When you’re crafting with a Silhouette Cameo machine, you need to use the right blades for the job. The Deep Cut Blade is an excellent choice for thicker materials and projects that require precise detailing. It is important to understand how to use a Deep Cut Blade correctly so that you can get the best results with your Silhouette Cameo.
The Deep Cut Blade is made from high-quality steel and has a higher cutting force than regular blades. This makes it ideal for cutting through thicker materials such as cardstock, chipboard, and foam. It also works well with detailed designs that require precision cuts.
When using a Deep Cut Blade with a Silhouette Cameo, it is important to adjust the blade depth correctly. The blade depth should be adjusted so that the blade just barely touches the material you are cutting. If the blade is set too deep, it can cut too deeply into your material and cause damage or even jam up the machine.
To get started:
- Install your Deep Cut Blade into your Silhouette Cameo machine and adjust the blade depth according to your desired material.
- Load your material onto the cutting mat and place it into the machine.
- Select “Deep Cut” in the software for “Cutting Mode” before sending your design to be cut.
- Adjust your speed and pressure settings according to your material type in order to get optimal results.
- Press “Send” in order to start cutting with your Deep Cut Blade!
If you’re using a thicker material such as cardstock or chipboard, it’s important to use a low speed setting and high pressure setting. This will help ensure that all of your intricate details are cut precisely without any damage to the material or jamming of the machine.
Conclusion:
Using a Deep Cut Blade with Silhouette Cameo is easy if you follow these simple steps! Adjusting the blade depth correctly is key for getting optimal results when cutting thicker materials. Be sure to select “Deep Cut” in Cutting Mode before sending your design for perfect cuts every time!
