CB09 for Silhouette Cameo Engraving Tip & Cuttering Holder Tool, 2 Vinyl Fabric Cutting Blade and 7 Lovely Blank Tags, For Use in Silhouette Cameo 1 2 3 4/Portrait/Curio/Graphtec 6000/ Plotter

i love this little engraver it has change what i can do with my silhouette for sure, and does a great job at it as well

The media could not be loaded. I was happy with the results when I used this on my Curio. My dog tag and key chains were beautifully engraved. I was pleasantly surprised. I had no expectation that the engraving would be in the same league as a laser engraver. I was able to engrave an entire quote onto an ATC blank, so that was fun and the recipient loved it!I don't mind adjusting the blade depth, particularly on my Cameo and my Curio, because they never had auto-adjust/auto-blade, so manual adjustments were always necessary. The numbers were helpful, but more often than not, I would have to play around with them to get the cut I wanted. Even with the auto blade on my Cameo 4, I still have a lot of "user-defined" cut settings.The cutting blades included in the kit are just regular cutting blades for cutting vinyl. I will use these on my Silhouette Cameo because I use auto blades on my Cameo 4. The blades will cut regular vinyl, HTV, vinyl sticker paper, and cardstock (smooth and textured.) The only drawback is the absence of depth indicator numbers!I did my first practice runs and final engraving on blanks from my stash and the engraving tip worked just fine. This is a good kit if, like me, you only engrave occasionally. I don't engrave things often enough to justify the cost of a laser engraver so this is a wonderful alternative.This kit is a fabulous addition to my die-cutting and engraving toolbox! I am happy with this product! I think the price is fair!

Great modification tip to get away from the cartridge blades. Blades cost pennies to replace with this and it cuts excelent. Slightly heavy on the head and it can hang occasionally as the lift is slow.

This little tool is so good. I mean you just have to experiment at first. I recommend getting any other thing that's engravable and just experimenting before you actually try that I'm a little kid can you text. These are very useful if you want to start like a business or sell them I made personalized ones and I actually sold them so this is a very useful toy you just have to experiment on your settings because every machine varies in my opinion I don't know but the settings Erica recommended did not work for me I had expired by my own settings

I have another CB09 blade holder to compare this one too. This one is more lightweight, aluminum construction, but that does not have an effect on the performance. The blade was easy to install and fits in my Silhouette Portrait 1 perfectly. I managed to get the blade depth perfect for cutting glossy and metallic vinyl. I have a lot of detail points and had a smooth cut on everything.I haven't yet tried the engraver, my machine isn't really meant for engraving, so I am a little nervous. I may need to make sure the aluminum pieces can fit under the roller bar before I break my machine. I wanted this to have a second blade carrier to be able to switch blades for different materials quickly.I like that the spring for the blade is in the holder instead of on the blade, I have lost those little springs before so this might be better. If using different blades that have the springs on them, you should remove the spring before inserting into the holder.

I don't understand how to use it

I did not even plan on getting this blade until I came across this great deal for it on Amazon. It works great too! The first thing I engraved was a dog tag for my FiFi. I actually even used one of the tags that this tip came with. It came with 7 different tags and I chose the heart one for my puppy. It has a smooth finish and worked greats. Also, It is as simple as 1 2 3 to install. Anyone with a Cameo will be able to use this type of tip.

Tried using it to cut leatherette, can't seem to figure out blade depth for it to cut. Finally gave up and used my auto blade in my cameo.
