3-Pack Silhouette Replacement Blades

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 patterns the 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

fast delivery , good product, works well

Standard Cameo replacement blade cuts well and has a good price.

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 have an old Silhouette machine. I don’t even know what model it is. It’s sold i think it’s just the original or something. But this blade works great in it!

Arrived quickly with no damage. Works great with my silhouette machine

My go to for my silhouette! Live these. Easy installation, great cut and last absolutely forever. My all time favorite for sure

This is the best blade so far.

It was recommended to have one blade for the different metal clays I work with plus spares as with all blades eventually become dull. I am all set! Very pleased product and highly recommend seller.
