Does the Cricut Deep Cut Blade &amp; Housing work effectively on thin paper and will standard blades work in it [the housing]?

The blade and housing I bought did not work, so I still don't know what it works on best. Haven't been able to find replacement. Circuit may be great, but I've never been able to use mine.

I have the original Cricut Expression and I use all the blades, including deep cut but not the ones for Cricut Cake. I'm not sure about Cricut Create. To be sure, call Cricut at 801-932-1144 Opt 7.

This designed for knives and scissors and works well. I am boy sure it will work on a paper cutter as generally the piece that hours the blade is thick and you need to get the sharpener blades on to the cutter. It is inexpensive enough so if it does not work it is a useful tool.

I'm sorry, I won't be of much help because I don't have a cricut expression1 machine, so it would not be fair for me to try to answer something that I did not try out. I can tell you that this size is too big for my machine, so I just cut it to fit and it works fine. Good luck.

I have the 1st expression and it's works on mine. Im pretty sure they have the same plug ins. And yes it does work with the cricut craftroom. very easy to set up your machine with the craftroom. It gives you easy to follow instructions. I hope this helps!

Yes, I used it in a cricut and silhouette. The product is not good though. it's very thin and comes with minimal direction. I would steer you towards siser easy weed htv.

I believe it will only cut one layer. I purchased the Silhoutte for quilting and appliqu, have not been happy. You can find something better for quilting, the costumer service and policies are not consumer friendly. Works OK for paper. Wish I had saved my money for a better product.

I got the cricut cake for my birthday and I have been able to use it for both. I bought a separate mat and a deep blade housing and blades. You have to play around with the settings depending on the thickness of your paper and what not but I was happy with the way it cut fondant and paper.

Yes! There are rubber sheets available for stamps etc, there is also a "thick material" cutting blade as well for the cricut. There is a new program out that allows you to cut any font or design using your cricut which means you would never need to buy another of the expensive cartridges. I design files for it and you can find them at http://www.scrapbookcutters.com the information about the program can be found on my blog. I also own a yahoo group where you can get tons of information too. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CriCut/

Yes, the included blade works for plywood, melamine, and other finished sheet goods with very little tearout. The blade is more finish style than rough/cross cut style.

Regular Silhouette blade-- there is a setting in Silhouette Studio that will be best for cutting the magnet paper.

I personally use it for fabric but I have used it for cardboard which is thicker than card stock so I dont think it would be a problem. I do highly recommend using same name brand titanium blades if using for this purpose. They will last at least 3x as long as the regular blades.

Cutting one or two sheets with a paper cutter like this is like swatting flies with a shotgun. Mine tends to just crease the paper if I don't have a big stack, but that may be because I've cut so many big stacks with it. For lighter work, I recommend one of the Fiskars paper cutters, like this one: Fiskars 12 Inch Portable Scrapbooking Trimmer (196920-1001)

Paper shouldn't be a problem at all. I would, however, suggest purchasing a "self-healing mat" as well. The mat will "absorb" the blade, so it will cut smoothly through your thicker paper.

Hi Sheila. I love this machine. I agree with the other responses however I have done a short test run of just cutting a straight line from the edge of the paper to the center of each hole and then inserting the new page this way and it sure does seem to hold well but depending on what you are using it for that may not be a permanent solution. Also, don't buy the crimper...I use a small pair of needle nose pliers that work great.

I have never used rolled paper so, unfortunately, I cannot answer your question about the cutters.

Without the roll feeder, it works best on single sheets of media. I recommend the cutting mat for most media, the rollers can't be trusted to hold all things firmly enough. Definitely research cutting mat care and preservation as this can become one of the more expensive aspects using the Silhouette.
