There are many different types of Cricut blades available for use with Cricut machines. From Cutting to scoring, embossing, and more, each blade has its own specific purpose.
Knowing the difference between the types of blades is important for deciding which one is best for your project. Let’s take a look at some of the most common Cricut blades and how they differ from each other.
Fine Point Blade
The Fine Point Blade is the standard blade that comes with all Cricut machines. It is perfect for making detailed cuts in cardstock, vinyl, and other thin materials. The blade features a small point that allows it to make intricate cuts in both paper and fabric.
Deep Point Blade
The Deep Point Blade is designed for making deep cuts in thicker materials such as chipboard and craft foam. It has a larger point than the Fine Point Blade and can cut through thicker materials with ease.
Scoring Wheel
The Scoring Wheel is used to make precise creases or score lines on paper and cardstock. This wheel features two separate points – one on each side – so you can easily create fold lines or score lines without having to use scissors or a ruler.
Engraving Tip
The Engraving Tip is perfect for adding detail to projects.
With this tip, you can engrave designs into metal, plastic, wood, leather, and more. It produces a deeper cut than other blades so you can create intricate designs with ease.
Debossing Tip
The Debossing Tip creates an embossed effect by pressing into cardstock or paper to create a raised image. This tip works great for adding texture to cards, scrapbooks, decorations and more.
