How Do I Change the Blade Depth on My Cricut?

Changing the blade depth on your Cricut cutting machine is an important part of ensuring that you get the best results from your projects. The blade depth is essentially how deep the blade will cut into whatever material you are using, and it can have a huge effect on how precise and accurate your cuts will be.

The first step to changing the blade depth is to access the settings on your Cricut machine. If you are using a Cricut Explore Air 2, this can be done by pressing and holding the small button with a gear icon on it for three seconds. Alternatively, if you have a Cricut Maker, there are two methods; either pressing and holding both buttons on either side of the screen for three seconds or accessing settings through the ‘Menu’ option in Design Space.

Once you have accessed the settings menu, select ‘Cutting’ and then ‘Blade Settings’. Different materials require different blade depths, so make sure that you select the correct material from the list. The recommended cutting depths for each material can be found in either the manual or online.

Once you have selected your material, use the plus and minus keys to adjust how deep you want your blade to cut. You can also adjust this manually by using a ruler or measuring tape if necessary.

When you are happy with your settings press “Done”. Your new setting should now show up next time you go to cut something.

Changing blade depth on your Cricut is a simple process when following these steps. It is important to ensure that you get the right setting for each project though as it will affect both accuracy and precision of cuts. By following these steps, it should be easy to change blades depths when needed.

Conclusion:


Changing blade depth on a Cricut machine is an important step in getting accurate results from any project. It is relatively easy when following these steps; access settings menu – select ‘Cutting’ then ‘Blade Settings’ – choose correct material – adjust settings using plus/minus keys or manually – press “Done” when finished. With these steps in mind, changing blade depths should be easy and straightforward for anyone using their Cricut machine.
