CB09 Blades for Silhouette Cameo 4/4 Plus/4 Pro/3/2/1/Portrait/Curio/with Graphtec Holder Housing 15PCS (30/45/60 Degree) Cutting Blades for Cameo Replacement Accessories Buddle

These blades are awesome!!!!! I ordered them because i needed to cut some very small text in adhesive vinyl with my cameo and the regular cameo blade wasn't doing a great job. I read on the internet that a cb09 blade was good for intricate cuts. Ummm...what???? I had never even heard of that, but if course I found them on Amazon. These come with a holder, blades in 3 different sizes and springs. You assemble them yourself but it is very easy. Mine did not come with instructions, but there are lots of you tube videos that show you how to do it. The blade sizes are 60degree, 45degree and 30degree. You want to select the blade depending on what material/project you are cutting. Mine didn't come labeled but they are color coded (30-yellow, 45-red, 60-blue). They also don't adjust numerically like the cameo blades do, you just have to eyeball it. This has not been hard for me. If you have an old cameo blade, you can set that numerically and then adjust the cb09 blade to look visually the same. The 60degree is good for intricate cuts and thin material like regular adhesive vinyl, so it worked awesome for my small text. The 45degree is good for standard materials like cardstock and thicker vinyl. The 30degree is good for thicker materials like fabric and heavyweight cardstock. After I finished my first project a few months ago, I have used only these blades with my cameo. In my opinion they work way better than the silhouette rachet blade, plus they are a way better value since you get a bunch of each size. Sometimes you may need to adjust the blade size depending on what you are cutting. Recently, i was cutting some adhesive glitter vinyl using the 60degree blade. I was having trouble cutting it all the way through, even after adjusting the blade and cut settings. After a few failed attempts, I finally switched to a 45degree blade and it cut the vinyl like butter!!!!! Seller was great - very responsive and helpful when I inquired about getting an extra blade holder.

Not as described. Did NOT fit my machine.

After doing hours upon hours of research, I ordered these blades and holder to fit a Cameo 2 that I was gifted. I am just starting off and am new to all of this so really took a chance with all of the cheap replacement items I ordered on Amazon. I got my Silhouette for free, but there were no blades, cutting mats, or power cord. The CD in the box was outdated. In case someone else is gifted one or finds one cheap, here's what I did: I downloaded the Silhouette software on their official website. This gave me the most up to date app to use all of their machines. I ordered these replacement blades, making sure they said CB09. I ordered this brand specifically because after scouring the web, I was relatively sure that this blade holder would fit the machine without any adjustments. I made sure to check each blade for the angle, as the colors differ from other brands. I then marked the blade bags accordingly. For me, yellow was 30°, red was 45°, and blue was 60°. I carefully put the new 60° blade into the new holder with the springs provided, then adjusted the new holder so that visually it looks exactly the same as the old ratchet blade, adjusted to level 3. All of my other adjustments will now be made in App instead of on the blade for the time being. I popped that blade holder in my machine, and tried it out. This blade works much much better than the manufacturer blade. It cut through cardstock easily without any catching or tears. It also reduced my cut time by like 80%. I was actually yelling with how impressed I was! In my pictures, the V day lettering is done with the previous manufacturer ratchet blade. It took over 10 min to cut the cardstock, caught on the paper, and barely cut other shapes that I could even punch/weed out in one pass. The rough draft of the balloon card is what the new blades cut. The Cameo 2 with these blades cut the whole card out in one pass in less than 120 seconds. I will definitely purchase again when needed.

I had the same issue several others had where my CB09 wouldn't fit in the Silhouette adapter well enough to allow it to close. I was pretty bummed about it because I had already tried a CB09 from a different vendor with the same results. I had intended to return it but my husband is very handy and capable so I asked him if he'd be able to file down the ring that is supposed to fit in the groove of the adapter. He said "absolutely!", put it in his drill press to hold it steady and filed it down. Then he did the other one too and now I have two different CB09 holders that will work in my machine. I used this one tonight to cut a bunch of boxes out of kraft paper and it cut beautifully. I got a much cleaner cut with this adapter and blade than I've ever gotten from a Silhouette blade. Ideally it would have fit without modification but since my husband was able to take care of it I'm happy with it.

I’m leaving 5 stars although it required modification. It’s a great price and a great replacement. I did have to take my nail drill (yes A NAIL DRILL FOR YOUR 💅) and kinda slim down the housing so the adapter could close. It works perfectly! There’s a little guess work when it comes how much of the blade tip to let out, but if you can visually compare to another manual blade-you should be able to guesstimate 😬

I was pretty excited to use this blade, however after fighting with it for over two days and trying the original and replacement item to check for defects; it it obviously not the same as the one in the picture. The one in the picture looks to have a shorter black part and would probably work great in the machine. The one you receive looks to be a bit longer (as pictured) My first issue is that you have to really fight to get it in the adapter/housing for the silhouette 4; I mean really force it in there and hope that it doesn't pop back out. I nearly busted a housing. My second issue is that no matter how far I pulled the blade back it would slice through the paper/vinyl as the machine would move around the material. And if I pulled the blade too far back, it wouldn't cut at all. (obviously) After examining the photos more I realized they must have changed the shape and this may be causing the undesirable issues that I am experiencing. Which is unfortunate. I would not recommend this for users of the Cameo 4.

Took a little bit to figure out how to install these since there are no instructions included, but you need to take the black cover off the front and insert the silver end of the blade into the center, then remove the color coded cap from the blade and screw the black cover back on. The wheel on the opposite side lets you adjust the blade depth (manually - it's not an autoblade). Then insert in the gray adapter that comes with your Cameo 4 (I have the 4 Plus). It is a SNUG fit, but the thin plastic of the adapter will push onto the body of blade holder. I slipped it into my #1 tool slot in place of the autoblade and in silhouette studio, set it to manual blade, 1mm (I tested using copy paper). I did the copy paper, medium (20lb) preset but changed the force to 15, passes to 2, and speed to 5 as I was cutting circles so wanted it to go slow on the curves. It printed PERFECTLY the first time! I will be interested to see how long the blade stays sharp, but with multiple blades in the set, it's going to be easy to keep a sharp one on hand. Highly recommend it if you have a Silhouette cutter!

From what I hear CB09 blades are just great. However, to work with a Cameo 4, it has to fit in the blue adapter, and this one doesn't. Scuttlebutt online is that quality control varies on this particular one, so some will fit, and some won't. I was not able to put it in my CB09.

This blade is the best thing I've bought. I bought a lot of different sillouette blades before I heard about this one. Wish I didn't now as i won't be using anything else. Apparently you need to be careful as some of the CB09 don't fit the machine. This particular one didn't have that issue. It is connected to the blue attachment and works so perfectly I bought 3 so I don't have to swap the blades around. Did intricate tiny font to see how the blade stacked up and was perfect.

Very good, love how fast the delivery was.

good

The set is fully compatible with our Graphtec 6000 (CE6000) and works without any issues. Installation is easy, the holder stays stable, and the cutting is clean and precise. It is very convenient that there are 30/45/60 degree blades for different materials and details. A good choice and a very good price to quality ratio.

Excelente relación precio producto, muy buen filo.
