Why Is My Cricut Cutting All the Way Through the Vinyl?

Many crafters enjoy using their Cricut machine to create beautiful die-cut designs in cardstock, vinyl and other materials. However, it is not uncommon for users to experience problems when they are trying to cut through vinyl with their Cricut machine.

One of the most common issues is that the Cricut will cut all the way through the vinyl, leaving a jagged edge on the underside of the material. This can be a frustrating issue for those who are trying to create precise cuts in their projects.

The reason why your Cricut is cutting all the way through your vinyl is likely due to one of two things: either you have your blade set too deep or you are using a blade that is too sharp. The depth of the blade should be adjusted depending on what material you are cutting; for thinner materials like vinyl, you should use a shallower depth setting so that it does not cut all the way through.

In addition, if you are using a brand new or very sharp blade, it may be cutting too deeply into your material. You can try replacing your blade with an older or less sharp one and see if that helps reduce the likelihood of your machine cutting all the way through.

It is also important to make sure that you have sufficient pressure applied when cutting through vinyl with your Cricut machine. If there is not enough pressure being applied, this can cause problems with accuracy and consistency with cuts as well as causing your machine to cut all the way through thicker materials like vinyl.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, if your Cricut machine is cutting all the way through your vinyl, it could be due to having your blade set too deep or using a blade that is too sharp. It can also be caused by not applying enough pressure when cutting. Adjusting these factors should help reduce any issues with accuracy and consistency in cuts as well as help prevent any further cuts from going all the way through thicker materials like vinyl.
