The AutoBlade for Cameo 4 is very similar to the previous version of the AutoBlade. Both blades automatically adjust the blade depth so that you don’t have to. However, the AutoBlade for Cameo 4 is a step above its predecessor.
The AutoBlade for Cameo 4 can make an adjustment using only a few clicks—the first click turns the blade to zero and the following clicks set the blade at the depth indicated in Silhouette Studio®. If you are doing two or more cut types on a project, the AutoBlade will pause, return home, and readjust to the correct blade depth following the same process as the initial blade depth adjustment.
We hope you enjoy this updated version of the AutoBlade!
Please note that the AutoBlade for Cameo 4 is compatible with the Cameo 4 only.

Hello. My auto blade is stuck on 0 and is not tapping. I tried to adjust it myself with the ratchet tool.

Hi! Make sure your AutoBlade is pushed down completely in carriage one. Often it will not be completely locked into place which will not allow it so adjust as designed.

My new auto blade for cameo 4 will preform the first cut mat fine but if I load a second mat and attempt to cut again it resets to zero and won’t cut until I either turn off the machine or switch to a different material. How do I fix this?

If you’re experiencing issues with the AutoBlade adjusting properly, please do the following:
Ensure you are loading the blade all the way into the chamber. If it is not fully seated all the way down before locking into place, this can affect the blade’s ability to properly adjust. (see https://youtu.be/E92mXbPIeME)
Attempt to tighten the blade tip by hand. You can do this by gripping the tip of the blade’s housing between your fingers and twisting clockwise. While the cap of the blade should be securely fastened, please be careful not to overtighten the blade while performing this action.
After tightening the blade, press the blade cap in to manually adjust the blade. You can do this several times to ensure the blade is able to be manually adjusted with each tap.
If continued concerns are encountered, please contact support@silhouetteamerica.com for further assistance.

So I’m having the same issue with my autoblade. I made sure it was fully seated. Sometimes when it cycles through the different numbers, let’s say it is set to 3, it will set a 5 for depth. I think these blades have a flaw!
