Best Blades to Use

Now that you have the Cricut Explore machine and fallen in love with the way it cuts, right ? It’s only logical to start wondering about…

  • What is the difference in the Cricut Explore vs Cricut blades ?
  • Why use one blade over the other with my Cricut Explore?
  • How do I change my blade?
  • What about the Deep Cut Blade and Housing ?

Good news is I have done a little “show and tell” video to help you !

Let me know after you watch the video if you still have blade questions. I also recommend you always have a replacement blade on hand so when you need to change your blade you have one on hand and keep on crafting away !

Great news is that Cricut has the German Carbide Blade and the Deep Cut Blade (and other supplies) on sale right now for 35% OFF and you can use MARCHSHIP to get FREE Shipping on any size of order.  CLICK HERE TO SHOP FOR BLADES .  Thanks for using my link to make your purchase and support me.

    My cricut Exploer is no cutting my paper. I changed the blade, still not cutting. ?? I’m thinking I need the German Blades..?…

    1. Hi Laura – Are you using the right setting for the paper type you are cutting ? Was it cutting before but has now stopped ? The German Carbide Blade is preferred for the Cricut Explore but you may have some other issue going on here. I would suggest you call Cricut Support for help if changing the dial does not help.

        Ok thanks. I did change the settings and that didn’t work. I’ll call Cricut.
