Can this be cut with a silhouette cameo machine and used for crafting?

I just bought the machine this weekend and tried cutting the vinyl and it works but I had used some masking tape to hold it down to the cutting mat

I have never tried that but if the sheets are Styrofoam remember that Styrofoam is beaded so you will not get a clean cut. also the thickness of the sheet will matter. I hope this helps. Thanks, Joe

Yes. I used a Cameo to cut stencils with the Grafix plastic, speed 1-2, blade thickness 3, thickness 25 (24-27). I use single cut but you may want to try double cut. The perfect setting will depend on the level of detail in your project. These cuts will dull your blade, get a spare for use with plastic.

Yes, stamping will work. I stenciled it to make wrapping paper, and it came out great!

I once asked Silhouette about a special material and this is part of their reply, maybe this helps with your question: "The Silhouette has a cutting force of 210gf and includes a blade that can extend to approximately 1 mm in depth to accommodate thicker material types. However, there is still a limitation depending on the material type's density and make up. Certain materials that are overly dense (such as thin metals or acetate, for example) may not be able to be cut well or at all and can impair the blade. Certain materials that have abrasive natures (such as thicker chipboard or sandpaper) may also impair the blade or dull it very quickly. On the other side of the spectrum, certain fibrous materials (such as select felt materials or handmade papers) may not be held together densely enough for successful cutting."

Yes, you can use this vinyl for your cutting machine. I purchased this same set for my Silhouette Cameo. It's awesome because you have a great color selection and can accomplish many projects with this purchase. The quality of the vinyl is great and I've had no problems with the vinyl peeling off projects.

I used it to cut shapes to put on paper lanterns for my wedding. Also for scrap booking.

It has the punched holes along the edge on both sides for use with certain cutters. I use this with my cameo and have no problem with the punched holes being there

Yes it works with the portrait and the cameo. This is a quote from the Silhouette site: "This replacement blade is compatible with all Silhouette electronic cutting tools".

Yes. I've used it as a source of polyurethane foam for craft projects-- cuts well with electric carving knife or a utility blade. Any creases or crush marks come out well when sprayed lightly with water and steamed carefully with a warm iron.

No. There was a lawsuit a few years ago between provocraft and make the cut and sure cuts a lot. These software companies can no longer make their software to use with cricut. Try Silhouette cameo. It a great machine and you can use whatever software you like and don't need cartridges.

Lea, you are more adventurous than I am- but I believe you can. I know there is also an option with the Silhouette that also allows you to upgrade and allows for a lot more flexibility in its use. I suggest you go to Pinterest and search for the Silhouette cameo- there are many pins there with plenty of information on this great machine!

Yes. Just use a ruler for straight line cut and you can cut any shape even a design if you are creative.

This cuts fondant, sugar sheets, gum paste, and supposedly sugar cookie dough (never tried that) directly, mostly to be used as decorations. Its really not meant for making stencils (a regular cricut and some food-safe vinyl/cardboard would work for that). This machine works well for big broad shapes, but not particularly great for fine detail work on fondant and gum paste because of the soft nature of the materials.

There is no specific diameter that it cannot cut. Templates are always valuable in this respect, though. There are many templates available - especially if can get access to drafting or art supply outlets. If not, one can conceivably be creative and make/or use ones own template. As mentioned in a prior answer, this "gadget" is a freeform cutter; can only cut thin sheets of paper and requires a bit of practice to be able to cut "clean" circles (or any other shape, for that matter).

Yes it can be cut. This is make from a PVC material, so using a hand saw, hacksaw, table saw, etc will work. Just make sure you have a blade for plastic.

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...
