Cutting Chipboard

[Andrea Gourley]

My cricut won't cut chipboard even with the deep blade housing

Supposedly the Silhouette will cut chipboard too with the deep blade thing, but I've never tried it. I'm skeptical that it actually will though. I do cut chipboard all the time with my Big Shot using the Sizzix dies and that works wonderfully!!

Of course, that's exactly what you were NOT asking, so I guess that doesn't help!! LOL.

"deep blade" ... do you mean the hot PINK screw on attachment that I use when I cut cardstock and vinyl? I cannot even imagine chipboard ... it BARELY cuts Bazzill when I put it with the PINK blade attachment, slowest speed, and put it on the thickest setting. ...am I missing something?

The Silhouette will NOT cut chipboard, but not because of the blade. It hangs on the backside fo the machine and won't pull back through. As for cutting Bazzill, mine cuts it beautifully, but I run it through twice on a 90 lb setting.

Sorry yours doesn't work...my cousin-in-law has one and hers cuts chipboard beautifully.

The Boss Kut Gazelle also cuts chipboard. I have one and its cut brilliantly.
