Oramask 813 is a popular stencil film used by crafters and makers of all kinds.

Preparing Your Cricut Machine
Before cutting your Oramask 813 with your Cricut machine you will need to ensure that your machine’s settings are set correctly. To do this, you will need to select the ‘Stencil Vinyl’ setting on your Cricut machine.

This will ensure that the blade depth, pressure and speed are all set correctly for cutting Oramask 813. You may also need to adjust your blade depth if you are cutting thicker pieces of Oramask 813.

Loading Your Stencil
Once you have prepared your Cricut machine, you will need to load the Oramask 813 onto the mat. Make sure that when loading the material onto the mat that it is positioned correctly, as this will help ensure that it cuts accurately. It is important to note that when using Oramask 813 with a Cricut machine, you should always use a StandardGrip Mat as this has been designed specifically for precision cuts with thinner materials such as Oramask 813.

Cutting Your Design
Once your material has been loaded onto the mat correctly and your Cricut Machine is set up correctly, you can begin cutting out your design. The best way to do this is by using a ‘weeding tool’ or craft knife to help lift any intricate parts of the design from the backing sheet. This step can take some patience but once complete, you should be left with a clear stencil ready for use!

Conclusion: Cutting Oramask 813 on a Cricut machine requires careful preparation and setup in order to get accurate results and clean cuts.
