How Do You Replace a Silhouette AutoBlade?

Silhouette AutoBlade is a great tool for making precision cuts in fabric, paper, and other materials. It’s designed to be used with Silhouette cutting machines, but it can also be used with other brands of cutting machines. The AutoBlade is a very convenient tool that makes it easy to make perfect cuts every time. However, like all tools, the AutoBlade has a limited lifespan and will need to be replaced after extended use. Here’s how you can replace your Silhouette AutoBlade.

Step 1: Remove the Old Blade

To begin, turn off your cutting machine and remove the old blade from the carriage. To do this, slide the blade out of its holder and then turn it counterclockwise until it is released from the carriage. Once removed from the machine, dispose of the blade properly.

Step 2: Insert the New Blade

Next, insert your new Silhouette AutoBlade into the holder on your cutting machine’s carriage.

Turn it clockwise until it is securely in place.

Step 3: Adjust Blade Depth

Once inserted into the holder, you will need to adjust the blade depth to ensure that your cuts are precise. This will vary depending on what type of material you are cutting and what type of Silhouette machine you have. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to adjust blade depth.

Step 4: Test Your Blade

Once you have adjusted your blade depth, test it by making a few test cuts on scrap material. This will help ensure that your new blade is set up correctly and that it’s producing accurate results.
