I am still waiting for mine to be delivered. Eager to hear feedback on it from those of you who have used it** A: I'm very new to Cricut, but one thing that appears to be a big problem with this blade is that you cant define custom materials using this blade. I tried to cut some perspex/acrylic that was less than the 2.4mm thickness and it fails to cut all the way through. I repeated the cut process probably 7 more times. **Q: Can this housing be used with the scoring wheel tip also?** A: No the scoring wheel has its own housing. This housing is just for the knife blade. **Q: Can I use this on cricut maker 3?** A: The package is labeled for Cricut Maker which includes Cricut Maker 3. **Q: does this blade cut wood?** A: from Cricut.com Qualified Knife Blade cutting materials include: • Balsa wood, up to 3/32” • Basswood, up to 1/16" • Tooling leather, up to 7 oz • Garment leather, up to 5oz • Cricut® Chipboard, 2mm • Matboard, 2-ply or 4-ply • Craft foam, up to 3mm ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ does his job *by J***E on March 27, 2026* It does its job; I cut a 2mm cardboard with it and the cut came out perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice blade and housing *by M***. on December 29, 2025* Nice quality housing and blade.
