Product Description

The Cricut Knife Blade uses a 12mm blade and Cricut Maker drive mechanism to cut approved thick and dense materials with multiple passes.

It is suitable for compatible materials up to 2.4mm thick, including selected balsa wood, basswood, matboard, chipboard and tooling leather.

Cutting times vary by material and design and can be significantly longer than standard blade operations.

Knife Blade projects must be prepared and sent from Cricut Design Space on a compatible Windows or Mac computer.

Calibration is required before first use.

For best results, secure the material to a StrongGrip Machine Mat, tape the edges when recommended and move the machine’s star wheels away from the cutting path.
