Can Cricut Maker Cut Wood Veneer?

The Cricut Maker is a revolutionary device for cutting out shapes and designs from various materials such as paper, vinyl, fabric, and other craft materials. But can it cut wood veneer?

The answer is yes! The Cricut Maker can indeed cut wood veneer with the right settings and tools.

It’s important to note that the Cricut Maker is not designed to cut thin pieces of wood veneer. If you’re looking to make intricate cuts or detailed designs on thin wood veneer, you’ll need to invest in a rotary tool or laser cutter.

When cutting thicker pieces of wood veneer with the Cricut Maker, the first step is selecting the right blade: the Deep Point Blade. This blade cuts through thicker materials like balsa wood, chipboard, and thick BassWood veneers with ease.

Next, you’ll need to adjust your machine settings accordingly. For most types of thick wooden veneers, you’ll want to set your blade depth to 10 and your speed to 3. You can also adjust your pressure depending on how thick your material is; for thinner pieces of veneer, you may need less pressure than for thicker pieces.

Finally, it’s important to use the correct mat when cutting wood veneer with the Cricut Maker. We recommend using a StrongGrip Mat as this type of mat has excellent adhesive properties that help keep your material in place while cutting.

Conclusion:
The Cricut Maker can indeed cut wood veneer with the right settings and tools. It’s important to note that it cannot cut thin pieces of wood veneer; if you’re looking for intricate cuts or detailed designs on thin wood veneer, you’ll need a rotary tool or laser cutter. The Deep Point Blade should be used when cutting thicker pieces of wooden veneers and make sure to use a StrongGrip Mat for best results!
