REPLACEMENT BLADE Silhouette SD Cameo 12" Die Cutter Machine New,Black

Fit my machine and worked exactly as expected.

I am just finishing up a huge project for a friend's wedding. I am making 25-four sided luminaries with a lid. Each box takes 5 sheets of paper with each of the 4 sides having an identical, intricate lace pattern (made from the "card lace center" from Silhouette online store) It has taken me 3 blades to get through the first 8, but only 1 for the last 17. I used Hobby lobby textured cardstock (I do not recommend this paper)finially settling on speed 1, depth 6.Things I learned about the blades....slower is better for intricate patternsthe fabric blades (which the silhouette website says are the same blade, diff. color so you can use one with paper, one with fabric) are much better becuase the very tip of the white cap twists off to in order to remove paper particles. This is a much needed adjustment to the blade. Once I started using these blades instead of the black blades, they last longer because the blade flows better from lack of paper, PLUS you dont damage the blade trying to clean out the paper using a straight pin or damage the ratchet system by twisting off the black cap as seen on several you tube videos. I am looking forward to the time when the old style black blade stock is used up and the new style is most common.I love my silhouette. sometimes it is hard to figure out exactly what blade depth and speed are best for each type of media/paper. it is always best to use a test cut, and when all else fails, use a sslllooooowwww cutting speed. the first few boxes I made with regular cardstock and Bazzil basics were easy to cut and I could use a faster speed. But price and "the perfect color" had me buy 100+sheets of the Hobbylobby textured cardstock. much drama ensued, but I finially fiured it out.Cricket matts seem to wear out the blades faster and do not work with "print and cut projects" (the black lines on the mat seem to mess with the optical sensor), but they are less sticky and if you have a major project with tons of repetitive cuts like this, it is kind of nice to use a cheaper mat.Right now, the fabric blades are even $1 cheaper... \Silhouette Fabric Blade

Purchased this since my blade was pretty dull and not cutting well. Cut perfectly and was able to make 6 shirts using HTV cut on my silhouette with the new blade. Came quickly and price was better than the big crafts store.

I was slightly worried I wouldn't be able to find a replacement blade for my discontinued machine but here I found it and ordered it quickly. It arrived and worked great. I will be buying extra to have on hand.

I had some trouble with the blade that came with my machine originally, but silhouette has great customer service and replaced it. I purchased the machine as a pre-order, so all of the current blades are perfect. I have been using one lade for over a year now, still works well! I do quite a bit of cutting, usually several projects a week. So this is very durable. I cut both paper and vinyl, it cuts intricate designs well.I do notice that I have needed to increase the force slightly as the blade wears, but that it acceptable since it still cuts well. Sometimes paper gets caught inside but there is a great youtube video on how to clean it without damaging the blade.I was initially concerned that since this blade comes as a unit. You cannot just replace the blade, you replace the whole thing. But it has more than met my expectations and since the unit has lasted more than 3-5 times that a Roland blade lasts, I am very happy with it. I still have Roland blades to use up, but they usually only lasted 1-2 months for me before I needed to replace them. As I used this product, I noticed that it lasted for much longer and have been pleased with that and it helped to justify the additional cost. It is actually more affordable in the long run.

I've ordered a few of these from Amazon since its cheaper to get it through here than the Silhouette website. Most of the time, the blade works well. I did get one that kept on shredding up my cardstock. I emailed Silhouette's customer service about it, they had me troubleshoot a few things, and it still didn't work... And that was it! They didn't offer a replacement or anything! I went through a few of these while crafting for our wedding I was able to bring some of them back to life by opening up the blade chamber, cleaning our the paper bits and poking the blade in some steel wool or foil!

La misma cuchilla con que viene la máquina originalmente, una inversión segura, nada que lamentar ❤️

These blades are great and the price is right at just over $7. Have only gotten one that wouldn't work so far out of about 5 I have ordered. Auto ship is a nice option for this product if you go through lots of them. Each blade comes with the depth adjuster, as pictured, but I don't need them as my Cameo has one built in.On a side note, if you are new to Silhouette. Test out each new blade on your papers; keeping scraps of your most used papers is a really good idea. I just store them in the same box as the tools and accessories for my machine. The reason being that not every blade will work the same way. I have had one that tore every kind of paper and was only good for making straight cuts. I had another one that had to be adjusted to a deeper cut than other blades because the blade did not stick out as far; so for a normal #2 depth I actually had to set that blade to #4. It is unfortunate that they are so inconsistent but probably is due to the blade and housing being mass produced together as opposed to just replacing a blade in a permanent housing. Anyway, do yourself a favor and test out each new blade with a design that has both straight and rounded cuts to be made.
