- Reviewed in Canada on October 1, 2019When I first installed one of these blades it was cutting through everything.... I used a caliper to measure the length and they appear to be slightly longer than the more expensive "gold" blades, so here's the trick to making them work just fine no matter the variance in blade length.
Put the blade into the carriage slot, with the power off, push down side A's carrier it will go down towards the cutting surface, then with side B's carriage lock open and the blade carrier sitting freely push the white side B carrier down, it will lock down near the cutting surface. Then simply lock the side B carrier lock.
This will allow any size blade to properly be lowered and locked into place then turn on your Cricut and it will actuate both side A and B back upwards to their resting positions. Notice the small gap between the aluminum blade carrier and the Side B plastic carrier? That's the amount extra that blade would be buried into your vinyl or cutting mat if we didn't do this trick!
Think of this method as a manual calibration for blade length =) The best part is this trick works with aftermarket blades too! So even if they are slightly longer you can have them cut as expected.
