...on a whole heap of possibilities when I realised that the new Silhouette Cameo would cut 300gms and my Studio SD would only just cut 210gms. I wanted to be able to cut heavier card but there is no way I could justify buying a new machine. Now I've bought the new replacement blade I've managed to cut 300gms card like a knife through butter. The instructions say don't go above three for the SD but I've cranked it up to 5 for the heavier card.
The only thing I've noticed with the thicker card is that you need to leave a bigger margin around the edge of the page so the rollers don't go over the edge. If it does the card will jam up and not cut properly. I imagine if you do that enough times you will wreck the machine!!
Interestingly the web site I bought it from stated that it would only fit the cameo, although it arrived with a big sticker on the front of the package giving the number equivalents for the coloured caps.
How sad am I that this was the highlight of my day.....
