The Cricut Maker is a versatile and powerful cutting machine used for crafting projects. It has been hailed as the most innovative cutting machine to hit the market in decades, with its ability to cut over 100 different types of materials, from paper and fabric to chipboard and leather. But one of the most popular questions asked about the Cricut Maker is whether it can cut wood.
The answer is yes! The Cricut Maker is equipped with a range of powerful blades that are capable of cutting wood up to 3/32” thick. This means that you can use your Cricut Maker to create wooden signs, plaques, boxes, frames and more.
In order to cut wood with your Cricut Maker you will need a few supplies. First off, you will need some adhesive-backed wood veneer or balsa wood sheets that are no thicker than 3/32”. You will also need some strong double-sided adhesive tape or glue dots for adhering the wood veneer or balsa wood sheets to your cutting mat.
Once you have all of your supplies ready, you can begin cutting! Start by setting up your Cricut Maker according to the instructions in the manual.
Then load your desired design onto your device using either the Design Space app or another compatible software program. Make sure that you have selected “wood” as your material in order for the correct settings to be applied.
Once everything is set up correctly, place your cutting mat onto the machine and load it with the adhesive-backed wood veneer or balsa wood sheets. Then press “Go” on your device and watch as it precisely cuts out your desired design from the sheet of wood.
