Cricut blades come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. From the standard blade to specialty blades such as the deep-cut blade, each has its own purpose.
But can you use Cricut blades with deep cut? The answer is yes, you can!
Deep cut blades are specifically designed to cut thicker materials such as cardstock, chipboard and balsa wood. They have a longer and wider blade than the standard blade which enables them to make deeper cuts with more precision. When using a deep cut blade with your Cricut machine it is important to use a heavier pressure setting than what you would normally use with the standard blade.
It is also important to note that when cutting thicker materials like chipboard or balsa wood it is best to use a mat specifically designed for those materials. This will help reduce wear and tear on your machine by providing an extra layer of protection between the material being cut and the surface of the machine.
When using a deep-cut blade with your Cricut machine it is also important to be aware that it may take longer than usual for your cuts to finish. This is because the deeper cuts require more time for the machine to make. Additionally, if you plan on using multiple layers of material at once it is best to do so slowly as this will help reduce strain on your machine.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, you can use Cricut blades with deep cut. However, due to their design and size, these blades require heavier pressure settings than normal when being used and may take longer than usual for cuts to finish. Additionally, when cutting thicker materials like chipboard or balsa wood it is best to use a mat specifically designed for those materials in order to reduce wear and tear on your machine.
