Replacement cutting blades for Silhouette machines. The blade is the single biggest factor in cut quality — a worn or wrong-type blade shows up as rounded corners, torn vinyl, and designs that won't weed cleanly.Which blade do I need? Blade What it does Use for AutoBlade Self-adjusting — the machine sets blade depth for you from your material choice Cameo 3 and newer. The default for everyday vinyl and HTV. Standard (Ratchet) Manual depth adjustment via the ratchet cap Older machines, and anyone who wants direct control over depth Deep Cut (2mm) Steeper angle, deeper maximum cut Thick materials — chipboard, craft foam, heavy cardstock, magnet sheet, thick leather The Deep Cut blade is not a replacement for the others. Its steep angle cuts through thin vinyl and into the backing, so keep a standard or AutoBlade for normal work and swap to Deep Cut only for thick stock.Getting the most out of a blade Set depth so the blade cuts the material and only scores the liner. Cutting through the backing destroys the tip fast. Always test cut before running a full design. Keep the blade housing clean — adhesive and vinyl scraps collect inside and stop the blade swivelling freely, which reads as rounded corners on tight curves. Blades are consumable. If cut quality drops after cleaning and re-testing, replace the blade before blaming the material.
