How Do You Cut Oramask 813 With Silhouette Cameo?

Oramask 813 is a specialty vinyl used for stenciling and other craft projects. It is designed to be extremely durable and resistant to water, chemicals, and weathering. This makes it perfect for outdoor applications such as signs and vehicle wraps. But how do you cut this specialty vinyl with a Silhouette Cameo?

The first step in cutting Oramask 813 with a Silhouette Cameo is to make sure that the blade is properly adjusted. You’ll need to adjust the blade to a depth of 3. The higher the number, the deeper the cut will be into the vinyl. You’ll also want to adjust your speed and pressure settings depending on how thick your material is. Once you’ve set your blade properly, you can start loading your material into the machine.

When loading Oramask 813 with a Silhouette Cameo, make sure that you are using the correct mat size for your material. If necessary, trim down your material to fit within the cutting area of the mat before loading it onto the machine. Once you have loaded your material onto the mat, make sure that it is firmly pressed down against it.

The next step in cutting Oramask 813 with a Silhouette Cameo is to open up your design in either Silhouette Studio or another compatible software program. Select “Vinyl” from within “Material Type” in order to set up a specific cut job for Oramask 813. Then select “Send” from within “Cut Settings” in order to send your design file over to your machine.

Once you have sent over your design file, press start on your machine. The Cameo will then begin cutting out your design from within Oramask 813 vinyl. Depending on how intricate and detailed your design is, this process can take anywhere from several minutes up to several hours.

When finished cutting out your design, remove it from the mat careful not to tear any of its delicate parts away and discard any excess vinyl around it. You can then use transfer tape or transfer paper (depending on if you are using printable or non-printable Oramask) in order to transfer it onto whatever surface you are wanting it applied too.

Conclusion: Cutting Oramask 813 with a Silhouette Cameo requires some preparation work beforehand such as adjusting blade settings and making sure that everything is loaded correctly into the machine before beginning its cut job. With patience and attention-to-detail though, one can easily create intricate designs using this specialty vinyl which can then be applied onto various surfaces for lasting results.
