I recently put in a new cricut blade.
Changed blade and new mat not cutting through cricut.
New settings for new blades.
Ensure you are using a cricut brand blade.
My blade is not cutting all the way thru the vinyl.
For instance if i am cutting vinyl and put it on the vinyl setting it cuts through the vinyl the backing paper and into the mat.
Now finally to make you super unhappy if you have tried everything above and even cricut support could not help it may be the type of material or brand you are using.
The small knife end should be sticking out not the cone point end 2 make sure the blade depth is set at something deep enough to cut through cardstock usually at least 4 or 5.
It seems to be inserted correctly.
Hello lydia i sure hope you can help me i spoke with cricut for over an hour and they could not help.

The five things to pay attention to are your mat blade material setting and pattern.
I have also tried switching it to the deep blade setting and it still does it.
I changed the fine point blade and it now cuts all the way through the backing and scores the matt lightly i changed the blade again thinking it was possible something.

If the machine is still not cutting through materials or is only scoring the paper please contact member care for further assistance.
And if you buy a new blade you will just have to test test and test again as i ve found the settings for your old blade will probably not work with a brand new blade that s all sharp and shiny new.
