## Description

This Cricut cutter allows you to cut the desired shapes on a wider variety of materials and apply them to your projects.

With the harder and more durable steel, this knife blade precisely cuts balsa wood up to 3/32", basswood up to 1/16", tooling leather up to 7oz, garment leather up to 5oz, Cricut chipboard 2mm, matboard 2-ply or 4-ply, craft foam up to 3mm, and other thicker and denser materials to create projects like puzzles, dinosaur skeletons, models, leather goods, dioramas, wood decor, and so much more.

Review: Cuts Like a Ninja, Crafts Like a Boss - This blade doesn’t just cut — it slices through materials like it’s auditioning for a samurai movie. I used it on chipboard, leather, and even balsa wood, and it handled everything like a champ. My Cricut Maker now feels like it’s powered by ancient crafting magic. Just don’t blink while it’s working — it’s that fast and precise. If your DIY projects need a little more “wow” and a little less “meh,” this blade is your new best friend.
Review: Very nice blade and housing - Nice quality housing and blade. Very long compared to the fine point blade. I’ll show you the comparison in a photo.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Who has used this? I am still waiting for mine to be delivered. Eager to hear feedback on it from those of you who have used it**
A: I'm very new to Cricut, but one thing that appears to be a big problem with this blade is that you cant define custom materials using this blade. I tried to cut some perspex/acrylic that was less than the 2.4mm thickness and it fails to cut all the way through. I repeated the cut process probably 7 more times.

**Q: Can this housing be used with the scoring wheel tip also?**
A: No the scoring wheel has its own housing.  This housing is just for the knife blade.

**Q: Can I use this on cricut maker 3?**
A: The package is labeled for Cricut Maker which includes Cricut Maker 3.

**Q: does this blade cut wood?**
A: from Cricut.com
