What Blades Can I Use for a Silhouette Cameo?

If you own a Silhouette Cameo, you know how versatile and useful it can be. With the right blade, you can cut a variety of materials including paper, vinyl, fabric, and more.

The most common type of blade for Silhouette Cameo is the Standard Blade. This blade is great for cutting thicker materials like cardstock and vinyl.

It is also great for precision cutting with detailed cuts. The Standard Blade comes with your Silhouette Cameo machine and can be used for most projects.

For thicker materials like chipboard or fabric, you may want to use a Deep Cut Blade. This blade is specifically designed to cut thicker materials up to 2mm thick. It has a longer lifespan than the Standard Blade and produces smoother cuts.

If you are cutting paper, you may want to use a Rotary Blade. This blade is designed specifically for paper crafting projects like quilling and scrapbooking.

It has rounded blades that make it easier to cut curves in paper. It also prevents your paper from tearing as it cuts.

Perforation Blades are used to create perforated lines in paper or other thin material. It’s perfect for making tear-off coupons or tickets. You can adjust the distance between the perforations depending on your project needs.

Sketch Pen Blades are used with Sketch Pens to draw instead of cut on certain materials like vinyl or cardstock. With this blade, you can draw intricate designs with ease.

Leather Blades, made of Tungsten Carbide, are ideal for making precise cuts in leather and other thick fabrics. The angled tip allows you to make precise cuts without damaging the fabric.

Engraving Tools, also known as Drag Knives, are used to engrave designs into certain types of materials including vinyl, cardstock, leather, wood veneer and more. These tools come in a variety of sizes so you can choose the one that best fits your project needs.

Kiss Cut Blades, also known as Stencil Cutters, are used to create stencils from thin materials such as acetate sheets or adhesive vinyls. The blade creates a shallow kiss cut that allows you to easily remove stencil pieces from the material.

Overall, there are many different blades available for use with Silhouette Cameo machines that each have their own unique uses depending on your project needs. By choosing the right one for your project type, you’ll get optimal results every time!
