New 2mm Silhouette Kraft Blade (2mm) for CAMEO 3, Curio, Portrait 2
Along with the release of the CAMEO 4's 3mm Kraft Blade, Silhouette is also releasing a Kraft Blade for some of the older model Silhouette Machines. The 2mm Kraft Blade can be used with the CAMEO 3, Portrait 2, and Curio all of which have a 2mm clearance.The 2mm Kraft Blade can be used in either carriage of the CAMEO 3. It can also be used in the CAMEO 4's left carriage when used with the white Kraft Blade adapter that's included with the CAMEO 4.
How is the Kraft Blade different than the Deep Cut Blade?
The Deep Cut Blade and the 2mm Kraft Blade both have a maximum blade depth of 2mm. The difference in the two blades is primarily in the blade angle and therefore the type of materials they cut best. The Kraft Blade has a broad blade angle which makes it ideal for cutting specialty materials such as crepe paper, leather, and fabric. The angle of the Deep Cut Blade is such that it's ideal for cutting paper-based materials.Note: This post may contain affiliate links.

Please help! I'm wanting to make sticker sheets with my new Cameo 4. The stickers themselves will be kiss cut but the sheet itself is die-cut. When I used my Cameo 3. The left blade would do the kiss cut and the right blade would do the die-cut all in one pass through and once the left was done the right would start and finish. Voila! I would have a sticker sheet. But now....... with my Cameo 4, it sounds like the there's no blade for chamber 2 that will cut paper (to cut die-cuts)or is there? What am I doing wrong? Thank you! -Bev
ReplyDeleteHello! Unfortunately with the expanded blade options, we exchanged the ability to do what you're talking about in all one cut. Instead you'll want to do your kiss cut, do not unload, then set your machine to do the deeper cuts.
