![]() ![]() TIP: Your settings may vary considerably from mine as there are so many variables (blade age and sharpness, stickiness of cutting mat, thickness as well as density of the card etc.) However, the principle that I'm recommending with thick and difficult cardstock is that the first cut should be deep enough to at least cut through the top surface without shifting the card. I would expect the cut settings for the ratchet blade to be higher, and closer to the default settings. It then required a second pass at Blade 2, Speed 2, Thickness 27, without removing the mat between cuts. ![]() To understand how the blades work read Nadine's post here.Īfter a little trial and error I found the ideal initial setting for my card was Blade 2, Speed 2, Thickness 22. TIP: There are excellent instructions on how to ascertain the initial blade depth for any type of cuttable media for the original Silhouette black or blue blades from Brian at GraphtecGB in his post here. This was apparent because the blade left cut marks on the mat and shifted the triangle away from the mat surface. I found this to be the case when I used the default Coverstock settings (Blade 5, Speed 1, Thickness 31) and the Test Cut function. It is taking me a little while to get used to the AutoBlade that comes with the Silhouette CAMEO ® 3, and I find that the default settings are sometimes too high for my media.
