A CUTTING TIP

When you are cutting intricate designs, enable the multi-cut or double cut feature in your cutting software so that your design cuts twice.

Most people tend to crank up the thickness/force or increase the blade depth. This just  ends up tearing your paper and/or cutting your mat.


Often a design will actually have several specific start and stop points. When you cut the design twice with the multi-cut or double cut feature you cut through those points and you get a nice, clean, complete cut.


Hope this helps.


Have Fun!

USE OUR GREEN ALTERNATIVE - NEVER THROW AWAY ANOTHER DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BLADE HOLDER AGAIN.



 Our Click 'n' Cut Click Blade Holders use Roland style blades. They are available with three different cutting angles so you use the right blade for the job to get the best cut possible. 



The 30° blade can be used to cut fabric! It also works well for cutting thicker, heavier vinyls.



The 45° blade is also good for vinyl, paper, vellum. You can cut light weight chipboard and light cardstock.



The 60° blade is good for cardstock, chipboard (check your cutters documentation for weight limits), and intricate cuts in paper and vinyl.



When you're cutting a material that you're not familiar with, we recommend the "fold-over" test. 



It's really easy. Take your Click Blade Holder out of the machine and have your cutting mat handy. Do your fold-over cutting tests on a mat so you don't mar your desk or work surface. (Don't ask me how I know!)



Take a sample piece of the material you want to cut, fold it so you have two layers, then using your click blade holder, manually cut the material. When you have the right depth setting the top layer will be cut through and the lower layer will be untouched. 



With vinyl, you don't have to fold it over. Set your Click Blade Holder to the 1 (one) depth setting. Take a test section of your vinyl, make a cut by hand, and if it cuts cleanly through the vinyl without cutting the backing you ready to load the Click Blade Holder into your machine and cut! 



Have Fun!

Click It!

USE OUR GREEN ALTERNATIVE - NEVER THROW AWAY ANOTHER DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BLADE HOLDER AGAIN.


There are 6 depth settings to select from. Here are some guidelines for using the holder with the 45° degree Roland blade.

Click setting 1 exposes the least amount of blade and would be used to "kiss-cut" vinyl, including heat transfer vinyl. This means you can cut your vinyl design layer, leaving the backing layer intact. You can then weed your design, apply your transfer tape and set it aside until you're ready to apply the vinyl.

Click setting 2 would be used to cut on thin/light paper, for example sheer vellum, 20 pound printer paper and 40 to 60 pound patterned paper.  Other papers like thin cardstock (index cards from Staples) and occasionally a heavier vinyl, like Orajet, will need to be cut at 2.

Click setting 3 will be good for flocked vinyl, flocked heat set vinyl, and cutting completely through smooth vinyl, and textured papers, I recommend using 3 when cutting intricate, small cuts on patterned/design papers.

Click setting 4 is a good mid-range setting. Origami paper, inkjet photo paper, vellum, double-sided patterned paper, brown kraft paper are a few examples. Wausau Astrobrights©, 96 pound premium printer paper, and similar weight papers with intricate cuts also do well with a 4 setting.

Click setting 5 takes on cardstock, medium weight metallic papers, commercial photo paper, adhesive backed cardstock, and thin stencil material. 

Click setting 6 handles heavy cardstock, thin acetate, metallic papers, thin chipboard (I highly recommend a 60° Roland blade for all thin chipboard) in a pinch.Stencil material also works but again a 60° Roland blade is a better choice.

These are suggested depth settings only. With so many types of paper, vinyl, and other materials it's impossible to give definitive settings here. So, take the time to play and don't be afraid to sample cut. 

Most of all, have fun! Otherwise, what's the point?

Found A Need - Filled It!

USE OUR GREEN ALTERNATIVE - NEVER THROW AWAY ANOTHER DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BLADE HOLDER AGAIN.

Ruth Stafford Peale, wife of Norman Vincent Peale (a Christian Minister and pioneer in the positive thought movement in the early 20th Century), is credited as the originator of the phrase "Find a need and fill it."

I recently bought a Silhouette Cameo© plotter-cutter upon the recommendation of some  of my fabulous forum friends at Make-The-Cut.com I wanted the creative freedom that these great little cutters provide. No longer restricted by designs that were limited to cartridges, I began cutting some vinyl for a reusable plastic tumbler. Little bits of vinyl got caught in the OEM disposable plastic blade holder that came with the Cameo and it was unusable after about 20 seconds of cutting. I was frustrated. I called the company and they cheerfully agreed to send me a replacement.


While I was waiting, I had my DH (a mechanical genius, a retired tool and die maker, and an all around great guy!) take a plastic housing that I'd purchased as a spare for the cutter I used to use and machine it down to fit my Cameo©.


 IT WORKED!!!

The replacement disposable plastic blade holder came and I then realized that not only was this going to end up being an expensive endeavor each time I needed a new blade, it was also very ECOLOGICALLY UNSOUND!!!!!. Thousands of these little plastic blade holder combos will be going into land fills all over the world. I have been working really hard over the past several years to "green-up" our household and to encourage others to do the same.These blade holders certainly fill the bill!

THE NEED FOR A REUSABLE, LIGHTWEIGHT, CLICK BLADE HOLDER FOR THE SILHOUETTE CAMEO© HAS BEEN FILLED!

We are offering these individually modified click blade holders for sale.


There is a click blade holder for the Zing and one for Silhouette SD© and Cameo©, CraftRobo, and Wishblade plotter cutters!


They use the Roland 30°, 45°, AND 60° blades so you can cut a wide variety of materials with ease.
