Work great in my Graphtec cutter

I bought these specifically to cut stencils with my Silhouette Cameo on my grafix.007. I originally bought the 45 degree and after a million tries I was able to get the 45 degree to cut the grafix .007! However the blades quickly dulled so I decided to try these since I finally cracked the secret to making stencils! These canvases were made using grafix.007 I had cut with these blades. It took a lot of work to get the settings configured though. If you are struggling to find settings that work, I would get 3 mil thermal laminating sheets and find your perfect settings and then try working on finding the correct settings. It worked for me! I googled and tried other people's settings and it never worked so I gave up and bought 3 mil thermal laminating sheets. When trying to find ideal settings, I came across a blog that said to set the media as "Clear sticker material" and I was able to get my 45 blade to cut the laminating sheets with ease using the settings Blade 3, Speed 4, Thickness 33, Double cut. I attempted to master the grafix with my 45 degree and the only way I could cut through the grafix was by lowering the speed and running the silhouette repeatedly. I would click send and wait for the silhouette to finish. Instead of releasing the media, I would leave it in there and run it over and over until it finally cut. Even then I would have to carefully separate the pieces. I quickly realized I was wearing down my blades but I was able to make several stencils and continue to refine my settings. Quickly I got tired of spending an hour rerunning the silhouette to give me a stencil that needed additional attention to detail from me. I decided to buy these blades. I've had the blades for 2 months and I've still only used one blade out of the kit. I switch back and forth between the thermal sheets and the grafix. I am able to cut grafix fairly easily into simple stencils slowing the speed down to 1 and increasing the blades to 4. But I don't even bother attempting intricate stencils like the Cinderella's carriage stencil I made from grafix and used to create the canvas because it's too annoying to waste your time separating it carefully by hand afterwards. Especially because the 3 mil laminating sheets work JUST as good as the grafix! I can't even think of something the laminating sheets can't do just as good as the grafix. The grafix is a great product but I probably won't buy them ever again because the laminating sheets are cheaper anyways. Plus these blades cut through laminating sheets like a warm knife to butter! Actually, I use these blades for pretty much everything but plain white paper. I use the blade that came with my silhouette on paper. And I keep the silhouette blade in the hidden drawer and just adjust my blade by eyeballing it. If I need to pull out the silhouette blade for reference, then it's right there but after working with this blade you will eventually be able to guesstimate what depth you need because you'll understand it's power. This blade will become a reliable friend you can always count on. Sometimes I think to myself oh, I need my silhouette blade for this because my good blade is WAY too powerful to even attempt this material on a 1! I would highly advise you to ease into this blade. I first set it at a 3, speed 3, thickness 33 and I ended up having the stencil image I was attempting deeply engraved into my mat. I also learned quite quickly to always stick what you're cutting to the mat. Until I got this blade, I pretty much never pulled the paper off the mat to expose the stickiness because I wanted to keep it new. I would just tape my media to the mat, but you can't do that with this blade because it is a take no prisoners beast at devouring what it comes across! I tried cutting a very small and intricate stencil on a thermal laminating sheet with this blade and I made the mistake of taping sheet to the mat. As soon as the silhouette started, I could tell this blade was easily cutting every detail. Then suddenly previously cut areas were lifting and getting all tangled into the cut area. I panicked and thought I was going to ruin my silhouette! I released the media and this blade had easily sliced through the tangled mess and very tiny chopped up pieces were scattered everywhere! Hope my info helps someone from the trials and tribulations I went through alone!

These cut like butter in my Silhouette. Couldn't be happier and will save loads of money.

Works well in my Silhouette Cameo 3. Takes some patience and adjusting, but once you find the "sweet spot" it cuts nicely with no issues.

So happy to have found these!

Blades are cutting fine. My first purchase and cannot comment on durability.

Just what I needed. Quick shipping.

I can't figure out how to use these things! No directions came with them. I haven't used them at all other than the 1 time I tried to figure them out.
