Silhouette CAMEO 4 Tools: What Blades are Included?

New Silhouette CAMEO 4 blades and tools are now available to pre order!

But what tools are included with the Silhouette CAMEO 4 and what must be purchased separately?

Tools included with Silhouette CAMEO 4

As far as tools and blades, out of the box the Silhouette CAMEO 4 includes the Autoblade 2 and four tool adapters.

With the exception of the CAMEO 3 Autoblade, the tool adapters can be used to fit Silhouette CAMEO 3 tools in the CAMEO 4. They all go in the left tool carriage, Carriage 1.

The Silhouette tool adapters will also fit a lot of the popular third party tools including the Foil Quill, Amy Chomas Creations Etching and Engraving tips, and the CB09 blade.

The Silhouette CAMEO 4 can also take the new Silhouette Rotary blade, the Kraft blade, and the Punch tool. These tools are all exclusively to be used in the CAMEO 4's right carriage, Carriage 2. They will not work in any other Silhouette machine.

A new CAMEO 4 pen holder will also be available - and compatible with three different size pens. It will fit in Carriage 1 only.

The Punch tool is to mark which areas of a cut design should be weeded.

The Silhouette CAMEO 4 Rotary blade is for cutting fabric without a stabilizer and delicate materials like crepe paper.

The Kraft Blade (which comes standard as a two pack) is for cutting thicker materials like leather, balsa wood, craft foam, and mat board.

The tools are not included standard with the Silhouette CAMEO 4 however some retailers may include them with Silhouette CAMEO 4 bundles when they become available. These are not included in any of the first Silhouette CAMEO 4 pre sale bundles because it would hold up the shipment of the machines - which currently underway exclusively from Swing Design.

A confirmed shipping date has not yet been announced for the specialty blades.

The rotary blade will retailer for $19.99. The Punch tool for $12.99 and the 2 pack of Kraft Blades $14.99.
