CB09 Graphtec Blade 15Pcs 45 Degree Cutting Blades for Silhouette Cameo 1 2 3/Portrait/Curio/Graphtec 6000/CE 5000-60 Plotter

I've been using a vinyl cutter for over 35 years on a daily basis and I used to send my blades off for resharpening at $5 a piece. In 2021, I grabbed a set of HQMaster blades on Amazon for my Roland plotter and the blades are fantastic and last a very long time - and I'm cutting magnetic sheeting and thick stencil material nearly everyday.I purchased these CB09 plotter blades for my Graphtec plotter thinking they'd be the same quality. They are not! The description doesn't mention this, but the packaging states that they have a cemented carbide tip. I've used all five of the blades from one package and I had to increase my blade force from my normal 14 setting to 22 on every one of them just to get them to cut through 2 mil high-performance 3M and Oracal vinyls. The cut is unacceptable, leaving the edge of the cut raised instead of smooth and flat, as better quality blades will.I'm just past the one month window to return them so I purchased a 10 pack of HQMaster plotter blades for my Graphtec plotter knowing that the blades worked very well on my Roland.Avoid these blades!

Sharp blades works with my machine to cut out the fine details of stickers and decals. Great price for how many you get. Will update review if anything changes but so far really happy with these blades.

I like the cost as it is a lot cheaper the buying regular blades.The blades work very well.

love the blades, work perfectly for my projects!
