Silhouette SILH-Blade-AUTO Tool Kit, White

I was very pleased with the quality of this product. Cut just as good as the one that came with the machine. This us my second purchase and will buy again#

First of all, I hardly ever write negative reviews, so this pains me to write. I needed a replacement blade and ordered on Amazon to make it easier vs driving close to an hour away to the craft store to pick one up. Sounds like a typical Amazon customer, right? I couldnt wait to dive back into my project once my new blade arrived. Replaced the blade and I couldnt get anything to cut. Fiddled with the mat, the settings, everything, as I figured it was user error in replacing a blade vs a problem with the blade itself. I was WRONG. I pulled the protector cap down and checked the blade- it seemed chipped, wasnt straight nor anything like a new one. Ended up making the drive and getting a new blade there- replaced it with that, and suddenly my Silhouette Cameo 3 cuts beautifully again. I really dont think the blade I was sent was a new blade whatsoever, and Im extremely frustrated and disappointed with the experience. Note to self: only buy replacement blades from the store from now on. Sad.

Simple installation and lasts a long time.

Gracias

I hate to write reviews like this but my frustration compounded with similar experiences leads me here. I ‘tuned up’ my Cameo by updating firmware, updating software and replacing the blade all on the same day. For the next month I struggled with wasted time, product and tears as I struggled to figure out why my vinyl wasn’t cutting. Surely it couldn’t have been the brand new blade I just installed. It must be the software or the firmware. After fiddling with setting, cutting and recutting, uninstalling and reinstalling I finally broke down and purchased a new blade from the local craft store. Lo and behold, it cut beautifully the first time. So frustrating to know that I wasted so much material on a faulty blade, thinking that the software or the machine was the problem. I’ll stick to the craft store from now on, to ensure I get a quality product.

My old blade was too old and with the new one you can feel the difference

this blade would not cut through any material. even at the highest settings in SS there was still an issue. I used google, youtube, and even reached out to chat with a rep at Silhouette America to see what the issue could be. Since I had just bought this blade to replace an old blade, I thought for sure it was the machine and it led to so much frustration. FINALLY, after having to complete an urgent project, I bought a new official Silhouette blade and realized it was this blade all along... then I happened to look at reviews now that I know the blade was the issue and see this is an ongoing issue with other customer. SUCH A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!! I nevveerrr leave reviews, but this is a honest warning!

Easy to use

Love the product, easy to use and fast to install. Stays sharp for a good amount of cutting.

Its exactly what it says and works great. Im having some issues with cuts but I know that user error and not the blade.
