I extensively use Knife Blade to cut 2 mm thick Forex, which is a relatively soft PVC foam board (Google it), primarily to cut cake toppers but can be used for many other applications like letters, numbers, names, logos etc. This is in my opinion much better solution to using Heavy Chipboard or any other wood-board. Forex is softer and very elastic and with Heavy Chipboard settings it requires about 12 passes instead of 24 to cut through. Sharper knife will require fewer passes. You can apply glitter cardstok in desired color on the Forex later on, or any other cardstock, foam, fabric, whatever. I recommend using silicone glue. I tweaked all this a bit more. I realized that by pulling out the blade slightly so that tip of its white plastic housing aligns approximately with the outer rim (but not just quite) of the metal housing I can reduce number of passes to just 6 - 8, depending how intricate shape I cut. And trust me, I cut extremely intricate shapes out of Forex. My blade never broke so far. The only downside that I detected was that the sharp angles of the shapes I cut don't get cut the same as the straight and curved lines, which is natural since the knife is not in its proper position. This doesn't create a serious issue. On the other hand, the blade does not stray at all and I get the cut exactly as desired. Beware, if you decide to try this you can easily ruin your mat due to fewer cuts required than you're used to. I use self-made mat (both 12x12 and 12x24) of transparent PVC that I earlier found hard to cut through. This proved beneficial in this scenario and exactly what I needed. Obviously, this mat is not self-adhesive but I actually don't need it to be. I fix Forex to the mat with few short strips of narrow double tape that I place in the corners as well as few other places, avoiding areas that will be cut out. I never use painters' tape to tape Forex to the mat. What I use it for though, is to remove pieces of double sided tape that remain on the mat after I remove Forex. It works like a charm. By using this method I don't need Cricut Strong Grip Mat anymore and since my mat is difficult to cut through I can use it far longer than any original mat. Hope this will help others. Good luck!

Maker comes with silver housing and premium fine point blade, so you are good. Oh, and the rotary blade of course. Use only premium blades because standard blades dull fast. If it turns out that yo have lots of work to do, you can obtain different housings and use different blades for different materials. I now use silver housing with relatively dull blade for glitter cardstock, gold housing with new blade for paper and cardstock and pink housing with not quite new blade for vinil. Since I mostly cut cardstock I don't want my sharp cardstock blade to be ruined quickly by glitter cardstock. So, by having different housings I always know which is which blade.

IS THE ROTARY BLADE THE ONLY ONE I CAN USE FOR VINYL? I LOST MINE AND DONT WANT TO STOP MY WORK WHILE I WAIT FOR A NEW ONE

For vinyl (both adhesive and heat transfer), you would use the fine point blade not the rotary. If it is a vinyl fabric, you would only want the rotary blade.

Thank you so much. I've had my Explorer Air 2 for years! But upgrading to the Maker cause... Yeah! Lol Regardless. My question is... Do I need the Knife blade and the Deep Cut blade? Or can I be ok with just 1? Save some money lol.

You may need both depending on what you are cutting. I would just get them if you have a need though.

Twill fabric? I think I would try the medium weight fabric setting.

Angie I am looking for a deep cut blade but I'm confused. Do I just buy the blade or do I need a casing as well. Do you have an video explaining how to install and also can you use other companies for this blade or only cricut?
@AngieHolden

You will need a deep point blade and a housing. Then you can just buy replacement blades. I like Cricut brand blades but you can find ones that are other brands.

I’m getting a explorer and I’m wondering three things: 1, can I use my own fabric for it to cut,I have been making mask and it’s so annoying to cut all the fabric and 2: if I were to just purchase the blades I need in the beginning of getting it what blades would you get? And at the beginning what material would you get I might think about getting vinyl at the very beginning of getting the machine but what would you get? Thanks (sorry it’s so many questions)

1) The Explore only cuts bonded fabric. So fabric with interfacing on the back. You won't be able to use it to cut fabric for masks. 2) The Explore comes with the fine point blade. The only other blades you can get are the fabric blade and the deep point blade. I would only get those if you have a material that required them. 3) Starting with vinyl, heat transfer vinyl, or just paper is a great way to get your feet wet!

Hi Angie, I am sure that you have said this however I have missed it. Do you need a special housing (black) for the deep point blade or can you use the silver or the gold housing for the deep point blade?

I think you will need a deep point blade for that thick. You can see more about when to change the blades here: www.thecountrychiccottage.net/when-to-replace-blades-on-your-cricut/
