive the pressing device to exert force towards the base and the die retention pallet. The die retention pallet includes an open-top box having a base wall and at least two opposite side walls mounted on and extending upwards from the base wall, the die retention pallet dimensioned to fit within the material cutting device between the base and the pressing device of the material cutting device. The present invention also includes a die cover lid operative to cover a blade-cut die supported on the base wall of the die retention pallet. Finally, the die retention pallet is placed between the pressing device and the base of the material cutting device such that upon the pressing device engager engaging the pressing device thereby driving the pressing device to exert force towards the base, the pressing device engages the die cover lid which has been placed over a blade-cut die thereby forcing the die cover lid into contact with a blade-cut die supported on the base wall of the die retention pallet whereby material to be cut sandwiched between the die cover lid and a blade-cut die is cut in a shape designated by the blade-cut die.
