How Do You Use a Silhouette Rotary Blade?

The Silhouette Rotary Blade is a must have tool for anyone who enjoys crafting or making homemade items. This multi-purpose tool is perfect for cutting fabric, paper, vinyl, and more. With this tool, you can save time and money by not having to buy multiple tools to complete the same tasks.

Getting Started With the Silhouette Rotary Blade

The first step to using a Silhouette Rotary Blade is to make sure that it is properly inserted into your cutting machine. You should follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with your machine when inserting the blade.

Once the blade is in place, you will need to adjust the depth of the blade so that it cuts at the correct depth for your material. This can usually be adjusted by turning a dial on the side of the machine.

Cutting with Your Silhouette Rotary Blade

Once you have set up your machine and adjusted the blade depth, it’s time to start cutting! You will need to load your material onto a cutting mat before beginning any projects.

Make sure that all edges of your material are securely held down on the mat before beginning. Then just select a design from either your computer or from one of the many Silhouette Design Store designs available online.

Now select “Send” from within Silhouette Studio and watch as your project is cut out using precision accuracy! You can use both rotary blades and regular blades in almost any design that you create in Silhouette Studio.

Caring For Your Silhouette Rotary Blade

After each use, it’s important to clean off any adhesive residue or fabric fibers that may have attached itself to the blade. This can be done by wiping down the blade with a damp cloth or running it through a lint roller. Also make sure that you store your blade in its protective case when not in use.

Conclusion

Using a Silhouette Rotary Blade is an easy way for crafters and DIYers alike to save time and money when completing projects. By following proper installation instructions, adjusting blade depth settings, loading materials onto cutting mats, and caring for blades after each use, you can get great results every time!
