So glad I found you, your tests were wonderful. You have taken all the work out for us, Thanks

I calibrated my maker for the knife blade, then used the cutting blade to cut some 1/16 inch basswood. It recommended 14 passes, so I set it, and left my project. The final results were heart breaking. I had a perfect cut of a shape that went completely through my grip mat. Not deterred, I tried again, and this time I carefully watched my project. For my maker it actually only takes six passes to cut through 1/16 inch basswood. The settings don't allow me to change the passes, so I just make sure to watch the projects carefully.

YES! You have to start checking at about 1/2 way through the cut with any knife blade projects.

Hi ladies. I cut Graphix medium weight chipboard today with my Maker and a brand new knife blade. I chose the Cricut 2.0mm chipboard setting because my chipboard was 2.0mm thick. I ended up cutting completely through my brand new Strong Grip mat on 75% of the cut lines and I now have a few small, thin 1/4" long cuts/cracks in the floor*/base of my Maker machine itself!!! I watched it cut the entire time but my 2 designs were only 3" by 4" so most of the design was under the carriage while it was cutting, therefore making it hard to tell if it did cut through or not. I almost cried when I seen the scratches/cracks!!! I will be using the pause feature regularly from here on out!!! Absolutely devastated. I did cut one Print then Cut on printer paper after with the fine point blade and it cut perfectly, I really hope I didn't damage my Maker. I love it so much!! Thanks for teaching me about the pause/lift technique. 😭😭😭

I was researching what machine to get to do the type of crafts that I am doing now and want to do because my current machine, a Cricut Explore One, is older and I know not as versatile as I'm sure the newer ones are. Your presentation was excellent!!! Kudos for that! Very well organized and very informative. I do have one other material I was curious about, mylar for stenciling. When I first started gathering materials I would need, I got some 10mil (Yeah, really thick) because I wanted my stencil to hold up for several uses. All my Cricut would do is to scratch the surface. Being a new user, I didn't know that it is not uncommon to have to do multiple passes to cut all the way through some materials, at least I didn't until now. (THANK YOU!) I figured out it was way too thick so I got some 6mil. It would cut through some, but not all the way even after 2 passes. If you could try this on yours, I would appreciate it.

With chipboard, start about half way through the cut and stop your machine to check the cut. That will prevent damage to your mat. You can remove the project when it has cut all the way through.

Try this for a blade explanation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7h2qK172Muogo0.html - your machine came with the fine point blade. At the end of the cut, the double arrow button should be flashing. Press that button and the mat should eject from the machine almost completely. Be sure to tell the machine that you are cutting on the mat when you start your cut.
